Bogdan Bogdanovic: 'Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray are the best duo in the league'
Jamal Murray also made a good contribution, scoring 16 points in restricted minutes, and Bogdanovic believes there’s no better duo than the Serbian-Canadian pair of the Nuggets. “He’s a tremendous player. Him and Jokic are the best duo in the league and it’s tough to guard them,” Bogdanovic said. “When Jokic needs to find a guy to score, he’s got Murray, and that’s basically it.”

Julian Strawther’s shot has been inconsistent this season, but I’m still really bullish on his future. I’m buying him as a legit shooter next season and his skill-set is a perfect fit in a Jokic Ball offense. – 1:49 AM

Alright, pretty solid start for both teams offensively. The Hawks are getting downhill in the pick and roll with a spread floor and Capela in the middle.
Jamal Murray looks solid athletically. Not spectacular, but he’s digging down defensively and moving well out there. – 9:20 PM

BasketNews: Bogdan Bogdanovic and head coach Quin Snyder got into a heated exchange on the bench 👀 -via Twitter @BasketNews_com / April 2, 2024
The Hawks’ wing has increased his shooting volume this season, averaging a career-high 8.2 attempts per game. But he’s continued to shoot efficiently, making 37.6% of his shots from deep. He knocked down five of his nine 3-point attempts, three of which came in the Hawks’ late-game push. Bogdanovic scored 17 points in the fourth quarter, ending the night with 38 points, two points shy of his career-high. He also grabbed a career-best 10 rebounds. “I don’t know how many missed layups we had and floaters and stuff like that,” Bogdanovic said. “It’s definitely something you need to adjust to in the flow of the game. But that’s what I do. That’s what I do every night.” -via Atlanta Journal-Constitution / March 31, 2024
But Caldwell-Pope was the Nuggets guard who truly shined on a night when Nikola Jokic casually added a 19-point, 14-rebound, 11-assist triple-double (including another full-court outlet pass to Holiday, who gestured “touchdown” with his arms after an easy layup). Caldwell-Pope was 9 for 12 from the field and 6 for 9 from beyond the arc. He scored all his points by the end of the third quarter. He contributed two steals at the defensive end. “He’s shooting well. We’re finding him,” Murray said. “He’s shooting with confidence. He had a little slump — I don’t want to say slump — but he wasn’t shooting the way he shoots for a couple games, and I think everybody in the world goes through that. I think he found it the last couple games, and he’s just been shooting into a big basket ever since then.” -via Denver Post / April 7, 2024
ClutchPoints: Russell Westbrook was asked about fellow triple-double monster Nikola Jokic: “Well listen, ain’t nobody like me. Ain’t nobody like me. We’re gonna stop that right there. Nobody like me. Nikola is a hell of a player, but he’s not me, I’m not him. Obviously, he’s won MVP, a tough guard, excellent passer, knows how to play the right way, competes hard. Tonight we got the best of him.” pic.twitter.com/uTOn3SyQcO -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / April 5, 2024
