Honestly him and Jaylen were both mediocre. The offense was much more open with fast passing and generating open looks for everyone which is a decent sign that they might be Back. The last month or so, even the wins, stank of the Bad Times when every game was bad vibes heroball.

yah i know i was doing a bad magic impression

the nuggets don’t need points per game

they need negative points per game from the other team. those two hurt guys aren’t going to help that at all and will at best offer marginal increases over the guys they are replacing

also I will watch Denver games . jokic has in the past played better defense but I think he’s already past his prime and close to being cooked . we will see

I did watch Jokic. Two things pop off the screen. How tall he is! There are not many people taller than him. The other things is that he passes! Put those two together (tall + pass) and you get the MVP, the JOKIC, the everything.

often i see glimmers of euph's ideas

in a many interpretations of Regular Season MVP, his team needs to be first or second place in the conference

but he also scores forty points and fifteen rebounds really really often, just like euph's preferred candidate

i'm not sure myself if having a tall efficient point guard is as valuable as a traditional big that can stop the clock making three point plays three feet from the basket,

the two things i hate most are when my team turns the ball over and when they miss free throws: the two most valuable players rarely ever do those things i hate

Sixers embracing five-out Harden isolation ball, working pretty well, but the Bulls haven't yet gone full throttle on their Vučević+LaVine size advantage

out of respect for yugoslavia i am learning where my diacritical keys are located. Vučević is Swiss-born Belgian???? ah family moved in 92. got it.

Harden works best when he stops trying to make shots and focuses on passing and foul baiting, which are his top remaining skills

some of these sixer defensive switches are quite stifling, on ball bulls players are getting doubled but not finding the open man

the nba app is my enemy.



i also like three guard principles, i wish the warriors would do that more often late in games with Donte DiVincenzo as point guard and Klay + Poole off ball shooting guards

in fact i think the biggest knock on valuable bigs is that they get burned by three guard spacing

montrezl! love a good chargefoul-stop into offensive board two on the other end.

jokic is basically the sci fi combination of John Stockton and manure bol

there are two important things in basketball. I used to think there was one : being tall. but people in this thread have shown me a second criteria: passing . and now like the good hegelians we are; we combine the two ideas into one synthesis. we take tall and we take pass and jane them together and get tallpass.

“tallpass” in Serbian is coincidentally: Jokic

sixers really suffer when they don't get free throws, sixers had the calls in the first but bulls had the favored whistle in the second.
