1. A few weeks ago I highlighted how PJ Dozier got an earful from Nikola Jokic when he wasn’t recognizing a specific cut that Jokic wants from whoever is playing the dunker spot (the spot just outside the paint along the baseline). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn_NREbLj2o On Sunday, Dozier made the appropriate cut without hesitation in one of the highlight plays from the…...

1. The thing about Nikola Jokic’s passing is that it isn’t just his touch or vision that make him such an elite facilitator, it’s his ability to bend the court exactly the way he wants to create passing angles or open up opportunities for easy buckets.
