Weeeeee *cartwheels*

GG, Hawks fans!

Really wanted this one.

Gutsy lucky clutch win. I'll take it. These didn't go out way so many times last season so it feels good to turn the tide.

KAT: 30/18/5, +29
Gobert: 3/4/0, -37

There are people on this forum that will tell you Gobert is better than KAT with a straight face. Crazy.

Lol damn haven't seen you in a while on the other board. I haven't been watching is my guy LeBron finally done?

I wouldn't say he's done.... but he's hanging on for dear life lol he's still more than capable of going off and showing glimpses of the past though. You should try to watch more while he's still around and not completely washed imo

This nuggets team is awful playing down to their competition.

Lazy, casual, careless, mentally weak. Is coaching part of the problem?

The refs in the Kings game are terrible and biased as hell. Fox and Sabonis in foul trouble

Nuggets have no backup defensive Center and no one looking applicable on team's O when Jokic sits unless you pray for 5 MPJ 3's. Gordon works great with Jokic (Any of us would though lol), he's missed games.

He's the least bit criticised because he's been very good consistently since he came unlike the other two.

He's the least criticized because it's hard to evaluate his mediocre defense because analytics have not caught up to the defensive side of the floor. It's very easy to judge Porter and Murray's horrible shooting percentages.

Shawn Marion, Aaron Gordon is not.

Did the thread about Steph not scoring a fg get deleted or something? I didn’t watch the game and am actually curious what happened. Seems relatively noteworthy. LeBron gets a thread about him being washed every time he doesn’t score 20 lol

Knicks GM robbed them with no ski mask in broad daylight.

Unfortunately the Nets robbed them at night with the Bridges trade, leaving the Knicks with little to know option to bolster their centre and bench positions, which will cost them any legit chance at a chip (imo)

Well I for one love Bridges on this team! No regrets about that trade.

probably he is waiting for either the gap to increase to 45 or just 1 minute left to go.

Yeah I should it's just depressing seeing him like this. Steph too. KD is still the same somehow tho.

Yea, not a peep from Malone on the side line. He needs to get on his players for giving up all the offensive rebounds. Westbrook looks like he has more fire than the coach.

Denver is an absolute joke

And it’s been an all season long thing with the offensive rebounds

Denver is poo

Wonder if this is the circuit breaker which forces their ownerships hand ?

It's impossible not to feel sorry for Joker at this point

BigGargamel · Post #297 » by **BigGargamel** » Fri Dec 20, 2024 4:44 am

Giving up 100 points in 3 quarters to the third worst shooting team in the NBA. This is just laziness. Jokic deserves better.

No wonder Thibs only plays an 8 man rotation. These Knicks scrubs are terrible.

Who wins?
