When people ask what Kyrie would be if he was 6'6.....thats Shai. And he's more committed to taking 3's now

MVP fav imo

Calvin Booth has destroyed what Tim Connelly built. And I'm not cool with blaming the CBA either, because Connelly built that championship roster without ownership's blessing to even step foot into the luxury tax.

6'6 Kyrie would have averaged 40 points.

Keegan Murray has mad game, Sabonis is methodically good and Monk is great off the bench. Fox did little that caught my eye in the game.

Like a lot of teams, there's just something missing for the Kings to get them to the next level.

It doesnt matter what they add, their ceiling is limited because they start a 6'9 guy at C. I like Sabonis, but youre not gonna compete against the size in the West with him being your back line guy

It's almost like they built a poor man's Denver lineup. They actually have better offensive pieces around their star, but I'm not sure the Sabonis build will ever get there.

This aged hilariously. He defended him nicely last season too by the way, aside from the home opener for OKC.


What are you talking about? Jokic was doubled all night. Yes Chet blocked Jokic a couple times last night in double coverage but one on one he can’t guard Jokic. No one really can’t and that’s not a knock on Chet. Chet was the best player on the court last night. He played a great game.

Brother, you have to stop lying

That's your opinion. To me he was the best player on the court. Other guys get what they get because SGA is that good. To me he was the MVP last year.

Last last year Jokic was the better player and most impactful for his team which was tied for the best record in the west with fore mentioned OKC despite Murray missing a quarter of the season. Whereas the Thunder was one of the healthiest teams last year.

The nuggets had a good team last year. SGA did more with less and was just as if not more impactful.

The thunder had like the healthiest team in the NBA. The nuggets had Murray missing over a quarter of the season. Better coaching staff aswell. Jokic makes his teammates better. They would have won over 60 games last if it wasn’t for injuries.

Lying about what? Chet being the best player on the court last night? That Chet played great? Jokic not getting doubled all night? What was the lie?
