I don't remember. Who just said jokers is part larry bird part kevin McHale ...

But people really need to see what making players better looks like and that's what he does.. And yet stupid Voters picked Embiid over Jokic. I don't even think it's close Embiid take shots from everyone makes them worse..

i knew how great joker is but i still greatly underestimated it. the way he moves is like a 90yo loon but he's amazing.

Denver needs C Pope not to be a dope

So if you actually defend Caleb Martin he sucks…shocker.

every time i see thomas bryant, I chuckle! could have had good minutes with us when rob was out, and then a lot of backup mins (we could have used), because the way he plays fits us to a T! Instead, he played well for the Lakers, keeping them afloat (barely) when AD went down and they promptly stopped using him when he returned. Now all he can do is cheer everyone else on from the bench! He may get a ring but didnt earn one bit of it. We starved for what he can do as Al was a shell of himself offensively all playoffs.

Jokic's defense is a joke. No pun intended

the refs are on one.

This is being a heck of a final series: two heavyweights exchanging punches. Nuggets need a 3rd scorer.

This has been a pretty fun series. Two high IQ, unselfish teams. Just on another level than us when it comes to smart/team basketball. These teams are playing chess while we're playing patty cake.

Offense that is not reliant on the 3 ball is much more fun to watch.

Marvel · Post #36 » by **Marvel** » Thu Jun 8, 2023 2:07 am

Clearly these 2 teams have other options when 3s aren't falling. For the Celtics? Shoot more 3s till your arms fall off lmaoo

That MPJ contract looks disgusting right now

Annoyed we don’t have an Aaron Gordon type player instead Brad went for small players. Horford should be the one bullying the heat in the paint but he’s gotten really soft/old offensively that he had no interest shooting in the paint even when he’s bigger and stronger. The whole mindset going for threes every play was terrible.

Joker is clearly the best player in the world and I don't think there's even an argument anymore from the greek freak..

Whatever advantage the greek freak has on defense does not make up for how well the joker orchestrates the offense and literally score so efficiently
