we saw the fake MVP being fronted successfully by Marcus Smart
the real MVP Jokic on smaller players is basically automatic, no1 in the league even comes close in that regard

The only thing I have a hate relationship is that Monty & Mike are not wearing suits.

There are people (a significant amount) that spend all their free time on this site and analysts who are paid for a living to follow the NBA who think Joel Embiid is better than Jokic. A lot of you thought KD was better as well.

Consider that.

Well if they do make the comeback for this game, Suns will have peak confidence for the road Game 7. i guess they need go down like this first if they want to win this series.

Well, that first quarter didn't inspire much confidence in the Suns' ability to win. If they don't start playing a lot better very soon, this is done.

1/4 of obliteration complete.
