lol Brooks

 

One of those series where you want both teams to lose

 

We can only hope.

 

if you told me twenty games into this season that the Lakers would advance to the semis and the Clippers would be out in one round

I'd have believed you because fuck my life

 

Basketball is not really a sport I’ve ever enjoyed or cared about!!

 

What did I ever do to you?

but seriously I don’t think anyone in this thread has ever watched the Nuggets play!!! Except for @GrantCloud

 

How dare you. I watched exactly one Nuggets game. It was the last one lol

 

That one doesn’t count imo

 

They were still really good in their one loss so far.

Denver has one exploited weakness (zero rim protection) and even then they're hard to beat.

 

Haha I know. They just don’t strike me as legit title threat. I’m fueled by narratives though.

 

Yeah but the narrative about them isn’t even a valid one. Before this year, their core of Jokic, Murray, MPJ, and Gordon played like 10 games together due to various injuries, and they finally got a competent 2 in KCP

it’s really hard to win when your backcourt is Facu and Austin Rivers

 

Nuggets/Suns is gonna be a wild one

 

The narrative I'm running off is "Tapered off down the stretch because they found the MVP discourse a distraction" lol

 

Maybe maybe maybe maybe

 

That was a clown comment for sure but I also think Booth was half joking. I think the logical reason why they "tapered off down the stretch" is that the 1 seed was firmly in-hand and they were resting guys a bit to stay healthy going into the playoffs

 

98/100 first place votes. Well deserved

 

he's great

 

They gonna fuck around and wait until Philly is down 0-2 to Boston to announce Embiid?

 

who was the second? i only know of andy larsen voting walker

 

Jaylen Brown most consistent Celtic

 

New York and Boston fans in harmonious union bonded by hatred of Trae Young

 

he stinks!
