This is a joy to watch basketball wise. Love the style contrast - transition bball vs halfcourt fulcrum.

Yeah, solid. Bridges, Book and DA not bad either.

He's one of the worst coaches left.
Only if you judge on style points. I judge on wins.

He is not a high scoring option for Denver and that’s very good. He is far from invisible, however.
Idk I haven't really seen him make a positive impact on any game since the playoffs started. He just always seems to be running around in circles passing the ball to other guys.
Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe you only watch offense.

16-0 run without a timeout... nice job, coach.

Jokic didn't like getting scored over by MPJ's man in transition. Dude was running free down the middle of the court, completely unobstructed.

So refreshing to watch a series for the basketball and not the drama

Yup. He makes the occasional hustle play and is a big body on D that bothers some players but apart from that he is pretty bad.

At the very least he slowed down Lillard last round

15-6 FT advantage for the Suns. Monty asking everyone to fall after every shot. Suns gotta lead the league in and 1s.

Re: WC | Rd. 2| (2) Suns vs (3) Nuggets [0-0]
Personally never understood why he never received any respect, he's averaged a double-double every year on good shooting efficiency. I know he's a good defender now, not sure how he was in the past, and he even hits his FT's at a good rate, which is odd for a center. I guess the fact he got picked over Doncic and Trae hangs over him.Calinks wrote:I never got the Ayton hype, but I'm seeing it now. Man doesn't back down easily.

Phoenix looks like they could take it all this year.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

I don’t know what’s going on with Jokic. Maybe he’s tired but he’s not really working the offense.

Denver is really missing Murray's explosion and scoring from the guard position

Jokic will be gassed by end of 4th if this pace keeps up

People really didn't get a chance to appreciate Mikals offense cause he spent most of his energy chasing Lebron last round. He'll get recognition this series for sure.
