Nikola Jokić Passes, But They Keep Getting More Ridiculous

Misses second one, no good, and Caldwell-Polk comes away. Back door, Caldwell-Polk layup, this time he bags it in and a foul! And the Nuggets have their first lead of the game. And just an all-around struggle again for the Lakers, and I hate to keep harping on it, but I'm gonna harp. This team, jeez. State, and they'll lead them here in the Conference Finals. Miyoka spins, finds Caldwell-Polk cutting. Drive. Careful now, five to shoot, back cut! Murray lays it in! Jokers got eyes in the back of his head! No struggle, Humphreys around, everybody missed it. Here comes Jokic. Jokic, dump it, Harris, yes! It's an air ball. Morita has it poked out, Jokic has it, behind the back. Disgraceous. He's got some stuff, folks. Jokic will shoot, no, he'll give it to Gallinari, and a brilliant pass! Nikola Jokic has his 11th double-double in the last 12 games. Underneath the ground, single! He's 0-for-6 from the field, he has only those two free throws. Joker looked away, and... Look at that pass. Oh, man, kicks it out in a three for Barton. What a no-look touch pass by Jokic, man. Jackson is there behind the back, Jokic thinking three. Oh, what a pass. Good feed inside, and he finds the cutting Gordon for two. How about last night in the NBA, what a one. Oh, beautiful, but high in the back, pass up, a hop from Millsap. The offensive player. Barton, no, Jokic paddling, what a battle. Jokic, no, look, my goodness, what a dish. Third rebound for Blue Arrow, over the top. Nelson letting it fly. Looked on target, it was way short. The lob upstairs to Fareed. Side steps for three, no, he missed it. Jokic, long pass, Harris has it. Can the Nuggets get a stop? Porter, Jr., that's off, Jokic has it. Baseball pass, Porter's out there, and he puts it away. Leaked out of the shot challenge. A floppy floater, flew out of bounds. Water polo pass, Beasley, score. Wow, how about that for your tenth assist? Speaking of confidence, Ingles had that rim halfway down and out. The long pass complete to Grant, touchdown Denver. Jokic, it's going long. He does, Murray's shot, good as it goes. That one year, Scott, when you shot 100%. Look at this. Long lead, Dozier, yes. They're getting after every loose ball. Jokic, oh, behind the head, no look pass. Over the shoulder. Jokic going to go to work these doubles. Behind the back. His down here is going to be, what can he do there? Come on now. Joker, over the shoulder to Will to throw. Boudier in the lane to Jokic. Picks it back. Oh, a no look from Jokic. Nuggets have three already. Harris, Jokic at bark. Here comes Jokic. Got some cutters. And Chandler. A situation where you stop making shots, that's when teams turn. Another no-look dime. Jokic to Gordon. Give it to Jokic. Deoff just shot that ball with a lot of confidence. You can tell by his body language. Oh, Jokic. And pass from Morris. Can't be stars without space to do their thing. Oh, what a touch pass. What's up? There's that zone again. Jokic volleyballs it to Nagy. Nice tip there. Oh, nice pass by the Joker. For him. Double figures in 11 of 12. Volleyball out. Barton for three. Yes. You got the thunder on this possession. Jokic backs him down. Gordon underneath. Slams it down. Somehow found some space. Return to base. Jokic underneath the corner. Puts it in there. Another rebound. Jokic has a double-double. He's 18th. Oh, what a pass to KCP. A slider from midcourt. Way off the mark and Jokic has it. So, Minnesota passed. Oh, what a pass. Thread the needle, baby. Nikola Jokic. Tobias Harris. Nice. Shot in the paint. Good look. Wouldn't go. Jokic leading the break. Look at this guy. Oh, what a pass. And Green throws it down. Sacramento trying to drive in. There's Jokic. That man again. Jokic with the block shot. Oh, that's by Jokic. Nuggets come away. They get a long pass to Jokic. Behind the back to Porter. Nicely done. Great save by Jokic. Maybe that'll get him. Powering it up. No. Jokic has it. There's a reset on the 20. Oh, behind the back. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness. Lyle scores. Pass to Jokic. Collects it behind the back. The Denver team that has made the playoffs three straight years. Just been completely destroyed by injuries, though. Some of the big names. Follicly superior. Halfway through our first quarter. Jokic, how did he get that pass through there? Oh, man. At 22 games now where he's been in double figures. Good player. Jokic coming in. Over the shoulder to Gorton. What a beauty. Looking forward to the playoffs possibly and possibly playing against the Warriors in the first round. Oh, great pass by Jokic. Let me tell you something. I like this guy right here. He's a true big man, baby. Oh, good screen by Jokic. Just buried, that is. Behind the back to Chandler. It was actually over the head to Chandler. And a score. 9-3 at home. Oh, look at that pass. You just see there. Goodness.
