It's clearly Shai right now and has been for a little more than a season. Luka might have higher highs, but Shai is just so much more consistent on a game to game basis

Yes, Knicks lost due to Magic’s defense forcing the Knicks to have a bad shooting night

Tari Eason has transformed from an elite perminute stocks guy into a full on PJ Tucker 2.0.

Most incredible thing about SGA is that as a guard, and a guard who takes a lot of jumpers at that, he has shot ~50-54% from the field the last 4 years. Absolutely incredible.

I wonder if the Nuggets eventually swap Cam Johnson for Peyton Watson, letting Gordon slide into MPJ’s shooter role while Peyton takes on Gordon’s old role spotty shooting but doing all the dirty work like rim protection and defense.

Shai the best player in the game outside of Wemby. Anyone saying Giannis, Jokic, Luka is a flat out hater. Big Luka fan too but this guy is just relentless.

Shai is him. I'd only take Wemby in a redraft.

Ok sure lmao

Shai Jokic is pretty much equal

If it’s for Ayton, picks should be coming to the Lakers

I imagine this won’t be well-received, but glancing around the scores tonight…

Another data point that Paolo really isn’t impacting winning for Orlando. They gotta figure out how to use that guy correctly, and he has to improve as well.

He's on track for his 4th season in a row of 30+ PPG and 50FG%+ , Mj did it 5x in a row.

Jokic can't win against Caruso either so pointless comment.

Okc took 7 games to beat a far less talented Nuggets team. Its sad that you already know Luka is a loss cause who will never win anything so you bandwagon the guy who has the best chance of beating Jokic. :lol:

Weak mentality and fairweather bandwagon fan.


All that Jokic glazing and your guy is struggling with a 3-7 team without Kawhi. Take a seat, pal.

OKC showing how a real championship defense is played. Lakers are going to have to get to a similar level if they want to come out of the West. Lebron returning should help I guess but I'm not sure how I'd feel counting on a 41 year old to be a defensive anchor for an entire playoff run.
