Jokic would be toasted by the end od season. No C can do it for the number of games Jokic plays. He would need to sit 22 games to give you 60 games like this He wouldn't though. He'd be able to rest a ton of 4Q and he scores so easily. What he did in the 1st half probably took nothing out of him. It seems pretty clear to me that Jokic is actively trying to force other guys to step up because he knows there will be times when he can't bail us out himself. It's still January and nobody will care about these random games when we're in the middle of a playoff series, but Jokic putting guys like Watson/Strawther/Braun in uncomfortable situations now could indeed pay dividends later in that context. We need Strawther to shoot. We need Watson to keep hitting those 3s and those paint jumpers. We need Braun to get his offensive confidence back. And the only way those guys are going to learn is by doing.

Lazy play lets Wiz cut deficit to single digits.

Both MPJ and Murray are shooting really well in this game, like 65%fg and 70% from 3. If one of them is below 50%, this game is close. Our bench was 19:4 at the half so Jokic would need to play the entire game. Murray and MPJ need to be more consistent so Jokic can get more rest

Wow. I have confidence we'll pull this out, but they have totally collapsed the last few. Lazy and assuming it's over, I guess...

if your analysis is too basic even for Mr. Marlowe, it's time to step your game up.

Jokic scored 38 pts on 79% fg. If he shot 58% fg so far, which is still a really good efficiency, he'd have 30 points and this would have been 3pt game going into 4th

Yes. Many here and elsewhere can see it also. The guy might just be special.

Yes. Many here and elsewhere can see it also. The guy might just be special. The best part is we don't need him to be special this year to repeat. We just need him to be better than Jeff Green for 4 playoff series. Worry about being special next year and beyond.
