These guys arent capable of guarding or containing an opposing teams best or second best player. Solid role players.

Cant blame Rudy and prop up Jokic. His defense and lack of versatility is also a big reason why they are 1-8
Right in time for the playoffs I’d imagineI hate to break it to Ja, but Nike and underdogs is an oxymoron.
Shoes look great. Why April tho??
If OG is really on the block I'd make a strong push for him if I was the Nuggets FO. MPJ package should do the trick.
I missed this. what on earth are you babbling about?
you do know there are examples of great players on limited rosters, who didn't run 40% usage, never run, and play at snails pace.
you realize this is possible? You understand that?
Jokic second best player was Will Barton and Monte Morris last year.
Somehow they managed to ha 6th best offense.
just stop, breath, it's fine Luka is great no one is doubting that.
but to act like they are playing 10000% optimally because you are incapable of grasping nuance
is extremely tiresome.
If you're one of the greatest offensive players ever, no one cares about you not defending.
Just ask Dirk.
They are the 8th seed at 18-16 and are 1GB from the 4-seed, 3 GB from the 2/3 and 4 GB from the 1-seed.
So you are telling me they’d be a Top 4 team in the West if they ran more, right?
Can you name a team with a great offensive center that doesn't play defense that's won a chip? Or are we only talking about regular season?
KCP was a really important piece for the bubble Lakers and the year following because of his perimeter defense.
They said Harden couldn't be a good second man because he won't pass the ball

Having defensive limitations in certain matchups =/= Doesn't play defense
You're talking like Jokic is a non-defender and that isn't true at all.

Not playing defense is a stretch imo. He's not some turnstile.
We also never seen a center capable of doing what Jokic does.
Watching him in last year's playoffs and get hunted on defence, Malone subbing him out at every defensive possession...I don't really care between the terms...the fact is, he was a liability in the playoffs and was unplayable at that end when it mattered most So my question hasn't been answered...because the answer is that no one one with a Center that's a defensive liability.
Maybe the terminology was off...but the point still stands. Can you win a chip with a centey that's a liability on defence?
GSW and that PHX are the exact type of teams where Jokic defense has zero chance of stopping.
and with a limited roster they didn't have the firepower to outscore them.
Yes I think you can 100% win a chip with a player of Jokic's offensive talent and defensive liabilities.
Yeah I think you can definitely win with him as your best guy.You know how you don’t build around Jokic for playoff success?
Exactly how the Nuggets have.
