I dont get how watching Jokic bust floaters over those big rear end centers isnt exciting to you, or watcjing him go up into the same form as a flpater for it to jist be a lob to Gordon isnt fun to you. Maybe you just like what you like and that is fine. I like what I like, which is an unpredictable center that jist confuses the hell out of opposing teams. It is never not fun.

This is exactly the kind of stuff that NBA fans loving hate to see because it is always only the other team doing it, and they are doing it specifically to spite your team and humiliate your best players.

if you watch Jokic coaching the Serbian special Olympics team and don't like him then you have no soul


it's also why the whole "he doesn't even like basketball" narrative is so stupid. credulous white people just want a shlubby unmotivated role model so bad

Thank you for this advice I will make sure not to watch that

Honestly I just developed a deep dislike of him during the 2019 playoffs and the fact that my team has been in a free fall ever since with no end in sight while they’ve been up up up just frustrates me even more

My hate of Jokic is pure

Knicks are the most injured team in the league. If Philly wins the play in they'll get all the way to the ECF

If Miami makes it to the ECF again and Boston does too I'm pretty confident I can win another T-shirt off my father-in-law

I'd love the chance to even out that playoff record too, at least attempt to shut Miami fans up

In short go Heat

The Sixers are a 25-30 win team without Embiid and they have no shot even with him. Their best chance was 2019 or maybe last year (even if Denver would have crushed them) and this team is not anywhere near as good.

The Bucks should trade Giannis before his Achilles inevitably blows out next season. Just trash this team and start fresh.

Paul Reed is way better than Greg Monroe and Amir Johnson, get da gently caress outta here

The Sixers roster this season is loaded compared to the trash they were putting on the floor those playoffs. Mike Scott? James Ennis???

Boston is the only team in the East that will challenge the Sixers if Embiid is playing.

I don't trust any teams in the East not to collapse horribly in the presence of Jimmy Butler but there's no way in hell the Lakers are making the Finals, too much real talent in the West these days

The 76ers were 31-8 with Embiid this year, literally a higher win-loss pace than Boston's 64-18 record. They are the only team that has a shot in the East besides Boston and Embiid has played the best ball of his career this year

Also they no longer have Doc Rivers

Still 2-4 against the top three seeds in the West compared to 4-2 for Philly. I'd still favor Boston but I don't think the 76ers are slouches
