    Most of the world disagrees with you about Jamal. I don't except that he is always dealing with injuries which, as already discussed, has now tanked all 3 MVP seasons and 3/5 season since Jamal hit his prime. I'd have to go by team by team but I would say 2-6 was clearly worse than all...

    I'd hate to see him leave because part of why it's a middling basketball city is because of how Melo exited and how the free agency situation is trash even when you have a HoF player on the team. I wanna see his Demver legacy cemented as somebody who built up the sport there. But there is just...

    Side note, Penny + Shaq / Dirk / Nash / Billups... those were my favorite players growing up. Throw in the early 00's Kings and you have a feel for all the teams that caused me to fall in love with the sport. So I do not take saying Jokic > Dirk or Jokic = to Shaq lightly.

    I understand your take in regards to 3 and would have been 1000% fine with SGA winning it but... Every single player? I'd have him above KD / Dirk and on par with Shaq. I didn't watch Moses. Obviously, his career is not done and I do think he is going to wear down quicker than people think due...

    I mean, no Nuggets fan is happy with his childish behavior. I'd be fine with a suspension because our medical staff and Malone don't even want him playing but gave him the final say (reports b4 g5 via ESPN). But to act like the root of his behavior isn't the injuries is wild to me. Over 10...

    The guy shouldn't even be on the court but is so competitive that he is refusing to and is playing through a calf strain (and shin splints) that caused him to miss the final month of the season. He's playing awful because of it. A guy nicknamed Glitch couldn't get seperation from Austin...

    He's frustrated because he is badly hurt for the 3rd time in 4 playoff runs. I'm not condoning it but I do feel bad for the dude. At least he's showing heart as opposed to Jokic who seems to have realized the team, with both Mal and KCP extremely hobbled, doesn't have what it takes this year and...

    Listen, I'm team Kendrick thought and through and the gap is basically PTA vs. Zach Snyder in my book. But it seems pretty likely that the "mole" was feeding Kdot fake intel...

    He had 9 turnovers and 19 points on 19 shits bro. And I say that as somebody who was very critical of Jokic yesterday specifically because he had 7 turnovers. That said, I was high on Maxey coming out of the draft and he has blown by those expectations.

    I haven't. I hammered their over before the season and have been a Jdub truther since day one. And as I said above, I think they are likely a dynasty in the making. But the don't have a center which is a problem against Denver. And history repeatedly says that a team as young as they are needs...

    Jokic is the basketball version of Muhamed Ali-- he loves to rope a dope teams. Not worried about his effort level against the Lakers. As frustrating as it is to watch, the team is notorious for playing with their food until they have to turn it on. And in 4/5 games, they turned it on and had...
