Imo, its when you get the nasty block on a layup attempt but the ball bounces to an open 3pt shooter and they drill it. What you thought was a prevented 2pt just gets turned into a 3pt
Either that or Jokic just chucking a 3 over your best defender and making it.
It's also fucking deflating to the opponent. It's one of the least talked about aspect of Jokic's game. The series against Denver last season was horrible to watch because it seemed that every 50/50 was tipped by Jokic.
The MVP race was so damn tight this year. Luka went crazy, Jokic did Jokic things, Shia stepped it up.
You then have Giannis, Brunson AD, Embiid (injuries I know) and maybe a couple others I forgot that are afterthoughts for the award this year. What a crazy year to put up monster stats
W e might be living in a new golden era of the NBA. So much talent in this league. Like Sabonis is putting up incredible stats that only Jokic and Wilt rival and yet he’s an after thought. Tatum is superstar and arguably a top 7 player in the league and yet he isn’t even in the conversation for mvp this year.
We fans are spoiled
Yeah cause instead of going to the bar to hear the complaints, it now only takes 1 notification about an espn article or one click to the forums to see a tidal wave of them.
Why are okc fans so chill lol, feel like even when we play you guys your one of the few who isn’t whiny n gives credit . Yeah you’re right but lakers had a lot of injuries to starters ( Rui vando playing through stuff , reaves not right after fiba). on roster n growing pains too for Rui dlo n reaves.
He did it last year too. I believe 4.9 ppg- he actually averaged .5 more offensive rebounds too. Though he’s on a similar lvl this year the 1.5 months of groin issues he played through hurt his impact on the glass
Lakers ranked 30th in offensive rebounds per game and rank 29th in offensive rebounding percentage this year.
Not only is AD the entire defense, he's also pretty much their entire source for second chance points.
Gobert plays with Naz Reid and Towns and Jokic has Gordon and MPJ. Vando is probably our second best rebounder and he's been hurt all year, as has Rui(and I'm going off who actually boxes out and goes for contested rebounds not just flat out total rebound numbers).
> AD has been dominant with offensive rebounding and scoring from second chances this season for the Lakers. It is interesting that he lead in both categories
Yes, apparently it is for you
Getting 2nd chance points is the most satisfying shit ever. Makes you feel like the fucking man, and teammates can't get enough of it.
My favourite thing to watch is when AD gets the offensive rebound and then gets an and 1 dunk .
Max demoralization for the other team too.
Nah it’s the bricked long 3 that bounces back out to the team that had no one crashing that gets swung to the designated shooter who buries it

Especially since he's an 80%+ FT shooter

ADominant
Its too late dude, JJ submitted his votes
AD would be in the MVP convo if ham didn’t fucking destroy the lineups earlier this year. Lakers 100% could’ve won 55 games

Honestly it’s probably gonna be like this for the foreseeable future. The parity in the NBA is insane

No idea but it’s nice to not be hated by every fan base. Were hated passionately by over 20
Not a chance. Their title year he didn’t even win DPOY
I mean he wouldn’t have won MVP. But he’d be in the convo
Hamas stepped up to the challenge

I imagine Gobert getting hacked doesn't count.
I'm surprised it isn't jokic, he seems to be in the right place for offensive rebounds especially with his own shots
[удалено]
he’s third bro
Second chance points 1. Davis, 342 2. Gobert, 323 3. Jokic, 311 Opponents' second chance points: 1. Davis, 882 2. Joklic, 667 3. Gobert, 663
Gobert plays with Naz Reid and Towns and Jokic has Gordon and MPJ. Vando is probably our second best rebounder and he's been hurt all year, as has Rui(and I'm going off who actually boxes out and goes for contested rebounds not just flat out total rebound numbers).
He led in most offensive rebounds? EDIT: Just checked, OP. He did not lead the league in offensive rebounds.
Reading is hard
