I have to admit....the first half of game 2 had me wondering if a page had been turned. But my gut was telling me it was just a loose whistle and handsy defense.
It was kinda weird to see so many come out of the woodwork in happiness for denver's demise. They are generally likeable players and they play a very pretty, aesthetic version of basketball. I get the feeling that Americans are getting sick of euro players and that's the start and end of the explanation. They want to cheer for American players and Ant is also very likeable, easy to root for.
Plus it doesn't help that murray is Canadian too.
I get the hate for doncic. I don't like him either. I seen he made a very contrived "pause" joke in a post game recently. His whole schtick rubs me the wrong way.
But jokic is awesome and hilarious and totally likeable. The hate for him I think is moreso just a ethnocentric thing. Murray and Gordon are likeable too. MPJ is the only guy on that team who is kinda grating.
