No one can guard Jokic.

Celtics will be toast in the finals

Joker has decided to show who the best player in the Wolves/Nuggets series is (let along the best player in the league)

Not over yet. Remember when we went down 2-3 to Milwaukee?

Also, the doomer stuff about a series that hasn't even started yet and may not is so pathetic.

That should mean Edwards should be getting crucified for a 1/8 first half right ? I mean we all know Tatum would be getting absolutely cooked by everyone so I’m presuming Edwards is going to be held to the same standard ?

Dude is only getting double teamed and can’t impact the game, JT gets tripled and impacts the game but talking heads say he needs to score more.

Mavs have the best chance. No one on the Nuggets can stop Luka and Gafford theoretically should be a good matchup.

Hope the Mavs upset Denver, somehow…

The Nuggets are so annoying to watch.

Jesus I want to poke my eyes out.

Fat chubby Peter griffin looking bastard beating up on Gumby on roller skates every time in the post.

The way the Nuggets have come back after being declared fake champs, they don't stand a chance against us if we face in the Finals. They have no idea how many times the Celtics have been declared as pretenders this season!

Orlando wanted 2 1st rnd picks for Gordon.

Ainge was not willing to pay the price, so he opted for Fournier instead.

And Denver got him for 1 protected 1st round pick + players, correct?

Yes.

Ant was so cocky after losing Game 4. :lol:

Best player in the league. Easily.

OnlyTheTruth · Post #172 » by **OnlyTheTruth** » Wed May 15, 2024 5:02 am

Jokic is the best player since LeBron

Triple7 · Post #173 » by **Triple7** » Wed May 15, 2024 5:03 am

Ant is nowhere near MJ. Not even 85-86 MJ. We’ve been fooled haha. He’s still good though.

playa-hater · Post #174 » by **playa-hater** » Wed May 15, 2024 5:05 am

As I stated on the general board.. I will say it here...

I truly believe peak joker is a clear better player than peak Lebron..

Of course. Peak Lebron still chokes, scared to take free throws in crunch time. Lebron in his peak has really no go to move when needed.

Some of us here did not agree with the narrative that Ant is already better than JT because of the small sample size.

Team USA, led by Ant, was a flop in the FIBA World Cup.

Same thing happened in this Game 5, Ant has trouble against double teams.

Even in their last meeting at the Garden, when the Cs doubled Ant, he was not great, to say the least.

KingofTheClay · Post #177 » by **KingofTheClay** » Wed May 15, 2024 5:11 am

We’d be lucky to take the Nuggets to 5.

Jokic is better than Peak Shaq, MJ, Kareem and Lebron combined. He’d beat them 1 on 4

If you stacked all 4 of their Johnsons it still be smaller than Jokics Johnson.

Porzingis can’t get erect ever since Jokic murdered him last two games. Jokic is laughing Porzingis is cowering in fear. He faked the injury to avoid Jokic.

Sucks to be an Ant fan right now.

Especially after all that talk from Ant.

zoyathedestroya · Post #179 » by **zoyathedestroya** » Wed May 15, 2024 5:15 am

Either Nuggets or Wolves (Conley coming back?) would be the 1st relatively healthy team Celtics would meet in this postseason run.

Heat: missing two starters
Cavs: missing two starters
Knicks: missing three starters (my Pacers in 6 prediction not looking good)

Not getting to the Finals with that pupu path would be a disgrace. Yes, even with KP out.

OnlyTheTruth · Post #180 » by **OnlyTheTruth** » Wed May 15, 2024 5:15 am

If we face the Nuggets, what do you think is the best way to defend Nuggets. Double team Jokic every time he touches the ball
