The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

Murray been the key all year. People forgot how good he is but this team only goes as far as he takes them

 

[HIM]

Suns looking to sprain some knees. Get these scumbags the out of here

Get these punk *****es outta here

SEENT this.

Seems like these NHL expansion teams find success immediately.

I believe the Las Vegas Knights made IT to the Stanley Cup Finals in their inaugural season and have been in the playoffs ever year since.

Now the Kraken are in and have taken the defending Stanley Cup champs to a Game 7 in the opening round.

Yeah expansion drafts seem pretty favorable in the NHL. Seattle didn't draft was well as LV did but it's cool to see them compete and have the whole city behind them

KD left Ben Simmons for this. lol .


Ben Simmons won

Respect to Jamal Murray for not being afraid to let the chest hair show. That’s what we called being a “real man” in the 1980s. aepps20 knows what I’m taking about (even though Murray is Canadian).

 

[aepps20]

Shout out to the Kraken for going 7 against the Champs

They’ve played well but Eberle should’ve been suspended for that dirty hit last game. Cogliano has a broken kneck now but mackinnon got suspended for a lesser hit.

malone needs to pull his starters as well

Why Nuggets starters still in

 

[ill steelo]

Why aren't the Suns at least PnR'ing

addict4sneakers can tell us if he still has synergy but I’m sure Jokic has been the roll man about twice as often as Ayton

Book/KD isos for 2 pointers & limited free throws will have Phoenix losing just on the math.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Might be a gentleman sweep this series

A gentleman's sweep is a loss followed by 4 straight wins. The 4 wins is the sweep, letting the other team get a win first is the 'gentleman'

I've long thought that Denver had zero chance against Phoenix, it's absolute horrible defensive matchup for Jokic, and adding KD obviously makes that worse.

but I think the suns lack of depth and continuity, and the lack of 3 point attempts I think gives the Nuggers a real shot.

The only path to victory is the Nuggets out scoring them, and to do that they will need an all time performance from Jokic,
he either has to vaporize Ayton and/or destroy them with the two man game with Murray.

but he doesn't look quite right, his touch is off with that wrist injury
and Ayton has done a pretty good job on him historically.

they also gotta out math them with 3 point volume, and play at a fast past, especially at altitude.

as much as im rooting for Jokic I gotta go Suns in 6.

Aging like Milk

At least Jokic and Murray. Posthaste.

 

[pmatic]

I think the Nuggets can pull the starters now.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Malone wilding for not pulling the starters after he outcoached Monty tonight

 

[picasso swerve]

Why are the starters still in.

I've noticed this term has kinda lost its actual meaning. I see ppl call anything 4-1 a gentleman's sweep now

 

[aepps20]

Why Nuggets starters still in

Because Mike doesn’t trust them with a lead

 

[dasitmane]

Suns having to play their starters heavy minutes at altitude was never going to end well

 

[picasso swerve]

Isnt a gentlemans sweep the other way around. Win 3, lost the 4th win the last.

 

[James_O]

Why are the starters still in.

Nugs coach afraid they fina blow a 20 point lead
