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

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...

Re: Just making my normal check-in thread.
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.

Re: Jokic last night....
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...

Re: Jokic last night....
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...

Re: Jokic last night....
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...

Re: Jokic last night....
Betta than Bird And that's not even a shot at Bird... He can bully you in the post. He can finesse it off the glass like few have ever been able to do. He can pass from the elbow better than anyone I have ever seen and he can shoot it from deep when it is called for. I thought Shaq was the best C I...

Jokic last night....
Against the number 1 ranked defense in the NBA in 2023-2024, and against the DPOY Gobert, he put up 40, 7 and 13. Didn't matter if it was Gobert, Towns or Reid, he just shit all over whoever was guarding him. The 40 was on 15 of 22 shooting, including 2 of 3 from deep on late in the shot clock attem...

Re: The Celtics cakewalk to the finals this season would make Michael Jordan blush
Artie, you are giving us other Magic fans a really bad look.
We are on an upward trend and next year, with a little more seasoning, we just might make the second round. Let's be happy with the great progress we made this season and the continuing development of our core.

Re: Aaron Gordon Is Beasting (REDUX)
Check out the change in his efficiency since he joined Jokic. It is crazy how much it has improved, and that is despite weaker FT shooting. His TS% has skyrocketed pretty much to the day he joined Jokic. If the Nuggets were a car he would be the alternator, not the biggest or most important compone...
