fukk marcus smart

but Boston is legit. They're coming out the west. It was either them or Milwaukee, but since Middleton is hurt, it's y'alls conference to lose :yeshrug:
We would have beat Milwaukees ass even if Kriss Middleton didn't get a boo boo :mjlit:

it would be tough. i cant count out the defending champs

but this Nets/Celtics series is looking to be anticlimactic. If Nets lose game 3, its a wrap. Everyone keeps saying KD wont shoot so badly the next game, but idk... :francis:

Bruh nobody calls Joel out like Sixer fans do, his own fans booed him when he was playing like trash and we always call him out on his bullshyt like in the Toronto series he pulled. The media calls him out too

But for Jokic :whoa:“Now hold on just a damn minute”
Nobody is saying that Jokic can't be criticized (he should be just like every other player), but using a playoff series, and exaggerating his shortcomings to say he didn't deserve to win MVP is some clown shyt. Y'all just in your feelings because Embiid won't win it. Let it go. Aaron muh'fukken Gordon is supposed to be his sidekick and he barely shot 30% over the first two games. Nobody is doing shyt with Gordon as their running mate. Look at what's happening with KD right now, and he has Kyrie.

:manny:

I always found that mindset to be retarded. You scoring points and notching assists is inherently impactful.

And Jokic's impact was having them within 10 points at the end of the game. Just because you lose doesn't mean that you provided no impact.

They aren't made equal though.

Harden's 40 and Curry's 40 in a playoff game look way different and they don't have the same impact on the court.

Steph
Poole
Klay
KD
Dray.

Shot distribution is even better
no i mean that there arent enough shots for everyone

like KD has always led his team in shots for every team he's been on. So how does Steph, klay, and Poole still get 20 points each?

Joking about to enter the scrutiny phase giannis had
2 MVPs and no playoff finals appearances
He about to get blocked by the media from winning anything besides maybe all nba

Nuggets need to try and get another guard besides Murray

Points and assists certainly aren't "inherently impactful", as no box score stat is, but the Nuggets losing has nothing to do with Jokic's numbers not being impactful. He creates more easy scoring opportunities with his playmaking than anyone else in the league, and is the most efficient high-volume scorer, all without infracting on his teammates' games. He's one of a kind; nobody is the best in both those areas. The whole reason why the Nuggets won 50 games and had some of the highest net-rating lineups was because of how impactful he is. I think their seeding/record gave folks a false reading into how good the support cast is. It's evident these nxggas didn't watch Nuggets games this season because if they did, they'd know this squad would inevitably get eaten alive in the postseason, especially against a team that has three high-level scorers and one of the best defensive anchors to ever step on the hardwood.

Put Shaq or Hakeem or Duncan on this Nuggets squad in his place, and they're getting beaten in similar fashion. The game is 5v5. Not 1v1.

Agreed, although I do think jokic was impactful up until the last minute when Curry and Dray made plays against him

Not arguing against Jokic, I do think he's impactful and was impactful in this game, I was just countering that argument @Dray5K was making because I don't agree with it
