i think the games are too long and it is harmful because this lowers the chances for underdogs to win. i don't like it when they foul each other on purpose because it is the most strategic thing to do. otherwise i think it is a very good sport.

As a guy that only occasionally watches NBA games and then watches a bit more often in the playoffs, the Jokic MVP makes no sense to me. And that is why it's the perfect MVP.

the ref chat and appeal to some NBA illuminati here is identical to every NBA sports betting chat. So my only question is... -4 Boston or try to get it lower live?

luv 2 draft guys who look like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man in the hope that they can pack on 50 lbs of muscle without their limbs doing an anime explosion when encountering real contact

remember seeing an interview with i think brandon ingram after he was drafted where he talked about having some mandatory app on his phone that told him when to stuff his gullet and he clearly loving hated it

i would love that app. got a link?

jumping past a few pages: Has anyone realized that the first 3 letters of Jokic are the same as the first 3 letters of Joker

Edit: yes it appears so

In 4 seasons Nikola Jokic has ZERO conference championships, 885 turnovers. He has started 0-1 in 3 of his first 4 playoff games. His teammates hate him. He’s terrible for chemistry. He has no heart no desire to win. he is 16-25 vs teams over 500. Sixers are 22-8 in their last 30 games with Joel Embiid

If you don't find laser accurate no look passes exciting, I don't know what to say. Short of a posterizing power dunk, it's the coolest play in the NBA just on a pure "holy poo poo did you see that" eye test. Like, sitting watching the game and getting fooled on where the ball went, just like the defense, then seeing a replay and going holy poo poo is awesome and you don't gotta be a superfan who knows offensive and defensive schemes to see it.

Jokic's problem from a marketability perspective is that he's not charismatic. It definitely doesn't help that English isn't his first language but contrast him with Giannis, who can't help but ooze charisma even past the language barrier. The problem isn't Jokic's game being unmarketable, it's him personally.

And, to be clear, that's not like, his fault. It's not like he's Barry Bonds and being a surly dick to everyone while also being one of the best players, he's just not a magnetic person.

He needs to lean into his aesthetic and launch basketball x hunting shoes at Cabela's. I wanna see him out there with camo shoes.
