Yeah the game was great but I find Jokic’s brand of dominance uncompelling in a way that I never felt about LeBron, Curry, etc. Only 3-4 more years of this before Wemby is consistently making GBS threads on him though, I’ll survive

i endured the long dark road from the karl to the shaw years and now to malone it's such a huge difference jn how much better the decision making is with jokic, murray and malone. i used to have to worry about jr smith off balance 32 footers late in the 4th quarter with 20 seconds on the clock or melo chucking a contested jumper while karl melted down on the sidelines

which is to say: let's loving go nuggets :haibrower:

I've learned to appreciate the whole "lumber around and then be a ballerina" routine, it's vaguely Shaq-like while being simultaneously less dramatic but more graceful.

It will take another couple rings for the Nuggets to hit the point the Warriors are at as far as me not wanting them to win rings goes, joker is fun to watch.

Ghost Dog posted:

i mean he played the best defense of anyone in the playoffs this year tonight, probably over multiple years tbh

Yeah it was really good and the game pretty much came apart when he got his fourth foul. Hell it was good D on the last shot, Murray just made a tough one.

I mean he’s clearly and obviously the best player in the league and has been for the past four years or so. I’m just saying I don’t find it particularly interesting to see a guy make the right decision over and over and over. He’s just so clearly better that it’s like :shrug: haven’t felt that way about anyone that was best in the league before

I think this mostly stems from how bored Jokic appears to be. He couldn’t wait to be done with the trophy celebration last year so he could go home and ride horse

I like my coffee with cream and lsd.
I saw a comment on a Jokic highlight video saying that he looks like he’s ready to pass out from exhaustion three minutes into the game and then just stays like that for the whole thing.

He’s easily my favorite player in the league right now, just like Duncan back then.

You're gonna wanna have more than 0 points in the last 19 minutes if you're Anthony Davis

He's not Giannis, or Jokic, he is dependent to some extent on offense being run for him. Like coming out and trying to get Reaves or Rui going makes some degree of sense but they never at any point went back to what was working.

Just caught up.. that was a great first half lmao. nice competitive game though, least it wasn’t a blowout.

But there’s no way Jokic isn’t mvp this season. It would be an utter disgrace if he isn’t.

Also requesting a couple of gifs.. that Lebron block on murray and that KCP dunk on Prince.

Only 2 more games until the pain is over.
