Oh yea forgot about that one, true.
His play disgusts me. Imagine being that physically imposing and marrying it with that playstyle
He’s the big version of Harden.
We need more Cade Cunningham talk in here. He'll make one of the all nba teams this year and is rapidly becoming one of my favorite young players in the league. Hopefully Detroit can make some noise in the playoffs.
Yeah, he was amazing. An in today game as you say, he would be even better.
Yeah, I agree. Top 5 is me watching few videos of him again this morningI also have Steph in top 10 and on the verge of that Wilt/Timmy company. Maybe some won't agree, but he is phenomenal. Way ahead of Durant for me
Shaq should be in top 10 discussion, and Bill Russel is ahead of timmy and also wilt.
So agree. He’s been phenomenal!
Detroit have a super cool young core going for them.
Man DeAndre Jordan is so painful to watch. Couldn't Denver find a better back-up center so those non-Jokic minutes aren't a complete disaster?
I felt sorry for him last season. He was on the verge of tears after some of their losses during that insanely long losing streak. He’s could improve his efficient but he’s a very reliable scorer now and he’s a steady source of creativity and offense. I think only Trae Young and Jokic are averagjng more assists than him.
That rebound where he swung it back to the open Boston player was a thing of beauty
Nuggz have no chance. The tactics against them are so easy: overwhelm Murray on defense, crowd the paint and let Braun and Westbrick shoot threes. Last year they beat stronger Boston twice, this year they lost twice to Boston.
Jokic has the best year of his career, not cause he actually became better - it is because he has to do more. His body is slowly giving up and when the playoff arrives, he might be spent.

6 straight wins for the Lakers, mostly against conference rivals, while spanking the Clippers in consecutive games, and up to #2 in the West. Not too bad.
This question goes further than the Nuggets, so many teams lack a second center, someone that can reliably play 10 to 15 minutes. It makes no sense.
We’d be happy to let go of Jock Landale for a can of coke. He gave us solid back up minutes last season. He’s just a hype man these days but I’m sure he could do a solid job for someone else.
The Lakers’s defense looks much more impressive, with great intensity and significant improvements in many areas. They look formidable, even though they have moments of collapse during the game.
For me, it’s between 8-12 for Kobe. I think outside of ‘the holy trinity’ in this goat debate discussion, it could go in a lot of ways to answer the question.
One very interesting aspect of this conversation is whether Dr. J would make the top 12 if we included his ABA accomplishments.

Lakers really going strong, might be a West favorite already, given the form?
Ahahhahaah
Come be serious
Thunder are winning the west hands down
Finals will be Thunder vs Celtics

The lad can't even spell Wolves properly. 
I would make some bold comments about the Knicks. But once the playoffs are there, our starting five is most likely so exhausted, that we lose 4-1 in the first round.
Up to 6th. Hopefully can stay out of the play in.
So, Kyrie is injured now.
What kind of voodoo magic is going on at the Mavs organization
What kind of voodoo magic is going on at the Mavs organization
“The Mavericks said season tickets will go up by an average of 8.61% next season and the increase is due to "ongoing investments in the team and fan engagement.”
Anyone have any idea what the Mavs are talking about? What investment? What engagement? Did the owner get married?
People will swallow this sh*t for their politician of choice, but not for their bb team.

They probably calculated that they'll have less fans next season with Luka gone and maybe kyrie to follow so jacked up prices to make up the difference.
The good thing for the Mavs is that he will trigger his player option. The bad news is that the trade is definitively lost, they aren't winning a ring with their duo of star.
Amazing how everything that can go wrong is going wrong for Mavs fans.
Well, I did not believe in God until God dished some heavy punishment onto Mavs for mistreating Luka. Wow. They are done, completely done. Worse trade in history is getting worse and worse.
Nico and Kidd deserve it for sure.
Luka about to dominate at Lakers (this thought makes me sick), while Mavs are a laughing stock.

Most GMs, if not all of them, come up through the ranks as an NBA player, coach, personnel guy, scout, etc. I see Harrison came from Nike with zero NBA personnel work and never sniffed a roster spot as a player. How often does that happen in North American sports where a man is hired to run an organization with zero pedigree within the league (or on a collegiate level* at minimum)?
He may get the chop this summer, probably rightfully so.
*Guys like Jimmy Johnson got the keys to a franchise in their first job in the league but he at least had been a head coach at the collegiate level for a decade leading up to. Dick Vermeil had a 14-year hiatus from the NFL when he returned as run the Rams football operations but he did have prior head coaching experience in the league.

Don’t think he’ll be fired soon. That would mean that the owners have to admit that they are clueless clowns. So he has to stay a little while longer.
Robert Wood Johnson V is the only example that I have in mind.
Even after a month the trade feels completely surreal, it is one of the few times where with a trade or a transfer that every single person has criticised from the moment it happened. Just completely wild to destroy a franchise like that.
Completely predictable and criminal management:
On a related note, what the feck is Nick Nurse doing???
Again, very harsh and more than questionable that it was purely Mavs decision and only sport decision. The Mavs fans sure didn't deserve this.
Just crazy is it, from that trade till now, the amount of backfiring holy shit, Nico might not be safe but tbh doubt he gives a shit, he has a spot that waits for him anytime he wants in Lakers org, all part of the plan.
Luka
Just to point out, Nico was the guy that botched the Nike meeting with Steph Curry.
Magic
Lebron just hit 50,000 points after winning western conference player of the month for February having averaged 29,10,7 shooting 55% from the field and 44% from 3. Monster
Clippers seson spiralling down hard, in the category "things you love to see". Some 20-odd games left, I wouldn't mind seeing the Blazers in the play-in spots instead of the Clippers or the Mavs (who look done anyway).
Wolves v Suns
Kings v Blazers
Would be a fun play-in for the West.
Heading towards the middle of March and we still have two teams with only 10 and 11 losses, don't think that has happened a lot of times in recent seasons? On one hand they'll have the cushion to rest some players in the beginning of April unless they're worried about home-court advantage in the Finals, on the other hand you also don't want too lose all momentum.
