Kenrick Perkins and Nick Wright were among those taken to task.
Big Perk, as he's known, spent around a decade and a half in the league, with his 2003-2011 stint as a member of the Boston Celtics, with whom he won a championship in 2008, by far his most distinguished period.
Another salient truth — Denver hasn't lost at home since the playoffs started — didn't enter into Perkins's analysis, but that's no surprise. He picked Denver to lose to the Los Angeles Lakers, too. Problem is, Jokic keeps proving Wright wrong — and he did so again last night. He eschewed shooting for most of the contest, choosing instead to slice up the Heat's vaunted defense with seeing-eye passes on par with those once hurled by Magic Johnson. He wound up with one of the quietest triple doubles ever — 27 points, ten rebounds and fourteen assists — by consciously putting his teammates in the spotlight.
