Re: Wemby first NBA rookie to ever make all-defensive first team
Yes, they do, and yes it IS. Bush-league gibberish. Fact remains, you doN't know more about the game today than the League, the Players and the Coaches themselves. Suck it up buttercup... be a man and admit you're wrong. You wouldn't know tge first thing about what it takes to be a man. You're a ch...

This is a fact, no matter how much it upsets the BWGC.

Re: Has The Joker Lost A Little Luster With Last Night's Loss?
To answer the OP, it obviously depends on where you were ranking him. Joker had an average game score of 26.2 in this series. Larry Bird in 84 and 86 Finals was under 24. It's funny to watch boomers trip over themselves to bash Joker directly after playing a series better than what most Boomers wou...

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.

Kinda rooting for Minny going forward.
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...

Re: Shaq vs Jokic
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 ...

Re: Shaq vs Jokic
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...

Re: Shaq vs Jokic
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 ...

Re: Shaq vs Jokic
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...

Re: Shaq vs Jokic
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.

Re: Shaq vs Jokic
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" ...

Re: Where are we ranking Nikola Jokic as of right now ALL TIME?
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.
