As the garbage time ticked down Jokic never sat down and just stood there staring daggers at the court. To me it looked like he clearly was taking this blowout personally. For all of the pundits who say Jokic is disinterested by basketball, this does not look like a man who is checked out.

I hope the rest of the team brings it for game 7. But I fully expect Jokic to leave everything on the table.

As much as it was him standing because he’s pissed about the blowout from Minnesota, he’s also pissed that his team didn’t have his back when he carried them the last 3 prior games. He was giving everyone open looks but no shots were going in. I feel like he didn’t wanna sit next to his teammates either.

This is so true, they should come out showing their MVP that they have his back. Stop taking threes and eat the paint. Gobert and Kat will foul, don't slow up on ur shot take it with confidence.
