<p>It’s clear that Jokic is paving the way and setting the standard for the modern big. For better or worse. He may not be a good defender but he can stretch the floor as a point-five <strong>and do things no other center has ever done in the NBA.</strong></p>

<p></p>
<p>Then again, he’s going to have his most difficult task thus far in the playoffs when he faces off against Davis. He already got past a defensive standout like <strong>Rudy Gobert </strong>but AnthonyDavis will also give him a handful as a scorer and wear him out as much as he can.</p>

Anthony Davis reacts to stellar matchup vs. Nikola Jokic - Bolavip US

<p>The Western Conference Semifinals of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> playoffs have been as exciting as it gets. Contrary to what most people believed, the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/denver-nuggets-t100211" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Denver Nuggets</strong> </a>are giving the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Clippers </strong></a>a run for their money, with All-Star big man <strong>Nikola Jokic</strong>performing at a superlative level.</p>
<p>Jokic got going early in Game 3 and finished with 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 dimes on the losing effort. Moreover,<strong> he was all over Clippers’ big man Ivica Zubac</strong> and managed to foul him outin just 21 minutes.</p>
<p>However, Clippers’ stars <strong>Patrick Beverley and Paul George </strong>didn’t think that theSerbiancenter should have picked up that many foulsand that Jokic just put a lot of pressure on the referees with his ‘flailing’,<strong> which is the same thing Luka Doncic does.</strong></p>
