Yes it is, and it makes you kind of reassess the Jokic greatness. I think a lot of people (myself included) get put off because he looks like just a guy at the YMCA and dismiss him as more Tom Boerwinkle than Wilt Chamberlain.

A lot of people (myself included) are wrong.

i get put off because i find him annoying. i dont like the way he wobbles down the court like a drunk penguin. i'm supposed to find that charming and relatable because i'm from the midwest but give me the guy who wants to destroy people and take their confidence over that sack of potatoes.

Rooting for a Nugs/Bucks Finals so we can finally settle the LeBron/MJ debate. Don't ask me why this is true.

PJ to the Knicks on a 10 day. Glad we passed.

This is also why he gets away with his bully ball and Giannis, whose body is superhuman, doesn’t. Annoys the hell out of me.

We are going to have another LA vs Boston Finals huh?

Well if so, just like the SB I won't watch

LeBron - what a pussy actor. I’m not even sure he got pushed in the chest.

Booker playing that many minutes for notorious minutes micro-manager Bud is a pretty good indicator of how the Suns' season has gone (not that we need one).

I get similar vibes watching this OKC v Denver game. OKC and Cavs are soooo fast and athletic that some of these older teams like Denver and MKE will struggle against them down the stretch and especially if the series goes to 6/7 games.

Honestly can’t wait to see how hard the league is gonna push to get the Lakers in the Finals. Between Luka and Lebron, we’re gonna see an absolutely epic free throw disparity in each round.

Apologies if this was already posted but god damn this is great. I’ll feel the same way about nba media when chuck hangs em up as I did about comedy when Norm died. Won’t ever be the same and the last of the real ones.

Coach Kidd isn’t respected enough to have gotten a heads up about the Luka trade.

But his role in Dallas’ demolition shouldn’t be ignored either.

I don’t think Kidd would have traded Luka that cheaply (not like he has high level Nike or casino interests), but Nico was awfully comfortable saying he didn’t need to talk to him to know what he was thinking, which makes it seem like some gnarly power struggle was going on with him and Luka too.

That aside, running Kyrie into the ground with ludicrously high minutes for such an injury prone aging guy is clearly on the coach.

This is kind of brilliant from Daigneault.

The quickest path to a Suns turnaround is suckering some team into taking Booker for the rumored package of multiple firsts and a young rising player.

Houston or who do we think is giving that up for Booker?

Idk who is paying an arm and a leg for Durant.

Doesn’t seem like he’d be excited to extend in Minnesota or Memphis either fwiw.
