The league needs Steph to be somewhat healthy in the worst way. I am excited to see him play again.

Yeah this seems obvious to me. I’d think very hard about it if I’m Denver, though the defense of a team built around Murray, Harden, and Jokic will be interesting to say the least.

Murray is a pretty good defender, no?

Oh my god. Denver should run away from Harden as fast as possible. Why would you ruin such a beautiful and exciting young team with that douche bucket? Their duo is 23 and 25; you don't need to get desperate.

I, for one, do not believe in MPJ to be good - at least for the future of that team. He doesn't strike me as the 'sure, I'll be the third guy' type, so I don't think using him as a trade chip to get better is a bad idea at all. But no no no, don't do it this way.

Murray/Harden/Jokic would be so insane offensively, I don’t like Harden but I do think he’s smart enough to adapt as a player and will be motivated to prove that he’s not a complete team cancer on his next team. Defensively though...lol

No. He’s a guy that other teams will target on defense.

I don't know how you guard this Brooklyn team man. Absurd firepower

Another 10 game season for Curry coming up, his team is a dumpster fire.

If Durant is still Durant they are the East favorites to me. Just ridiculously good and really deep too. We need Kyrie to go off the rails and sink that team from the inside.

Denver needs a wing who can defend elite players, stay within the structure of the offense, and defer to teammates. In other words, they need the exact opposite of Harden.

I believe you need to force them to make Kyrie as the first option on offense and hope he tries to take over the game. Also attack Kyrie on defense.

If they share the ball, they almost unstoppable.

Nets look good early

If we're facing the Nets deep in the playoffs we'll all be glad we have Jrue instead of Bledsoe

What a dunk by Oubre.

MikeIsGood · Post #1596 » by **MikeIsGood** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 12:26 am

Suns obviously don't mind losing Oubre to get Chris Paul for a few years, but man, I really like him and think he's a great pickup for GS. Not necessarily for this year, but for when Klay returns, I think this could be the best complimentary player they've had to their 'stars'.

Thought GSW would close the quarter well and then two bad mistakes lead to 6 points the other way. Big yikes there.
