Denver peaked last year. Jokic is dope and Murray is aight I rather give MAGA Porter JR. the keys .. Murray is who he is. Monta Ellis Jr with a nicer jumper.

I don’t know about peak considering how young the core still is and how Jokic is unstoppable in the playoffs..but replacing Grant with Green lowers the ceiling significantly imo even if Green has been solid as always.

MAGA is an incredible scorer who needs to become a playmaker as well to fit into a real offense..won’t even mention defense as that’s a team problem imo. Only thing is whenever Denver struggles it’s always our coaches and players saying to get him more shots as the solution instead of having him play within the offense. I want him gone and think Denver could get a haul for way more than he’s worth but may be the personality clouding my judgment.

The fukking warriors couldve taken Keldon Johnson at 28

.............instead they chose Jordan Poole

Nets now 2nd in the east they might be hitting their stride

clips looked damn good in their win

philly looking good as well

utah picking up where they left off

Bucks window might be closed already

I think Utah does want to see him, and Denver too. But i'm making the assumption that Donovan has turned the corner and, even if he doesn't reach bubble-level highs, will be ignorantly good in the playoffs this year.

With all the talk about Denver, Dallas, and Portland coming into this season... i felt Utah was getting slept on and would be a 50/50 series vs any of them (if all were fully healthy), just like last year vs Denver. It felt like they've had slow/slower starts in previous seasons but they seem to be taking care of business early this time.

With all the hype Denver, Dallas, Phoenix, and Portland were getting coming into this season based on the bubble, i was sayin don't sleep on Utah...

Can't gas up DEN without acknowledging they went life n death with the Jazz, and barely survived. Utah had a shyt start last year including Conley being trash.. which had people dismissing them, but this year they got they shyt together early.

8 wins in a row, maintaining a 3-way tie for #1 in the West. Donovan ballin.

Been told yall about Utah

Would be hilarious if Mavs missed the playoffs..I see their fans getting tired of Porzingis

Aldridge for KP. Do it, RC Wright

 

[Trapperman Dave]

Can’t help but feel Denver could’ve been as hot as Utah if we paid Grant what he wanted and kept him as a part of a core with Murray and Jokic, now instead we gotta rely on Porter to become the guy now and hope he doesn’t destroy team chemistry in the future

If clippers handled their business it probably would have sped this process up

 

[Wargames]

Porzingis misses a shot and then gives up an and-1 for his 4th foul, all in the first 38 secs. of the 2nd half.

 

[DoubleJ13]

Mavs need to find another guy before they have to pay Luka, Porzingis needs to also be the 3rd best of that group so I don't know how they find that other guy with the random group of people left

 

[Derek Lee]

Rudy owns KP.

I think they got to wait for the off season and try to get Fournier. He’s what they wished Hardaway was.... plus another Euro
