Denver was winning with a gimmick defense m. Once Ant figured it out, it was over.
Jokic letting put back dunks, providing no resistance on defense…it highlighted all his flaws.

Idk. Similar to my lack of confidence in the Bucks I wouldnt have that much confidence in the Nuggets FO to not waste their elite players prime. Like the Bucks did with Middleton, Denver has rolled the dice and wasted some of Jokic’s prime already by going with Murray who is inconsistent or injury prone. The Spurs knew how to build a roster from top to bottom

Jokic managed to carry Tobias Harris who can't defend but hit an open 3 to a title as the third star. Nobody else could do that. Still the best player in the league

Of course you would say this, despite how he actually played and the way this game actually unfolded. Remarkable.
Let's put it this way, if it were Embiid, would you be defending him if he had the exact same stats?
If he'd played well throughout and the game was largely lost by his teammates, then yes.

Duncan met or exceeded expectations every year of his prime (from 98 to 07). Jokic has not. This was a big fail.

Ant didn’t figure anything out. KAT dominated and won this game for Minny. Firmly above Embiid in the big man ranking now.

He played well, but his poor shooting shows that he wasn't all there.
I'd say it's probably more a combination of his teammates than him for why they lost obviously, but the internet annointing someone the next GOAT with only 1 chip, and 3 MVPS, where 2 wee heavily contested was just gross.

The Wolves likely would have won last year as well if McDaniels wasn't hurt.
Bro I feel like this is a bigger moment for you than if Bid won a title lol
Not really, just will be glad to see all these threads about him being the GOAT finally die. You can't lost a game 7 up 20, and have that on your resume.
I'm just excited that the Sixers have some assetts this summer to put an actual team around Embiid. Nuggets will need to decide what to do with Murray/MPJ because theyr'e in trouble.
Who said Jokic is the “goat” lol? Best player in the league? Yea! But nobody was seriously saying he is the greatest.

Jokic won with Jamal Murray.
This might be a crazy take but I’m sure he could win with Kobe too.

There is a thread that says he;s the best since MJ and on goat trajectory.

Whoever told you that had some major Murray stock to sell. Don’t believe everything you read.

Idk. Similar to my lack of confidence in the Bucks I wouldnt have that much confidence in the Nuggets FO to not waste their elite players prime. Like the Bucks did with Middleton, Denver has rolled the dice and wasted some of Jokic’s prime already by going with Murray who is inconsistent or injury prone.

i mean idk if the Spurs thought Tony Parker and Ginobili were going to be HOFs when they selected them late in their draft rounds.

Partial picture. He was 11/18 inside the arc, 6/7 at the line, and had 19 rebounds (6 of them on the offensive glass). AND he was defending well.
I'd say it's probably more a combination of his teammates than him for why they lost obviously, but the internet annointing someone the next GOAT with only 1 chip, and 3 MVPS, where 2 wee heavily contested was just gross.
No it wasn't, you're just bitter that Embiid has a lot of haters due to his availability issues.

He's great, it's just the talk of putting him up there along with MJ is dumb. He's probably on pace to be in the top 10 all time discussion though.

I can be bitter about that, and it can still be true that he is not on a goat trajectory. Have the discussion when he has about 4 Chips, not one.
