Nuggets only down 4 when Joker probably had the worst first quarter for the entire season. Let's go!

Well, we already know where on the scale your bbiq is. But please, its strange that kd, giannis, jokic, embiid and ja somehow have been at best the 2nd best player on the floor when they play mavs in every game this season. And only jokic have a worse cast of those teams. Oh and 1 win off heat that is top of eastern and ahead of bucks 76rs celtics, and u cant say those stars got better supporting casts then mavs, atleast if u listen to espn and such. Which u obviously do, since u think there is mvp votes before u votes for mvp?

But sure. Trade mavs 2-15 to celtics and celtics 2-15 to mavs, and mavs win 70 and tatum probably doesnt make the playin.

Doncic has been better officially than Giannis since last year's playoffs. There is no one in the league that could play that way against the Clippers with so little help. If Kawhi and co. couldn't stop him, than no one can. And that was just about the best possible defense for Doncic. I mean Kawhi just might be the best perimeter defender of all time.

And if you say, yeah but Giannis is 2x DPOY, yeah I've seen him guard Luka tonight. He did one hell of a job. Step back 3 by Luka and also blow by him and then found 2 easy open threes or smth like that. It was like he was guarded by a chair. What does it matter if Giannis is 2x DPOY, if he can't guard him? Or if the entire Bucks defense can't guard him? It was the same action all the time, all day. Doncic screen and then Doncic gets a good shot or his teammates. No other teammates aside Powell involved, and all Powell needed to do was to run to the basket. Unguardable play, and Doncic doesn't need anyone to perfrom this play, only Powell has to do the most basic job.

Even Jokic heavily struggled against Lebron + Davis + Howard liineup in the playoffs and last year he lost against the Suns without a fight. Doncic has so far never failed to deliver. No black spots in his career.

I don’t know…technically he has more championships than the entire Suns franchise so I feel like he can talk a little trash once in a while.

Luka is a great player but you really need to look at plus minus stats as well as the box score when evaluatitng players. Tatum is off the charts good and Doncic is relatively disappointing.

Ok so Luka been better than Giannis since last year… Even the most die hard luka fan hasn’t said that… I can’t and won’t touch that - have a good day..
