In Saturday’s game against the Suns, Jokic posted one of only two 30 point or more “perfect triple doubles” in NBA history. If the Pelicans get that type of production from Davis every night and 75 percent of what Mirotic gave them, they are going to be a serious problem for the rest of the league this season.Īnother good is Nikola Jokic (big week for the Nikolas). They followed up this dominant performance by absolutely manhandling the Kings 149-129, thanks to great performances from Davis and Mirotic again. Anthony Davis looked like the leviathan freak we all knew he could become, posting a stat-line of 32-16-8-3-3 (p.t.s., rebounds, assists, blocks, steals), and he was helped along with now beardless Nikola Mirotic filling it up for 30-10-3. They beat the Houston Rockets, who were arguably the second best team in the league last year, by 19 points - a score that really does not give this beatdown credit.

This is of course a shout out to the classic Clint Eastwood film: “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.”īut don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say being petty is equivalent to being ugly. This column for the rest of the NBA season will keep you updated with the Good, the Bad, and the Petty of the NBA season. By petty I mean excessive sub-tweeting, passive aggressive Instagram post-liking, and just doing Joel Embiid things. The NBA is like other sports in a lot of ways, but very different in one: the NBA is the pettiest league that has been or ever will be.
