Christian Braun is Alex Caruso with great hair.
I judge your ball knowledge by where you rank Tim Duncan all-time.
Biggest MPJ defender.

Massive disagree when it comes to the Nuggets.
The Denver Nuggets can build a championship roster with Nikola Jokic anchoring their defense.
In fact, they've probably done it already.

breaks down how Luka and Kyrie can improve on both ends for Game 3 βοΈ
"Jokic was MVP in 2022 as lower seed, so Luka should be!"
Gee, I don't remember Jokic having a teammate that can go off for 50 on any given night and carry an offense for lengthy stretches, at all.
Luka has Kyrie, Jokic had Will Barton.
He had a guaranteed 15-20 mpg on a championship team, but it was not enough for him, now he'll be lucky if he can find minutes on mid/tanking teams.
Things could've been so different, the city fuckin loved you bro. π
HoopsHype lists Bones Hyland as a potential trade candidate
Hyland has 5 DNPs over the last 7 games and has only played a total of 8 minutes in that span
They were so hungry to slander him, the series isn't even over.
If the Nuggets end up winning the series somehow, I swear I am not holding back. I will be so toxic.
Jok, you have the opportunity to feed the next 7 generations of my family. Please, deliver just this for me.
Anthony Davis switching out on a Premier offensive Guard during a crucial possession in a Playoff game.
Rudy Gobert switching out on a Premier offensive Guard during a crucial possession in a Playoff game.
I laughed.
I love Jokic, I also love Luka, but am I the only one who thinks this duo wouldn't be that good? It would be good, just not world-shattering like it might appear on paper.
What Jamal and Jok have is awesome, and Jamal is just a better fitting partner for Jok.

Nikola Jokic says he'd be open to teaming up with Luka Doncic but only on the Nuggets.

To-do list for every Nugget for next szn:
Jokic: learn to foul bait
Jamal: cardio tubs
MPJ: watch KD 2 dribble pullup tapes
AG: handles/shooting
KCP: get ya hand healthy
CB: shooting confidence
PWat: a lot
Malone: stop being a vibes merchant and make in-game adjustments.

Disagree.
Nobody is claiming that a triple double means a good game. But look at win/loss records when players get a triple double.
Russel - 140-50 W/L (79%)
Jokic - 58-18 W/L (76%)
Harden - 54/14 W/L (80%)
A triple double is strongly correlated with winning.
The Serbian national team will be the only men's basketball team without a single black player at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.

Joel Embiid says he doesnβt need to stat pad to help his MVP case:
βIt is coming naturally. Even against the Bulls (on March 22), I could have easily stat-padded if I wanted to, but I donβt care. I could have easily come back in and got a triple-double and make sure that I keep
βREBOUND CALDWELL-POPE, THEYβRE NOT GONNA FOUL! THE HEAT WILL LET IT PLAY OUT. ITS OVER!! AT LAST, THE LONG WAIT IS OVER, AFTER 47 YEARS, THE DENVER NUGGETS CAN FINALLY CALL THEMSELVES NBA CHAMPIONS!!!β

"Jokic was MVP in 2022 as lower seed, so Luka should be!"
Gee, I don't remember Jokic having a teammate that can go off for 50 on any given night and carry an offense for lengthy stretches, at all.
Luka has Kyrie, Jokic had Will Barton.
ESPN Sources: Free agent G Kelly Oubre Jr., has agreed on a two-year, $16.3 million deal to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers. Deal includes a player option on the 2025-2026 season for Sixersβ starting two-guard.
I'm a 6'2 guard and I will go directly at a 7'4 tall 8'0 wingspan monster at the rim without even a little bit of misdirection at least, or a pass to an open Jokic.
Like...
By popular demand, Luka is finally done.
You can see the difference in how a guard gets his assists compared to bigs.
Updated everyone else as well, up until April 1st.
I knew we had a lot of people praying on our downfall, but holy shit it's more than i thought, they're all coming out the woodworks in droves.
Fuckin hell.
Curry and Jokic both have a flopping tech, meanwhile Embiid, SchrΓΆder, Reaves, Harden, Smart etc have none.
Refs just forget this rule exists, then remember it randomly on random occasions.
I would say it's a failed rule, but the refs in this association are the real failures.
First offβ¦I am ok.
My house was vandalized by bricks in New York.
After my hands stopped shaking, I managed to call the Sheriff, they were quick to respond.
My window is gone, the police asked me if I knew who did it.
I said yes, it was Murray, Gordon, KCP and MPJ
Denver tries to hype this heat team up because they want to act like their ring was amazing but in reality they had the easiest path in history (yes injured suns)
@realStanVG
@statmuse
Also LeBron has a record of 80-25 (76%) in games where he had a triple double. It's not an overrated stat by any means.
It statistically means your team is a lot more likely to win when you get a triple double.
