Re: 2022-23 NBA Season Discussion
The problem with posting up Jokic is the Nuggets - quite frankly the current league - lacks adequate post-entry passing. AG and MPJ literally lack NBA-level passing skills of any kind. I understand Joker has some of that Barkley in him where he can initiate his own post-up opportunity using his own ball-handling, but that takes more time and isn’t ideal. It makes Joker expend more energy and gives the Heat an opportunity to send different help variants. If you want to better utilize a guy in post, historically you take the ball out of his hands and let him get behind the defense. Make things easy for him.
That’s another thing that makes Joker impressive. He plays with a solid amount of one-dimensional dorks who barely optimize his scoring, yet he still does the things he does.

But beyond all that, as I keep saying, Denver doesn’t need to worry about their offense, because Miami hasn’t done a thing to slow Denver down. Miami put up a 127 oRTG in Game 2. That is where the actual adjustment has to come.

Zion’s an incoming 30/30. Dude clearly has a problem with self discipline. Consistently overweight, doesn’t want to play, and impregnating a pornstar. It sucks but seems like a dude that won’t get serious until it’s too late and he’s broke and old. Like watching a car crashing in slow motion

Wow. Wonder who all is interested? If CP3 wants to contend for a title, I feel as if it is high time for him to come off of the bench - regardless of where.

I imagine CP3 will have plenty of options if he's chasing a ring, and most everybody should be happy to have him at minimum/TPMLE money.

I’m pretty sure Haynes and Cp3 have direct lines to each other so it’s a leverage thing

Great dunk from AG as I type this, but Nuggets need more from the non Murray/Jokic players. Heat need to force the issue more and use Bam as a connector. Game seems pretty low scoring right now, but I don’t think it’s bad offense on film at all. Seems to be lower pace rather?

Re: 2022-23 NBA Season Discussion
As Denver is up 16 with 2 to go in Q3, they have won the rebounding battle 43-24 and paint scoring battle 44-22. More than a vastly better process, their size is overwhelming Miami right now. Love has played 16 minutes as well. I wonder what Spo and co could do about this.

One of the worst series ever. Celtics oughta be ashamed of themselves. You have Heat trying to make Bam the first option. CRAZY

Re: 2022-23 NBA Season Discussion
Braun having success in this series after being played off the court by LA feels like some sort of indicator for Denver.

Holy crap is Braun impressive. Jimmy tried to go at him again and again and got completely stonewalled. Elite defender.
