"Probably" top 7?

Booker's not the MVP but he's alot higher than 7th place

He sure does. Jokic aint no fraud though. He's just playing with the same type of talent Booker had in 2018 and getting better results.

NOP showing their inexperience here versus the defending Western conference champs.

I do expect them to win a couple games at home to make it interesting though.

Feel like we routinely have games where all of a sudden we can't make ****. Don't understand it honestly because we're really not that bad shooting the ball

It's almost as if the opposing team is a good defensive team or has a potential dpoy or it's the playoffs or something... :roll:

Feels like there is a lid on the basket. It maybe fatigue, it maybe nerves, but we need to get it together asap if we don’t wanna get swept
