Rajon Rondo on How to Slow Down "The Joker"
Спорт
Rajon Rondo sits down with Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson on All The Smoke Podcast & gives insight/advice on how he would slow down 2X MVP Nikola "The Joker" Jokic if he was an NBA coach. He speaks on how the Minnesota Timberwolves probably have the best duo ( Karl Anthony-Towns & Rudy Gobert ) of bigs to slow him down.

the problem is there aren't enough offense minded bigs in the league to where he doesn't have to do much on defense ......u gotta beat him up when your on offense..... thats why it woulda been hard for him to try and check shaq, olajuwon, ewing, Robinson and all of them back in the day. there's only about 3 centers to worry about nowadays

Yeah but it starts with having someone who can decently single cover him. He won't pass as much if you can guard him 1 on 1. That said, JJ Redick was talking about it on his podcast and the Nuggets are a team that really doesn't want to shoot a lot of 3s. They're efficient but they're like bottom five in the league in attempts. I think he said they're like 2-4 when they attempt a high amount (can't remember the number of attempts) from 3. So I think the strategy is to just trap him every time and hope the Nuggets miss - especially in a 7 game series. The team is bound to go cold from behind the arc at times.

The Lakers in the Bubble beat a 2 time all star Jokic, not a 2 time MVP Jokic. And the reason why that version of Jokic struggled was because refs were calling ticky tac falls on him that limited his time on the floor. Jokic was a 20 PPG scorer in 2020 and had not mastered the playmaking game. He can average 30 ppg in his sleep from 2022-23. And even 10 assists. That's the main difference. In 2020 the Lakers had to scout for a 20 pts, 10 reb, 7 assisy guy ( similar to Sabonis now or a bit less dominant due to lower conditioning). It is like scouting for Steph Curry in 2013 (pre mvps and superstardom) and in 2017, two worlds apart or Kawhi Leonard in 2014 Vs his prime.

They say T-Wolves have the best chance currently, yet they were 1 missed free throw away from being swept last year. That bubble Lakers team gets way too much credit for beating Jokic. That was only the second trip to the playoffs for this Nuggets core, and they were coming off 2 series that were 7 game wars with historic back-to-back 3-1 comebacks yet had only 1 days rest before having to face the Lakers right away(NBA had a rushed schedule because they wanted to finish before the Olympics started, which ended up being cancelled anyway). The Lakers were full of old and injury prone players that likely wouldn't all be healthy after a full season during a regular year, but they got 4 months of rest and recovery that they normally wouldn't have. Even then, they needed Dwight and Javale to act as goons whose sole job was to double Jokic the entire time and get as physical as they wanted, plus AD and Lebron still constantly stepped in to triple team as much as possible.
Who watching this after Twolves Playoff Wins?

That 2020 Lakers squad was highkey a superteam smh. You got AD, Lebron, Dwight, Rondo, and KCP. With a stacked bench with Caruso, McGee, Kuzma, and Danny Green. They even have guys like Morris, Waiters, and Bradley who they didn’t really need to use that much. Their team didn’t have any weaknesses in all 5 positions.

Damn right.
One of the absolute worst decisions the lakers ever made was completely blowing up the team right after they won a championship, especially under those conditions in 2020. I would never understand it till this day. I understand a few tweaks here and there with one or two players, but a complete blow up was just plain dumb, made no sense, and oh my God don’t even let me get started with that idiotic team assemble of 2021… that’s a memory I want to permanently forget. McGee and Dwight helped that team tremendously at the center, now they’ve been riding AD hard ever since even though he is not a true center and not built for it. Yes AD is now more of a consistent force on defense the last couple seasons, but at what cost? He clearly needs help and ever since 2020, he has never gotten the kind of help he needs on 5 so he can play more 4, even though he has been so vocal about it. I was actually surprised that he re-signed with the lakers, I know the money was a factor, and he probably there for Bron as well. It’s just ridiculous the decisions the Lakers have made in the past few years.
Does Rondo have his own KZread channel? I’ll love to hear is intake & analysis on teams and players
Easiest way to be denver is make jokic a scorer. Plan and simple. They got to many people that can get buckets. I rather him 50-60 and shut everyone else down. Than him 20-25 points 15 rebounds 15 assist. Now he going and got everybody else going.

He's right. Not just the right bigs to match up to him but it's the switch after the PnR, whether the defender is able to guard whoever is switched on. If you get Davis on Murray he'll still have tough time guarding him. Even though Celtics lost both games (close games) to them in regular season, if they stay healthy till then, Celtics will be the best built to give them trouble.
I would love for Rondo to have a shot at coaching, probably starting as an Assistant.

Again this is the biggest cap, It was a combination of Howard, Mcgee and AD that slowed Jokic down, Y’all Dwight fans need to get off his stick with that😂
Please, Rondo should be a coach in this league ❤❤❤❤
The Lakers used to have Jokic's passing tendencies fairly well figured out. I remember seeing the Lakes intercept and tip a lot of his potential dimes in 2020 & 2021. Jokic's must have changed up his passing because he picks the Lakers apart on the regular now- especially in the clutch. I wonder if the Lakers have 1 or 2 assistant coaches who are trying to figure out his new tendencies.

Well the 2020 Lakers had Jason Kidd and Rondo. Both them alone is an advantage
If y’all watch the Nuggets this season, y’all already know the team that Jokic has a hard time playing against. It’s not the Thunder. Jokic eats Holmgren alive. Not the Wolves. Jokic owns Gobert. Not the Lakers. Jokic always gets his way with AD. Not the Clippers. Zubac can’t contain Jokic. It’s not the Pelicans. Jokic is Valaciunas’ father. It’s not the Kings. Sabonis is too small. And it’s not the Warriors. Jokic owns Draymond. It’s the Phoenix Suns. The combined effort of Nurkic and Eubanks makes Jokic uncomfortable just enough to let KD, Booker, and Beal to lead the way to a W.

Jokic have dropped 35 ppg against Nurkic goofy face the last time they met in the play off;s. When play off's starts Jokic is the different player, his stats goes up. Nurkic will be stomped again if Denver plays Suns in the play off's. Rondo is a moron , he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Wow! You just hit the nail on the head! He's to big, too tall and non athletic but he sees the court well! You definitely need at least 2 big to wear him down.😂😂

Pfft 🤣🤣🤣 clippers fans really forget about what denver did to them in the playoff in the past few years .. did zubac and plumlee really has any chance in the playoff vs joker who was not the same guy from 2020 when you guys blow the lead. Well, good luck with that tho, i will pretty happy if we having you guys in the Western conference finals .. looking at the guys history 😌
Man Rondo should be coaching
Easier said than done. This is a highly skilled individual who understands what you are trying to do to neutralize him. And if you take him away his teammates will make you pay. Pick your poison.
You CAN'T!
He ain't wrong though. It has been proven to slow Jokic down. But its also been proven that slowing him down doesn't necessarily means win. I still believe that to beat Jokic down is by distracting him from BBall. Give him new horses right before playoff. It will split his mind elsewhere.

@@pabl0sauced0 agree w you. I think probably Rondo is right. Run 2 athletic physical bigs against joker with each getting half the minutes so you can try to wear him down without either one fouling out. Try to frustrate him. But if you double team JM and or MPJ joker will kill you by scoring or getting the ball to the open man for dunks and layups
i remember dwight checking into a game that series and Dwight immediately has his shoulder pressed on Joker's ribs and Jokic looked so annoyed lol
UNGUARDABLE! Can't fix stupid! 🎉
Wemby played amazing defense on him and he scored 40+ points.

There’s no slowing down Jokic. Best bet is to stay focused on everyone else and make Jokic beat you. You have a better chance of slowing down Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon.

Rondo is a dumb thug, he was overrated as a player too.
Had to come back here now when Jokic had 41 pts and 16/20 shooting against Gobert and the wolves.
Big fan of rondo
Rondo stop the cap Refs were killing the joker in your series
My favorite point guard
way to answer the question. i would run a type of 1-3-1 zone with my big in the middle on joke. force him to shoot threes and take everyone else’s away. i don’t need a run protector cus im tryna give up twos without fouling. then we gotta beat em on offense, make him run and figure out how to expose him on the other end.

Bro just said, "I would watch some tape, and figure it out".
Always joy to listen Chris Paul
Bro, people act like there’s an answer for this guy. There isn’t. He’s basically Magic or Bird playing with modern spacing. There isn’t anything you can really do to him to take him out of his offense. You can maybe try to put him through his paces on the other end, but he’s gotten pretty good on defense too, and the Nuggets have a really good defense as a team with him on the floor. Also, I don’t wanna hear about how he isn’t athletic because he isn’t a high flyer. He has one of the quickest second jumps in the NBA.
Rondo is professor of the Game, that's what I said about joker slow his behind down put big guys on him.
Do analysis on the two time mvp theoughout the year. Wow, Rondo really is a genius, who would have thought to do that?? Megabrain right there.
Joker was good back then almost as he is right now, he just had trash teammates back then, plus the refs helped Lakers so much. They literally took out Joker by fouls and didn't call anything on Howard
Rondo not lying
