Nisam baš neki "Jokićevac", ali jedna stvar mi je danas zapala za oko. Na NBA.com-u (znači ne ESPN dežurni analitičari), novinar u osnovi piše kako je Jokić zaustavljen u noćašnoj utkmici i da se mučio sa odbranom, igrom i faulovima. Ako jedan igrač ima statistiku koju je on imao danas (uključujući prilično kvalitetnu poslednju četvrtinu) i igra se ocenjuje kao loša, postavlja se pitanje kakvu je lestvicu kvaliteta Jokić postavio da bi neko smatrao da on igra dobro.
Evo dela teksta:
"But for one night — and it couldn’t come on a more important night, given the stakes — Denver not only survived without much from Jokic, who missed a triple-double for the first time in five games, but thrived. It started when Jamal Murray couldn’t miss a first-half shot, and then others chimed in. Bruce Brown, Michael Porter Jr., Jeff Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope all hit timely shots or made defensive plays that prevented the Lakers from taking advantage of the situation.
Jokic had nine points, six assists and four rebounds through three quarters and dealt with foul trouble; he got his fourth with seven minutes left in the third and sat. And yet, L.A. could only manage a 1-point lead before the Nuggets snatched momentum back for good with a 13-0 run in the fourth."
