This feels like a 43/18/14 type of Jokic game.
It felt really weird to write that. Those are NBA2K on rookie mode numbers. And amazingly, not unrealistic.

The bad: C'mon Phenom. "GAME THREE?" No. "GAME 3."
The good (for the Wolves): Gordon is out.

Even though he hasn't been himself, that is huge news in this pivotal game. Undersized Jones starting at PF maybe with Nnaji behind him? I like Gordon and feel bad for him, but I like winning more, so this is good news for our squad.AbeVigodaLive wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2026 5:05 pm The bad: C'mon Phenom. "GAME THREE?" No. "GAME 3."

I have the same nagging fear as you though about 43/18/14. Come on Rudy, we need you.

I just want to point out that the big reason Jokic hasn't had a monster game is because
1) yes Rudy's great iso defense
But also
2) Denver is positioning Jokic at the top of key most possessions with Rudy out there to draw him away from the basket to open up driving lanes and playmaking opportunities for the team. Its a big reason why Murray is having a good series so far. Ultimately I think this is to the Wolves advantage if they keep doing it because I think Minnesota will get better at defending it. With Gordon out they should be able to let Rudy lurk with Randle defending Jokic

I was thinking the same thing about letting Rudy lurk, Aussie. But while Jones hasn't taken that many 3-pointers this season, he's still hit 39.6% of them, and he was a 40% three-point shooter in his 4 years at Stanford. I don't know that we want to leave him alone.AussieWolf3 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2026 5:34 pm I just want to point out that the big reason Jokic hasn't had a monster game is because
