Cavs roll in spite of Jokić | Thinking Basketball with Ben Taylor
06 Dec 2024
Nikola Jokić passed Magic Johnson on the NBA’s all time triple doubles list, but it wasn’t enough as the Nuggets were handily beaten by the league best Cleveland Cavaliers. Dave DuFour and Es Baraheni discuss Jokić night and season thus far, revisit the “Jamal Murray or Donovan Mitchell” debate, and Ja Morant’s ejection against the Kings. Then, Ben Taylor, from “Thinking Basketball”, joins the show to talk about the contenders that pass his sniff test. Finally, Es and Dave take a look at some eye opening numbers.Host: Dave DuFourWith: Es BaraheniExecutive Producer: Andrew SchlechtAudio Producer: Grayson MoodySubmit your questions to The Athletic NBA Daily mailbag: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5939460/2024/11/25/nba-podcast-mailbag-athletic-daily Hosted on Acast.

Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for December 6, 2024. Coming up, the Cavs keep rolling and the Nuggets are not looking good. We got Ben Taylor from Thinking Basketball to give the contender sniff test to the contenders in the NBA. And S dug up some stats that are just, they're absurd. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. Morning. Another interesting night in the NBA.
It was a little bit of a dead night.
Always is.
No NBA Cup, and I just have felt such a letdown. On these non-cup nights. And then, you know what I did, S? I checked the schedule for tomorrow and had completely forgotten that Cup Life is over. There's no NBA Cup.
Cup Life is over. We're just waiting for the semifinal or quarterfinals. Quarterfinals. That's right.
Next week. But, you know, we did get Cavs Nuggets. And, you know, this is a matchup that we've been looking forward to. The Nuggets looking... Kind of better, but also not all the way better in the lead up to this. And the Cavs still rolling. They win this game, and it looked pretty easy. Nikola Jokic in the game puts up another triple-double. It's what he does.
139th of his career, he passed Magic Johnson for third on the all-time list. But S, for some reason. That's absurd.
