It seems like the Suns strategy is to relentlessly attack the paint, which is working alright. But 3 > 2. 50% greater in fact.

those were the same playoffs where TJ Warren and Jamal Murray convinced people they were the next coming of Kawhi and Dame.

but also don’t suggest that MPJ and Murray are anywhere near Manu and Tony because Murray has been riding bubble gas for years

yeah but it is fun to sit on a pole position

9/34 precincts reporting have Jamal Murray as leading scorer (non-All-Star division)

did not expect Jokic to be valuable without ten assists

double doubles and triple doubles are probably numerology voodoo and my electricity went out in the third quarter.

i was very willing to believe phoenix had come back in the remaining period i was in the dark. until i checked the spreadsheet, schrodinger's KAT, and now i get to pretend i know anything about hoops.

Jokic has a complicated history ITT

Azathoth
Apr 3, 2001

Shitposting about Jokic aside, he has serious issues with effort on defense, and bad defense at the most important defensive position has not historically been a recipe for playoff success.

However, it is an open question whether anyone in the West can sufficiently exploit that. I had expected the Suns to do that, but they got blown out. I didn't get to watch the game to see if they tried to go at Jokic so maybe they did and it doesn't work, idk.

Denver has never done particularly well in the playoffs which doesn't inspire confidence for their playoff chances, mostly
As we saw from the bucks and grizzlies regular season performance is not really indicative of anything

90% he’s trolling as a denver fan but if not it’s because he likes to go back to Albania in the off season to tend to his turnip farm instead of conditioning
