Why do you say that out of curiosity? I hear it said a lot. Just the way he acts on the court? He doesn't bother me for some reason

He talks a lot for a player who hasn't really accomplished as much as he thinks he has. Great talent, but doesn't have much to show for it. He and Morant are in the same category for me, they act like they've "arrived", and they haven't really backed it up when it matters most.

Durant gonna make his stats look OK scoring most of his numbers down 20+ when he didn't show up while it was a close game. Empty stats

KD looks awful like he's still hurt

At home…

Monty’s gone probably.

Denver was awful for large periods of that quarter and still only got outscored by three.

It is going to be tough for Curry to play game one in high attitude against a rested Denver team when he has no rest.

That's fair. I do think he has accomplished a lot though. I hate random dudes also so believe me...not judging

How good is Murray, Gordon, Porter? They seem to get so many easy baskets from Jokic's passing. No doubt they are good at shooting and/or cutting and better than bad players, but their advanced stats are definitely inflated from all the layups, dunks, and wide open shots they are given that they wouldn't have if it wasn't for the GOAT playmaker.

How happy is Ayton seeing his team lose right now on a scale of 1-10?

The key is for Looney or Draymond to take out Jokic, or Wiggins/Steph to attack Jokic on defense to wear him out.
