Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Have read the 2016 thread and I've seen enough evidence to confirm there was such an avatar bet (although without that initial confirmation or defined terms/length of time). There may be something I'm missing or forgetting about why he never did it at the time and waited 7 years (perhaps he was just embarrassed at the time to have trashed the GOAT only to have LeBron have the greatest 3 game stretch in NBA history to beat the Warriors), but I'm not about to go looking at any other threads.

Given the lack of terms, I'm prepared to replace my longtime avatar for the duration of the Finals. The Chalmers can return after it is over.

I assumed it was a pride month thing. Who knew?

Denver’s other guys need to pitch in or they will lose this game

Sounds like Game 2.

KC_Connection · 06-07-2023, 07:39 PM

Jokic with an excellent flop to end the half. One of the best currently in the league at it.

Jamal Murray is dominating. They'll be fine if that continues.

Almost like he learned from a certain Laker.

Don’t think Jokic/Murray can keep the scoring pace up in the 2nd half. They need Porter and KCP to contribute

KC_Connection · 06-07-2023, 07:59 PM

Jamal just destroying them. Miami simply can't keep up if he's playing at this level.

staylor26 · 06-07-2023, 08:02 PM

KCP, Gordon, and especially MPJ have been terrible. Not just this game either.

As long as Jokic and Murray show up like this, it looks like it won't matter. The gulf in talent between these teams is wide.

**dirk digler** · 06-07-2023, 08:14 PM

62 pts at nearly the end of the 3rd is pretty bad. For most teams that is one half

This is what happens when your #2 scoring option is Bam Adebayo and your #3 scoring option is (???).

Don't know how Cody Zeller is still getting minutes in this series.
