@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…
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.

Damn. Jokic already has 18 in the first.

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

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.

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

How tf does this guy look like George Gervin with some of his finishes! His touch near the basket is insane for a big guy.
Ends with 55, another Nuggets win. Worth tuning into every Denver game this season just for the Jokic show.

Windy was on TV today saying that he has cheated League Pass so he can watch the Joker play (he lives in the restricted area so doesn't get it usually).
His point was that there is one player in the NBA to watch right now - the Joker just constantly makes plays that are worth paying money to see.

So true.
It's the sheer diversity of his game that makes him so fun to watch. I even love how much effort he puts into rebounding, something that many with his offensive talents would shirk.

Cameron Johnson has been a big disappointment. Nuggets really need him firing to be a threat to OKC.

In their last game I saw him getting a bit shirty too calling for the ball. Nah bro, that’s not how this Nuggets team play. It’s unselfish move off the ball to get the ball.
Although Joker was selfish today with only the 6 assists

I don't expect anyone outside Sacramento would care about this (don't think many people in Sacramento do either tbh) but a day or so ago Doug Christie delivered what might be the cringiest rant ever. It was so riddled with cliches it sounded like one of those coach talks from a Hollywood movie.
Trying to call out the "haters" in the media and talk tough about how the Kings are gonna be improving real soon and the doubters are gonna be proven wrong. Then his team get slapped around at home two consecutive nights. You can't talk all that tough if your team can't back it up, that's the bottom line. I'm embarrassed for him.

@nonpartizan not unsurprising for Doug, who’s life has seen a lot of drama….
Their roster sucks. And the whole 4 guards plus Sabonis lineups, yeah nah. The LavIne contract 🤮

Yeah it's a terribly constructed team.
Christie is one of those guys who would not have made it into coaching anywhere but Sacramento. He lives local and has been a staple of the Kings for decades been the local radio guy and the colour commentator...... He's clearly out of his depth as an NBA hc.
The Kings are basically a train wreck and are apparently going to blow it all up and rebuild from scratch. They just never get traction.

Speaking of coaches just watched Will Hardys presser, enjoyable to listen to a coach that gives really thorough and thoughtful answers to questions. It's always good when they demonstrate some intelligence and are not overly reliant on churning out the usual platitudes.

Windy on the Joker:
Per 100 possessions, 151 for with him on the court, and giving up 104, 47 point rating!
Nuggets are second in the league for defense.
He leads in rebounds and assists.
Apparently he’s shooting at .770
Just a fucking magician.

And the best thing is he looks like a normal guy. He doesn't dominate with other worldly physical gifts
