I'm sorry fam. What is with this Kyrie Irving PR???? Y'all acting like the man is a martyr standing for some noble cause when he could've went to Walgreens and solved this situation for 10 months
Story from Miami: Kyrie Irving said he had to pinch himself on Thursday as the mandate was lifted to allow him to play in home games in NYC.
Now, his focus shifts to the end of the season + building a legacy in Brooklyn alongside Kevin Durant.
We need to kill the Jokic untenable defense narrative...Denver has played against 3 radically different offenses and Jok has been strong defensively against all 3. Teams have not been able to consistently make him a pressure point
In an era where dribbling rules handicapped all perimeter ball handlers, Jerry West's ability to just completely stop on a dime and rise into his pull-up is just so so alien
It is still quite funny how the Nuggets organization let a 2nd round Serbian Rookie take the number 15 after Melo, and he turned out the be the best player in franchise history making the eventual jersey retirement ceremony kinda messy now, lol
(Kids should not be shooting on 10 foot rims when they're this young, they're not physically strong enough to get the ball to the rim with a normal jumper and set bad habits with funky jumpers in the effort to get the ball to the rim)
The Bucks went from borderline playoff team to a championship contender in one off-season and all they did was add Brook Lopez and fire Jason Kidd. Like, unless you think Brook Lopez is worth 20 games, dude was no doubt one of the most destructive coaches in NBA history
the obama’s be virtually non-existent until it’s time to crush a social movement, it’s incredibly impressive. i don’t think i have heard anything from obama since liberal democrats successfully defanged/co-opted the protests from last year, lol
"His team got eliminated!"
"You can't give him back to back MVPs!"
"He's not a 2 way player!"
"He didn't lead the league in scoring!"
"My eye test tells me he isn't the best player on Earth!"
What the Thunder are doing is just as egregious as the process Sixers, but no one is saying a word cause they're in a small market. Sacrificed Seattle for that poverty franchise, smh
Love Jokic here. Organizes the whole offense, specifically sending Gordon from the wing to the dunker spot knowing he was gonna find him on the short roll for the Layup And-1
We as a basketball community need to talk about Paul Millsap reinventing his game for a third time at the end of his career in Denver. He came into the league as a energy rebounder guy, became a defensive dynamo offensive jack of all trades in Atlanta, and now is 74/170 (43.5%)
Dawg, Paul George's resume is already insanely impressive, sits right up there with many of the best of the best at his position. Easily one of the most underrated players of our generation.
Nuggets fans coming at me this morning so I thought I’d tweet one more thing they’d love…
22% of Jokic assists this season are dribble hand offs
Take a look at all these “assists”
Jonathan Isaac is more educated, intelligent, and speaks with more moral clarity on this issue than the reporters that condescendingly cover him and the morons who mock him on Twitter.
Man, Y'all know exactly why dudes be complaining about Doris Burke giving insightful analysis, but stay silent when Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy start talking about the meal they had before the game
Was trying to memorize all the Phoenix Suns players so I could talk shop with my bf and accidentally found Joe Mazzulla’s quizlet account. Is this the secret to the Celtics’ success? 🤔
Remember when Dave McMenamin went on that pod during the playoffs and laughed at the possibility of Denver beating the Lakers cause "LA always beats the Nuggets" and then the Lakers got swept?
A couple of weeks ago: "Wow, this MVP race between Jokic, Embiid, and LeBron is gonna be really close!"
*Embiid and LeBron get hurt*
Now: "Wow, this race is wide open!"
I"m being 100% serious here tho: someone tell me why Bones shouldn't be on an All-Rookie team? He's been an actually productive NBA player in a high usage role on a playoff team, most rookies aren't close to that
I'm gonna be honest man. I'm still not over Jokic's first 3 quarters in G1 of the WCF. Like what he did to one of the greatest defenders of All-time was just unfathomable
