By Omzz Go To PostDallas gonna do it againApparently PJ is going to bail them out again.
Choke
By Sharp Go To PostMaybe in a vacuum, but with the way OKC is built I think it's pretty perfect for him.
Yeah it's working but I think there's a ceiling on this type of play
Shameful OKC with the hack a lively again
yeah that was insane. I hope the Mavs can keep DJJ
By pilonv1 Go To PostChet just had his three blocked by Jones Jr wow
yeah that was insane. I hope the Mavs can keep DJJ
Oh no, a young team where the second/third options are a sophomore and a rookie might no be ready for the playoffs.
By Koko Go To PostOh no, a young team where the second/third options are a sophomore and a rookie might no be ready for the playoffs.
We don't like Shai.
Dray's hate of Gobert is inspirational.
Inside the NBA deserves to die for putting jackasses like Shaq and Dray on.
Dray can go fling turds elsewhere, Jokic would annihilate his ass aplenty.
It's pretty obvious whoever is the showrunner wants tongue in cheek commentary and not a serious analytical discussion.
Wonder if they’ll get bought out when they lose the nba
Or maybe they’ll just go to nba tv
End of an era coming next round
But yeah the plan was for Draymond to take over for Chuck lmao
The later years would’ve been a mess

Chuck has a out in his contract when they lose the NBA. Kenny has no value for them without the NBA. Shaq is a big enough name they might want to keep.
EJ already said he will stay at Turner.
the show is basically over.

Petty bitch.

I'll hate on the Thunder until Seattle gets their team back. And even then I'll still hate on them
By Koko Go To PostOh no, a young team where the second/third options are a sophomore and a rookie might no be ready for the playoffs.Naw, it's literally fuck the Thunder. 🤷🏾♂️
By n8 dogg Go To PostScust that Mavs are on the verge of the Finals. Kidd can’t keep getting away with this.they aren't really tho.
Denver will handle them with ease if they can close this out.
By n8 dogg Go To PostMeant WCF apollojeezi was surprised you didn't belive in your boy Nikola.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostAny predictions for Dallas/Denver and Knicks/Celtics?
Both need to close out but I reckon Knicks get pushed to game 7 by Indy.
Then Denver 4-1 Dallas and Celtics 4-1 Knicks.
By jjasper Go To Postyup. i just can't listen to the combined shitheadedness of he and shaq
Great offense beats great defense, there's nothing Rudy or anyone alive or dead can do about what Jokic is doing.

Not really no, but also Rudy’s the best rim protector in the league but only serviceable in space if that. AKA the real problem here is actually KAT being bad at both and getting torched by AG as a result.

nah bro he was doing some Neo in the Matrix shit. Gobert's got like a 12 foot standing reach and he's not blocking that. Look from where far ass out he took that shot from. That's not normal!
By jjasper Go To Post
Absolutely disgusting
Look at the longer clip he jumped into Kyrie's ankles too. They reviewed it but the call wasn't corrected lol.
By jjasper Go To PostThe Mavs challenged it and the refs upheld the call lmao

Pac posted the real answer to Jokic, just gotta shoot him. All jokes aside but they had to pick a poison and Aaron Gordon was the guy they were gonna live with scoring but he's doing more damage than they expected
By Christberg Go To PostNot really no, but also Rudy’s the best rim protector in the league but only serviceable in space if that. AKA the real problem here is actually KAT being bad at both and getting torched by AG as a result.The real problem is that "bad shots" are actually good shots when Jokic takes them. You have to be able to block him, deny him the ball, keep him out of the paint, or force a turnover somehow, if he gets anywhere near the basket and gets a shot off he's going to be efficient no matter how horrible the shots look. And no one can do any of those things consistently without doubling at the moment.

Kyrie and Luka will be doing the lords work beating him.

Jokic is INSANE and if you double him he’s going to find the open man every time. So you need an elite help side and rim protector so you can sit on both shoulders and recover fast which… ugh. Rudy works great there, KAT not so much.
Honestly this was the best crack I’ve seen at a workable defensive scheme for the Nuggets. It worked well for 2 games which is better than anyone else has done.
What center hunts Rudy on switches? THAT DUDE is who- nobody else.

Cuz that's the only other guy I can think of that does it and is successful at it.

It all comes down to his passing skill. If Jokic wasn't in the conversation as one of the best passers of all time (forget about for a big man passer, he's got that locked and sealed), you could get away with doubling him in the post. But he's not only willing he's approaching GOATed status at it. In fact, half his gameplan is coaxing you out to see if you'll double because he knows where to find the open man.

Theres like 3 guys that have ever played that have the strength, quickness and length needed to maybe guard him and one of them is dead. Wilt, Orlando Shaq and 2001 Shaq, that's it. I can't be mad at Rudy, hes not strong enough.
I would think maybe Victor would be able go do it in 2028 if he gains weight. But 1 v 1 everybody is food

He's utilizing Hakeem-level footwork and wrapping it up with a hook that would make Kareem go ???

Shaq could nudge him out by strength and size but Jokic's feet are so fucking good that he would get around him.
I remember talking up Jokic years ago on his rookie contract back on the old Slaent basketball podcast, 3 Man Break.
He wasn't doing this as a younger player. He showed flashes, but not to this maniac level. Somewhere along the way he got his stamina right and is just able to play at his own pace for 36-40 minutes and that was it.
