I honestly can’t believe what I’m watching here. Jokic has been absolutely insane.
So have the rest of the Nuggets, but in the worst way possible. – 9:18 PM

Nikola Jokic just hit a 3-pointer for a new career-high 52 points. He’s made 21 of 34 shots, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range. He’s also got 14 rebounds and eight assists. Nuggets down 9 in the middle of the fourth. – 9:11 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
I don’t understand how the rest of the Nuggets can look Jokic in the eye after an effort like this. Some people are trying to get fired on this road trip. – 9:02 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The nuggets are minus 7 in the fourth quarter with Jokic on the bench in 2 minutes…..
This is the most demoralizing shit I’ve ever seen – 8:59 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Dawg. The lead is back to 9 in A MINUTE

Halftime Rotations for the Nuggets as they trail the WASHINGTON WIZARDS 69-57.
Jokic is doing what he can. He’s the only one having a good game. Everyone else looks like they thought they could take the day off.
Just ridiculous. pic.x.com/gnRbIIvJ7P – 8:10 PM

#Cavs beat the Nuggets 126-114. A really impressive victory for Cleveland. They had four players score 20 points, led by Donovan Mitchell with 28 on the night. This game is further proof this Cavs team is for real. -via x.com / December 5, 2024
George Karl: The Nuggets have been MORE reliant on Joker the past five years than the Bulls EVER were on Jordan. Jokic is the primary rebounder, passer, playmaker and leader every game! -via x.com / December 5, 2024
