worst stretch of three games that he's ever had. I think he's been under 40% in the field and all of it. A lot of it is the Thunder defense. They're only guarding Jokic for the most part. It's boxes and elbows every single time. Jokic is 11 of 16 in the restricted area. For the series, that's four attempts per game at the rim. He's 25 of 72 everywhere else.

He's going to have to hit jumpers to be able to beat this Thunder team because they're showing him his defender, a defender behind the defender, and then a guy reaching down, trying to strip it every single time. That's why his turnovers are up. He's got 23 turnovers to just 19 assists. He's throwing passes to nobody.

How often are you seeing Jokic assists where he's just chucking it into the first row? It's happening a lot. In this series, he's completely out of rhythm and he can't make a jump shot right now. His three-pointer has completely abandoned him. He was two for eight in this game, 21% from the series. He's even not shooting free throws well. Was 11 of 14 last night.

That's very good, but he had two big misses. Down four with three minutes and 15 seconds left. He's only shooting 78%. for the series. Sounds pretty good, but he's a career 82% free throw shooter. Never had a season below 80. 74% so far in this playoffs. By far the worst of his career.

And the Thunder are so good defensively that they can help on Jokic and get out to the shooters because they're not worried about him at all. Maybe Michael Porter Jr. can have a big night shooting. Maybe Jamal Murray can have a big night shooting. But last night, MPJ 0-5, Christian Brown 2-9, Westbrook 2-9.

The Nuggets blew their lead with Jokic on the bench, and then they lost the game with Jokic on the court. He just has not been MVP level, and it's because the Thunder are such a good defensive team, and he's out of rhythm. Maybe his elbow's bothering him. He hurt it in the first round, but no excuses at this point. You got to make some shots if you're going to win.

That was the problem in the first quarter for sure. 25 total points. They should never do that. They should never have a game that quickly.
