You don’t have to say that Nikola Jokic is asked to do a lot. Possibly more than any other player in the NBA. On any night, it must be the top scorer of Denver, rebounder, even facilitator with his aerial game, but the coach could be beyond the pale.
On Monday night it was time for coach Joker to shine. Nuggets needed some to organize them in a critic game against Thunder in a series that could be the NBA final, and it only made sense that Jokic was the guy.
It is a bone less than one month, the Nuggets incredibly fired the chief coach Michael Micone before the playoffs, and while the former assistant David Alderman intervened admirable, sometimes you only need a little experience to call.
This really showed when the game was at stake and Jokic gathered everyone to make the play.

Do you think he called his own number? Or the Jokic course did not. That is not your style. Instead, the play revolved around the ball and take it to Aaron Gordon in the perimeter. Gordon leads Denver in 3p%, and did not disappoint.
Does this mean that Joker should get an increase? It seems that you should get an increase. Or I ate a new title.
