Around the League - Donte to Knicks 4/$50

[MickeyDavis]

This series will get low ratings and will likely be over in 4-5 games but it's good for casuals to see Jokic play.

It’s gotta be tough watching Martin go ham on you in game seven then 1-7 the next game.

I'm 100% down with this. Screw the big markets!

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

I've seen enough. Jokic has passed Giannis on my all time list. No shame in that Jokic is going to be top 15, Giannis probably top 17

[Plossum]

Bit of a nervy close from Denver but it never got too tight for comfort.

Miami don’t look entirely like dead ducks out there. Think it’ll be an interesting series.

I knew the JOB pick was a mistake right when they made it

I don't remember, but was anyone on the board saying "Take Nikola Jokic" on draft night? Major props to anyone who did...lol.

I remember being really annoyed because we didn't take Glenn Robinson III.

Funny thing is Dinwiddie and Jerami Grant were taken right after our pick at #36, then Joker at #41. It's like there were a couple quality players and a hall of famer right there and we took JOB....lol.

I didn’t know who Johnny O’Bryant was before we drafted him (bad sign to begin with), but you could take one look at his body and know he had zero chance of being an NBA player. Highlight videos were just confirmatory.

Absolutely baffling pick.

Himmy Butler haha

[Antinomy]

Jimmy dominates guys smaller than him but doesn’t even look at the rim against guys anywhere near his size.

That was the biggest reason I hated the Jrue matchup from Game 1.

Himola Jokic.

The whole HYMN thing, uh, pass.

That was the biggest reason I hated the Jrue matchup from Game 1.

Why Jrue insisted on taking Wes off him in G5 is beyond me. Jimmy wasn't getting anything in that matchup.

Nuggets are too smart of a team for that Miami zone to work like it did against Boston.

Celtics had talent but played right into Miami’s hands.

The only hope is that the ball doesn’t touch Jokic’s hand AT ALL, otherwise Denver will get a good shot.

He didn’t score on Wes a single time.

That was the biggest reasons I wanted Jae to play more in that series, despite what everyone keeps saying.

He was the only guy we had who could deter Jimmy size-wise, even momentarily.

I agree, Joker just does more things than Giannis. Giannis is still easily the #2 current guy in the league, like you said no shame in that.

If Giannis played with the same level of BBIQ as Joker, Giannis would easily be #1 ahead of Joker. Hopefully Griffin can help and we don't see any more 1-8 type of nights from Giannis behind the arc. If I coached Giannis, I'd almost be tempted to tell him he's getting a $5000 fine every time he attempts a 3.

[fan230]

Bud had put Wes on Butler but Jrue waved Wes off.

Jrue’s arrogance, that is all that I can think of. And Butler was taunting him.

It's good for hardcores to see him play, too, considering a month ago they were saying Jokic is a regular season player who gets exposed in the playoffs.

If youve been watching he was, he leveled up big time fitness wise. Talking about a guy who slowed down nearly every 4th quarter previously now he doesnt have that issue anymore. Less plays taken off because he is able to. So its not really something that wasnt true. Its clear hes the best player in the game right now.

[BroncoBuck]

I’m begging Adam Silver and the refs to enforce moving screen violations.

This should be an offensive turnover. It’s so annoying to watch this **** every night. Far more annoying than the block/charge calls in my opinion. Jokic is one of the biggest offenders. He doesn’t even bother with the illusion of setting an actual screen.

I think Miami matches up well, but I'll also cop to not thinking much of Hip Velocity and Porter. Strike me down for the wild sht I'm bout to post, but the series hinges on the play of Bruce Brown and Clinton administration holdover, Jeff Green.

Chones, you scamp you, you still got it.

[Antinomy]

The collective IQ on this team is far too lacking.

Giannis plays dumb.
Khris plays sloppy.
Jrue plays sloppy & dumb.

It’s got so frustrating watching this team implode late in games. I think it had more to do with Khris not being there so the PnR game wasn’t used as much.
