Jackson would be great for a multitude of trollish reasons, but a Van Gundy Bro tandem game calling has always been something I've wanted to see.
By reilo Go To PostDidn't they fire Fizdale because he was running his players into the ground? And their follow-ups are Thibs, JVG, and Mark Jackson?They fired fiz for being objectively terrible tbf
If he was dumb on game day, he must've been so much worse at practice

It would be something to behold. Even if just for a game. I would want them to call a Lakers game too. The hate would reach singularity levels.
Q:

A: he fat
Jokic's combination of passive play and indifferent body language has left observers around the league baffled -- and his coach searching for answers. And it has the Denver Nuggets fifth in the Western Conference, at 14-8, after they were the second seed last season.
"I think he's going through a tough stretch, I really do, and I think this is the first time where I've seen him go through this," Nuggets coach Mike Malone said. "I think sometimes I'm a little overly defensive of him, because not a lot of guys can average [16 points], 10 [rebounds] and six [assists] ... and everybody is saying, 'What the hell is wrong with Nikola?'"
When that exact question is posed to Jokic, he merely shrugs.
"I don't know," he said. "I'm averaging 16, 10 and six. I think that's pretty good, to be honest."
Whatever the reasons, one thing is clear: Jokic is less active and involved this season. His stats are down virtually across the board even though he's averaging almost the same minutes -- his only stat that's on the rise is his 3-point shooting attempts, and he's shooting them at a career-low 22.9% accuracy.
And the advanced statistics, which have in the past painted a positive picture of Jokic's talents, only amplify his drop-off. His usage rate is down significantly, as are his assist, steal, block, offensive rebound, overall rebound and free throw rates.
So what's going on? The 7-footer's conditioning has been questioned -- and at 284 pounds, he's listed as the heaviest player who has played in a game this season.

Their win % is pretty much the same as last year. They weren't the second best team in the conference then either.
"I think sometimes I'm a little overly defensive of him, because not a lot of guys can average [16 points], 10 [rebounds] and six [assists] ... and everybody is saying, 'What the hell is wrong with Nikola?'"
"I don't know," he said. "I'm averaging 16, 10 and six. I think that's pretty good, to be honest."
Weren't Jokic and Malone campaigning for MVP last year? To go from "he's arguably better than Giannis and Harden" to "he's pretty content putting up washed Blake Griffin numbers" is quite the turnaround.
And probably sensitive, so they don't want to just show up at his locker one day with a 6 pack of Ensures and a personal trainer. Better to have the intervention now while he still has knees and a functioning heart.
16/10 is what Nurkic put up in 27MPG with worlds better defense than Jokic is capable of, so it's quite funny for them to be making that argument today.

Embiid doesn't have a back to the basket game, no jump hook at all. Can't work out with Drew Hanlen if you're a 7 footer.

Asshole in me thinks they should just hire Thibs, Jackson and Van Gundy and make a reality show of it. Fuckin franchise is a joke anyway but I'd tune in.

I don't understand the incentive to take the job this year when the ownership somehow expects a 35-40 win team with this roster. There is a reality disconnect that can't be fixed by trying harder or running different sets.
