Clippers seem too physical for the Nuggets.

Once again...

A top 10 all time player with 5 MVPs in his prime doesn't lose this series.

Not a chance.


Nobody has 5 MVPs on the nuggets.


According to the majority on realgm, Jokic should have 5 MVP awards.



Why are you so insistent on this goofy narrative?

Jokic is an all time great playing against 2 ATGs in Kawhi and older Harden, his team is much worse as evidenced by their RS performance.

It's very hard to win when your team is worse than the opponent's team.

But of course, you know this and you're just having fun which I respect

Cherry pick Braun.

Clips taking too many threes and playing way too lackadaisical.

Just overall too talented from top to bottom. Things could change if Murray and MPJ should decide to show up, but it has to be at the same time.

So, still manifesting Kessler? Or you gonna switch to Jokic?


Fark no! ... Give me Kessler/Duren any day of the week they're like 23/21 etc younger the better :nod:

They're younger but Jokic is far better and not old.

Simmons won't let Braun get a shot off at the rim.

I wouldn’t be sitting Kawhi this long. Can feel momentum shifting
