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...

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...

Re: Ralph Sampson... Wemby before Wemby

JJJ would break the game in the 90s and isn’t even an all star now. But he isn’t better than a guy who started 5% of his games. Like I said, either an idiot, or dishonest, there’s no other option. From the Grizz alone, both JJJ and Brandon Clarke absolutely shit all over Carr. The difference in ski...

Carr = better than 75% of the Bigs in the NBA today. :asskicking: https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/carran01.html Surely you're talking about some other Antoine Carr and not this guy... right? In 16 seasons, he started 168 games, and only twice did he start more than half of his games ...

TDK wonders how come the BWGC doesn't give us a breakdown of Wemby's Big Man competition today, the way they scruitinized and criticized Sampson's Big Man competition from the mid 80s.. back when the NBA was actually a Big Man game, and the league was STACKED with all-time great/HOF C/PF talent??? ...

Re: Ralph Sampson... Wemby before Wemby

I thought Ralph Sampson was overrated, an underachiever. And should now way in hell be in the HOF. Bobby Knight told an assistant coach he was the biggest pussy (player) he'd ever seen. IIRC, he coached him in the Pan Am games? But he was definitely an all-star caliber big right out of the gate. Fr...

He's in the HOF more for his collegiate days than NBA days. His rookie season was his best season, and he gradually got worse and worse until he was dogshit.

Re: Grizz???????? Panthers, Bruins.

I would have called it off, but the inconsistencies on goalie interference make it totally unpredictable. Bennet clearly shoves the defenseman into the goalie and that changed everything.

Re: Aaron Gordon Is Beasting

By the way, Gordon is having by far his 3 most efficient seasons since being teamed up with Jokic. His TS% has gone from 53% in his first 7 seasons with a peak of under 55% to approximately 61% since teaming up with Jokic. That is despite worsening percentages from the line and very mildly worse fro...
