He deserves that for his Skip Bayless-like hate of Jokic, which has never made any sense and appears solely designed for TV.

Eh. Unless they can find another legitimate second or third superstar some of their key pieces have a ton of injury history built up already.

The Warriors' time is most likely coming to an end given Steph's age, but Denver was fortunate they didn't have to play them this year. The screen game they run would give (and has given) Jokic fits defensively.

Jokic is just terrible for the NBA. Nobody really wants to watch this shit. I just watch for a bit and turn the channel. Just not an engaging style of basketball TO ME.

It’s a bad Finals but it has absolutely nothing to do with Jokic and everything to do with the Heat having no business making it this far.

I actually find it quite fun to watch Denver play basketball. Despise watching teams with players like Harden that want to ISO on offense all ****ing game long.

Ditto.

I would much rather watch a fundamentally sound team play like DEN, than watch a team play iso ball, or worse yet, chuck up missed 3s endlessly.

They've been a fun watch this year, their style stands out in the modern NBA. Last night was actually one of Denver's sloppiest games I watched all year, but it didn't matter.

It was like watching KU sleepwalk their way to a 15 point win against Assberg State in a December.

It did look a little sloppy, but I haven't seen DEN play this season outside of the playoffs, so I wasn't sure. But they play solid defense, rotate well, run actual plays, and take the points the other team gives them, mostly.


MIA kind of looks like they're playing pickup ball.

It was definitely atypical. They are usually sound and Braun perhaps couldn’t have gone to a better situation. Their coach values defensive fundamentals as high as anything and has given him more minutes for that reason than perhaps other coaches would because of his hesitance to shoot the 3 this year.

Yeah, they remind me a little of the Stockton/Malone Jazz or the Tim Duncan Spurs, in terms of how fundamentally sound they seem to be.

:facepalm:

It doesn't matter the subject, your takes are always ****ing terrible.

It's not Jokic's fault that the best the East had to offer was an 8th seed that had no business making it to the Finals.
