What happened during Nikola Jokic's historic game?
Good morning, everybody. Good morning, guys. Thanks for staying up, Anthony, and hanging out with us. We originally thought we were going to be talking about Steph Curry right off the top, but Nikola Jokic kind of bumped him from the front page here. A 61 point triple double in a loss. Actually, a crazy game. Anthony, you were you're actually in Memphis. You were there for the Warriors, the Warriors Grizzlies game. But you caught the you know, the last quarter last the double overtime of this game when the game kind of got absurd. What do you think, man? I mean, this is to me the game of the year. And you maybe didn't see the whole thing I did. But how do you feel about the finish to this game?
Yeah, it was crazy. A lot of shot making. Big threes. Aaron Gordon was hitting big threes. Alexander Walker obviously returning. And then, you know, the Westbrook thing is going to be like the headline probably tomorrow because they had it won. You know, he could have, I guess, dribbled it out with 10 seconds left. Then they probably foul him with eight. I actually don't mind taking the layup. How do you miss the layup? Yeah, you can't miss it. And then I don't know why you're even getting close to, you know, fouling Alexander Walker there. I mean, look, if he hits it, he hits it. You want some kind of a contest, but it was almost like a fake hustle late contest that put him in danger. And just, I mean, a combo blunder that will be the story. I mean, like Jokic's stat line.
He ruined the game.
you know i mean i hate to say it it it literally is the story um you know he gets that he makes makes a good defensive play makes the right pass to christian brown and blows the layup and and look those things happen but to double down and come back and and to foul nikhil alexander walker when he's firing up a hot potato i mean this was this was i don't think it was a foul
Yeah, I thought it got him on his arm. I think it did. It felt a little soft for that moment. Yeah, that's fair. I didn't like it. That's probably fair. Yeah, it's kind of a tough one. I think it's the Russell Westbrook experience, right? They're going to call that because it's Russ because in those type of situations, he's prone to making that type of mistake. And I think that's part of the situation here. You saw the 10-second experience of what it is to have Russell Westbrook on your team. Incredible hustle, makes the hustle play, gets a good defensive stop, but then hustles too hard to blow the layup and then foul the guy on the other end. I mean, yes, that's going to be the storyline, but...
Nikola Jokic put up one of the best games I've ever seen in my life, live. It was incredible to watch him just surgically carve. He played the entire second half and overtime, put up 61 points, was just unstoppable. Didn't matter what kind of defensive coverage they threw at him, whether it was double teams, whether it was single coverage. It just didn't matter. Slater, I have to ask you, Jokic in terms of like offensive weapons to face and try to tackle throughout a game. One of the best that you've ever seen. Yes. No, maybe so.
Yes. I was also in person for the Steph tonight who would be in that category. Yeah. And he had the only the fifth ever 50, 10, 10, five tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Which is funny because like you said, it's a little overshadowed. What did Jokic was 61 and then what else?
