Gobert defended Jokic very well. The Gobert-KAT tandem is tough to go through and Minnesota played very good defense, especially on Jokic. As did the Lakers. They DID slow him down. This is what it looks like. When some people played great defense on Shaq (Hakeem for example) it still meant Shaq getting his.

You really crashing out this hard over Mj being defended well by the dpoy? He shot worse with GP as his primary defender. The end.

Ostertag had one good series defensively against Shaq but outside of that Shaq has had huge games against him including the playoffs. He has had 39, 39, 39, 38, 37 point games against him throughout their careers averaging 26ppg in their matchups.

Yeah because his shot was off not because GP was clamping him, as evidenced by game 5. The end.

What's funny is that Jokic abused AD even worse and everyone already forgot

Yeah because his shot was off, right? that's weak af even for an Mj stan. So then I guess all the times he had big games he was just lucky right? Nonsense. His shot was "off" because he had the dpoy on him, this is one of the stupidest excuses I've seen made for him. Right up there with he could shoot 3s he just didn't want to.....

If what you were saying was true, he wouldn’t have shot so efficiently in game 5. Period the end.

So no one's ever had a good game vs elite defense? I mean having one good game sandwiched between. 2 bad ones totally erases the bad ones right? If he only had a single bad game, you could write it off as that and not one would raise an eyebrow. He had 2 out of 3 with a world title on the line after doing significantly better before GP was guarding him. Fairy tales win the day though. Only Mj stans.....

AD did well against Jokic tf u smoking on. He had no help on D compared to what the Wolves got at all positions. They had to take AD off Jokic because of it.

Jokic vs. the Lakers: 28.2 ppg on 59.1%/33.3%/92.6%, 16.2 rpg, 9.8 apg
"AD did great"
Jokic vs. Gobert/KAT: 28.2 ppg on 52.8%/24%/89.2%, 10.2rpg, 8 apg
"DPOY getting torched."
The narrative is hilarious

Lol go rewatch the games bud they are free. Many of the shots he missed weren’t even with GP defending him and even the ones he did miss with GP on him were routine shots he creates enough space to not be bothered and he just misses. If there’s anything GP should be commended for those games it was his ball denial.
