Thanks a lot that made me feel so much better..

In before the role players get blamed again for our failures lol.

Nikola Jokic at his press availability, what a hoot, took a look at his phone and dropped a 'muthaf*kker, I'm turning it off' on live tv lol

He was asked what he so upset about in the huddle when he was so animated and he said in effect (I'm paraphrasing) 'we're shooting 3s and missing let's just get in and get a score, low scoring game, just get a bucket'

Not for a career but for his prime I already have joker in my top 10 all time list..

The way he plays he literally is the same style and cut from the same cloth as Larry Bird..

His IQ and selflessness is just off the Chart.. All while having the ability to take over when it counts..

One reason why I was so sick of hearing how bird wasn't fast. Or couldn't jump high... Like the only thing that matters should be production.. individually and team wise...

It's easier if you have a guy like Jokic.

When the 3s of the Cs are not falling, the Cs don't have a guy like Jokic to score inside over smaller defenders.

He's playoff Jimmy, but he's no finals Jimmy.

Heat window is closed.

As a fan of the NBA congrats to the Nuggets. The handshakes at the end were like they won a preseason game. They don’t know any better. And congrats to the Heat making it this far turning my ahead away from Giannis and Tatum getting hurt. With playoff Jimmy, Kyle Lowery, and Udonis Haslem they’ll be in the hunt again next year. All kidding aside this was the worst final in all of American sports. No way the NBA allows this again. The Bucks, Celtics, 76ers would of made for a better finals. Completely embarrassing

What makes you think the Celtics with their poor shooting would fare any better? Blind hope?

I think The Joker is the best player in the world right now and deserves a ton of credit... But the truth is everyone on that team plays for each other they pass cut and move like they all believe they can get the ball..

I always felt with Tatum and Brown it was your turn My turn type of basketball..

Tatum is learning and becoming a much better facilitator but after 7 years I see 0 improvements with Brown in that regard..

There's still room to grow. They can get a true 4, and hope Tyler Herro continues to improve. And unlike Brad, they've been keeping their FRPs. They get another one this year (#18), and you've got guys like Highsmith, Jovic, and Yurtseven that could be contributors next year.

But Jimmy will be 34 when next season starts.

And Lowry has nothing left in the tank.

If Butler and Lowry were younger then it's a different story.
