I’m done. Joker doesn’t get the points he deserves like all the other superstars get free throws to ride their ppg

Outside of Steph Jokic and Wemby are the only two stars left that I can stand to watch. Really hope one of them wins MVP

Have never seen a player make it look this easy.

Nuggets bench really gonna win this one for Denver?

The Nuggets bench this season has been doing very well

Has my guy Jonas been up to standard?

And? They're 11-1 with a +14 net rating, despite dealing with all sorts of injuries.

This is the most talented team in the league and it's not close

Saying that the team that took them to 7 last year and has a +13 net rating is not close is just plain false

My Nuggets have a chance, we have the Joker, but we are not on OKC's level in terms of overall talent.

Our defense in particular is a bit fugazi at this point (see: this game). We've faced a couple of good teams without their offensive stars, and that has inflated our defensive rating by quite a bit. I think our defense will trend towards average as the season goes on, and the Thunder will separate themselves from the rest of the West.

OKC is clearly the best team in the league but Nuggets have a playoff gear they can hit and the best player in the world, imo. The problem I've seen in the past two playoffs is that they are banged up and it looks like they run out steam, especially Jokic who puts the team on his back.

I think the depth they've added that's keeping everyone's minutes down will do wonders for them in the playoff and I'm hoping for the rematch with a fresher, deeper Nuggets team.

That being said, OKC will now have more experience as well. Either way, I see it being a close series again as well as the real Finals if things stay the way they are.

He's been great. Even better than I expected.

If they started calling Jokic like they do Shai, it would literally wreck the entire league. The refs understand this.

The Nuggets have actually broke even with Jokic on the bench this year, which we haven't done in 7 years. He's been great.

Watching last night's Philly game. I know this is nothing new but Reggie Miller absolutely sucks behind the mic. Goes off on tantrums, totally ignores what's going on on the court and "when I played" bull ****. Just stfu and call the game. Nobody's tuning in to just hear you bable.
