Your distaste for Big Sawfty(tm) is so great that you can't even list Jokic's crapty line next to his real opponent (Knicks)? Vucci Mane had it put on him by the Zinger and the Celtics last night, not Jokic!

Been awhile...

Pretty dope Jokic and Sabonis teamed up vs the Pels. No wonder the Kings struggled against the Magic, they had Domas out on loan
