Tatum a team leading -18 due to his chucking. Tough game. If his MVP bid wasn't dead yet (it was to anyone objective), it is now.

They're now going to try to shoehorn Embiid and Giannis into the debate with the most clear MVP since 2016 Curry in Jokic.

JFC man, I usually take this stuff in stride but that had to be our worst loss of the season. Very grumpy lol.

Congrats Nets fans good win.

Worst game of the season for the Celtics. We had them dead to rights. Need to be better

Bad loss for the Celtics after building a 28 point lead. Great win for the Nets!

What's the over-under until Jokic fouls "The DPOY JJJ" out of this game?

Hint: JJJ is not the DPOY. He can't stay on the court when he plays (fouls in the block are terrible for your team although they don't go against your "paint FG%"), and has missed nearly 20 games already.

Like all things Grizzlies, he's fools gold.

I don’t know if they are about to go on a losing streak or blowout the Knicks?

This dude if his three isn't falling he's extremely predictable.

**** dude went 0-20 from three and just kept chucking.


That's the current Celtics in a nutshell though. They're an extremely three-point dependent team. They live and die by the three (even more than other teams).

Clippers are awful
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8

That’s a “good loss”

Every team needs a bad loss like that in order to never forget how being up huge can always be erased

Refs bailing out Jimmy Butler all night, weak call after weak call sending him to the line after he misses.

Refs making sure clippers get the w tonight lol. 5 fouls in the first 3.5 minutes. 3 fouls on Huerter. Absolutely laughable.

And again. Guy has 19 FTs on his own, Knicks have 16, such a joke.

Jokic is probably having the greatest offensive peak of all time.

DEN is 28-4 at home. The losses were by 2, 3, 2, and 1. One loss was without Jokic. Three losses were the second night of a back-to-back where they were on the road the previous night. So, basically they don't lose at home.
