Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:02:12 GMT

Jokic has not played well since the stupid Kendrick Perkins controversy, going into a shell, with poor passing, carelessness with the ball and a general lack of observable interest. It is too bad. The Nuggets have gone stale at the wrong time.– Tim, misses his MVPKiz: While he loves basketball, Jokic often seems to feel imprisoned by his celebrity status in the NBA. Is it just me, but does Joker look emotionally weary from all the Haterade poured on him?

Let us count the ways. Payton took away Wilson’s private office, threw shade at him...
