Nikola Jokić’s 55-Point Masterpiece: Is This the Most Unbelievable Season in NBA History?
With Jokić at the controls of this screen/cut/movement-heavy attack, and with Denver’s guards and wings eagerly feasting on the scoring chances they get just by playing opportunistically off the attention Jokić demands, the scoring efficiency is through the roof for a Nuggets offense that ranks No. 1 in the NBA, according to Cleaning the Glass. They’re scoring an obscene 131.3 points per 100 non-garbage-time possessions with the big fella on the floor — miles and miles above what the best offenses of all time have produced — and it feels like they haven’t even totally gotten going yet. Christian Braun and newcomer Cam Johnson are both shooting 21% from 3-point range; expect those numbers to go up if they keep getting a steady diet of these sorts of looks.
