@gt12 they had some pretty good pieces around him. The Kyrie acquisition, the Washington trades which they won big time, getting Lively in the draft (a perfect fit). Luka just had to be the superstar.
To be fair Fat Luka carried them to the finals....
With the other pieces playing D…

Got some Kings-Nuggets tickets at the last minute today. Jokic is ridiculous, would have had a triple double but for his teammates blowing some layups and open threes.
His touch around the basket is so, so nice and when the Kings cut the lead late in the 4th he just nails an all net three to stop the momentum . He dominates the game but makes it look effortless. Easily one of the most impressive athletes I've seen in person.

Should the Nuggets trade Jokic then?..

Jokic defence is fine. He has tremendous hands and gets in the passing lanes more than people give him credit. Plus the effort is there.

Al Horford is still kicking around I see - on the Warriors now. I swear, 5 years from now I will turn on a random NBA game and he will still be playing.
-
Spurs down by 5, 6 to play.
They really got to keep the warriors off the three point line.
-
Warriors win, 44 from Curry, he surpasses Alex English on the all-time scoring list.

He's my favorite player so I don't want to really rag on him, but he cheats so much on defense. He barely moves out of the paint at times and will often not even contest jump shots. His teammates obviously know he's vulnerable on D so they constantly sag off their guys to help him. But in saying all that, his offense overwhelmingly makes up for his defense. Doncic is in the same boat, although not to the same degree.

Wemby stacking the stat sheet isn't enough. Steph is never going away is he?

Damn. Jokic already has 18 in the first.

25 now. I hope he pushes on and goes off for 60+.
His career high is 61.

Steph was on a minutes restriction yesterday against the Thunder, but not tonight. Plus Jimmy didn’t play yesterday so was fresh for this game.
Kerr’s rotations were interesting too. Kuminga not really used as he has been this season. I prefer when they start Moody for that second shooting threat from the get go.

How tf does this guy look like George Gervin with some of his finishes! His touch near the basket is insane for a big old lump.
