What's Denver's defense looking like in the playoffs so far? Still lower third of the league or have they increased it?

They seem good enough, but it wouldn't shock me if, say, the Celtics when they're really going could absolutely demolish them.

MPJS bball IQ is bad. If they had a wing that actually could defend on top of the three point shooting they are a potential dynasty if healthy with Jokic and Murray.

MPJ is athletic enough to be their defensive specialist but really needs to play smarter and for his back to keep holding up.

Once Curry is done the whole thing will come crashing down. All the strange and mystical lore about the Warriors knowing some magical secrets will disappear overnight.

You are probably right. On the other hand it’s funny to hear you be the one to say it because you are always telling us that Curry is overrated as an impact player.

smh that Magic, of all people, was apparently part of the Slandering Industrial Complex out to besmirch poor Mike Malone's Nuggets, but at least he owned up to it.

I insist upon such a series going 7 games, and Game 7 goes to triple OT.

What did you see from him that was low BBIQ last night? He has a great game on both ends. Career high in assists!

NBA App is showing the first playoff game of Wemby's French team and the first half just ended, with Wemby racking up a 14/8/1/2/2 statline.

My thoughts so far:
  • There was some high-post and pick-and-pop action involving Wemby. He does reasonably well off the catch but his screening needs a lot of work.
  • Passing and decision-making can also improve. He had 4 TOs in the first half mainly off of bad passes.
  • His ability to deter shots both inside and outside was what I liked the most. I think that's the most NBA-ready part of his game.
  • Two strides from outside the three-point line without dribbling for a dunk just seems unfair.
  • The competition in this game is easily above NCAA-level.
  • I need a Ho You Fat jersey yesterday.

he's overrated because people act like he's a top 5 alltime player, he's still the cornerstone of the franchise and the second-best player they've had during this run.

lots of injuries and inconsistent playtime; clinging to the dead weight of victor oladipo and the empty 20 point games of tyler herro; kevin love starting at the 4 perfectly allowing everyone else in the rotation to move down a slot and take on a role more suited to their abilities

Bottom line both the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat are pulling friendship ball right now. Jokić is the fulcrum and Jimmy Butler is a fulcrum. And both have elevated their role players in to really elite space.

Herro is good. They just rely on him to do a lot during the regular season so Jimmy can play like this in the playoffs.
