I don't really know what else Malone can do with Jokic.
I've done my fair share of bagging on Malone and his rotations this year but until Jokic can play a full game against a mobile Big, and not pick up 5 fouls, then I can't even hate on Malone.
Dude has to be on pins and needles any time Denver is on defense with Jokic in the paint.
His foul trouble issues are definitely apparent, it's obvious he could still work on his body/conditioning more.
But when you coming down the stretch and you don't run your offense through your best player, that's just stupid.
That's not rotations that's just terrible play calling/game management.
At the end of the game, Jokic got the ball on a broken play near the 3pt and took KAT to the rim easily.
So for the last two possession you don't run anything for him and let Jameer Nelson try to win the game for you?
Thibs has had his problems with the Wolves this year too, still no problem getting the ball in his best players hands when it's time.
