Yeah. Could you imagine if the Celtics had ever lost in the semis? Let alone against a similarly talented team in a seven game series? https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/1983-nba-eastern-conference-semifinals-bucks-vs-celtics.html Bird put up 19 a game on 44 percent shooting, btw. Bird i...

If they beat the Mavs and Celtics, it would be a great ending.

I'd trade Banchero for Edwards in a freaking heartbeat. Artie, bless his misguided soul, is a moron.

Congrats to your boys.

On vacation and haven't watched much but checked scores. I think you can handle the Canucks. Oilers would be tougher but I like your chances.

If its the Canucks, I'll have to root against you. But if it is the Oilers, go Stars!!!

You're the only guy here who gets triggered by these discussions. I'll take Jokic. What he's done, with 'relative' ham and eggers is ridiculous. I couldn't watch tonight's game (on vacation and out, so didn't work out), but I watched the Pacers win this afternoon. I thought of your no defence, no co...

If you were to put Doncic and Da Joker on the same team in the NBA during the 1990's they would make a joke out of the NBA. Who is going to stop the Joker, who is going to stop Doncic? You watch hoops and aren't blinded by a "glory days" bias. Spread the gospel to your fellow boomers who ...

Another unbelievably stupid, unsupported take from atti, who should never try to talk hoops seriously.

Joker wouldn't be playing "any point on the floor" in the 90's - 00's... he'd be playing 90's-00's style/rules, meaning he'd be playing 10-12 feet-in, with a much more crowded paint and less spacing (making it harder to pass), not to mention the slower Pace (yielding fewer possessions, lo...

Shaq was an underrated passer out of the double team. He didn't naturally look to make plays when he got the ball in the post. He looked to score. If he got doubled, he was adept at passing out though, limiting the turnovers. Jokic can score brilliantly out of the post with an array of moves, great ...

Peak vs peak, I’m taking jokic over shaq. He’s stupid good. He’s not the force Shaq was in the post (while still being elite in that regard), but he’s better from everywhere else on the court and his shooting outside of 15ft changes the geometry of the court more than shaq ever did, he’s one of the...

You clearly have no clue... Shaq dominated a who's-who list of HOF Centers in the 90's/00's who were VASTLY SUPERIOR Defensive players than Joker. 90's-00's rules/style and Shaq would make Joker look like Greg Ostertag. You'd better stick to ice fishing, moose hunting, or some other sport they do u...

Heading on a trip tomorrow for 11 days, so I'll be on a little less. I'll be watching hoops whenever I can and commenting on stuff I watch.

If we're using the rules/style in place during the 90's-00's Shaq would dismantle Joker... younger Shaq would also take it to Joker even if we're playing today's style, although older/lazy Shaq would struggle. Any rules, Jokic wins. He's way, way more versatile. You and your "glory days" ...

He's already top 15. He's top 10 with a ring this year, albeit near the bottom of that tier.

He remains hugely underappreciated.

The size seemed to really bother Denver yesterday. Minnesota has guys who can bang with Joker and make his life difficult. In other words last night gave us a glimpse of what Joker (the heralded "best player in the game" in today's supposed "vastly superior NBA") would look like...

Lots of posters on this board remain in complete denial about the "Modern NBA"... especially meatball grizz, jizzin' all over himself over Joker when the man is clearly benefiting from today's weak and soft Defense: "The rules really favor offense, in general, right now” - 4-time Def...

Did Pippen ever guard the other team's five? And Rodman isn't going to scare Jokic. I think we had a thread a little bit ago talking about who the best person would be to guard Joker. I think the discussion ended at a vote for Ben Wallace. I have a hard time believing Ben Wallace is going to effect...
