Mentioned in this video
Jokic in the first half isn't Jokic at full power. It's a deliberate choice.
I've been saying this for a while now. He will not risk foul trouble early. He picks his spots, stays out of harm's way, and lets his teammates find their rhythm. Then when the game is on the line, he flips the switch and fills the box score.
Combo clocked it too. We both saw it coming before it even happened.
This is why you have to watch Jokic across a full 48 minutes before you say anything about his defense. The first half is cruise control. The second half is when the real MVP shows up. #shorts
