The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[Mecca]

Good for them. I know the Wizards gave them trouble when they played about 2 weeks ago. Them 14 win teams are tough man.

Are we really trolling a team that has been to the finals 6 times, despite only existing a quarter of a century?

Because, if we are, I’m out this bitch considering my team has only made it to the conference finals ONCE.

Thoughts on Keegan Murray?

He needs to be……MORE.

Lives & die by the 3 ball far too much for me

I was just talking this year.

If we can’t ever talk about teams that have had success in the past then Lakers and Celtics fans are pretty much untouchable. And no one wants that.

Some of you trade gurus start putting something together. Giddey has had a triple double every time he has played in Madison square garden. Make it good.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

No one‘s saying he is, but he’s also not playing with an 8 time NBA All Star either.

The main thing Luka seems to have going for him is points and people think it’s crazy that he’s not a higher seed, people are comparing him to the season Jokic won MVP as a 6th seed completely ignoring who both players had on their squad in those years, it’s not close.

Jokic is averaging a double-double and is trailing Luka by .8 assists a game, has a better STOCK and better TS%, and clears him in Defensive rating.

Who cares what Kyrie did 10 years ago

Murray is just as good now.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I’m assuming you would pick your guy, so would I.

But, individual stats says Luka is the better pg / player, SGA the better shooter.

We don’t even need to mention defense…lol

If we didn't have zone Jokic would not be a "good" defender

SgA is clearly better than Doncic though

 

[Pastafazul]

Only saw Knicks OKC last 5 minutes and dam proud of the Knicks .

Got to hit them free throws tho

Don’t know why precious wasn’t on Shai but whatever. Great finish

WTF happened to Robinson now, dude is soft

Knicks healthy gonna be tough to beat

 

[thunderc]

Just heard Isaiah Thomas say something smart. Honestly I had given up hope but he actually did. They were talking about Embiid coming back and Thomas said the way the games are being called now is going to help him more than any other player in the league.

@Mecca do you hate Angel Reese as much as I do?

She seems like one of those chicks that talk to their gf on speakerphone so everyone can hear their conversation. I bet she does this daily. Even though she can totally just buy ear buds she talks loudly in lines and makes everyone listen to her bull shit.

 

[trojanfan12]

I think that you’re a peculli oil stinkin granola eatin hipster with weird facial hair front runner with a low sports IQ typical of the Denver sports fan.

If you aren’t an asshole when you show up at LSU it doesn’t take long to become one.

Murray is just as good now.

Kyrie was an All Star 2 of the past 4 seasons.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Kyrie was an All Star 2 of the past 4 seasons.

Murray has been to the conf finals or champion in his last 2 playoffs

Kyrie hasn't made it to the ECF in 8 years.

Yet the NBA thinks Kyrie is better and Murray isn’t an All-Star.

 

[tlance]

If he did thats fn bush league

It is part of Giddey’s story, like it or not.

 

[tlance]

Whatever you need to tell yourself to explain away the fact that 2 of Jokic’s 3 MVPs will be a result of the real MVP not playing enough games in the eyes of the voters because of injury. Better to be lucky than good. Maybe Jamal Murray will be back soon so the Nuggets can get back to winning games and make Jokic’s numbers not be hollow anymore.

Cmon man.

Availability is the best ability.

Can’t win MVP missing 20+ games with or without the rule.

No asterisk needed.

 

[tlance]

Kyrie hasn't made it to the ECF in 8 years.

Nah, can’t do that.

When Kyrie played with the best player in the league he made 3 Finals in a row and won a title.

Can’t use team accomplishments to measure who is better between guys who aren’t even the best players on their team.

Amazingly, as good as Kyrie is, he has been #2 just about everywhere he has been.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

What is your point here dude

Jokic has done fuck all without Murray in the playoffs. He is every bit as valuable as Kyrie.

You trying to downplay that for your love affair for Nikola Jokic's ballsack is a tad much

He was literally on a team with Kevin Durant man.

I didn't say Jamal Murray was better. I said he's every bit as valuable to Denver as Kyrie is...well anywhere.

Do we need to refer to his playoff stats?

OK I will

26 ppg 7 dimes on 40 percent from 3.

That's elite.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Let us also recall the Celtics went to the ECF without Kyrie. Then the same core did it again 3 more times.

The year with Kyrie?

2nd rd exit.

This is Kyries year to prove he's not just living off LeBrons flowers.

But I will be damned to sit here and allow someone to pass off Denvers playoff success entirely onto Jokic like it wasn't Murray carrying them many a game.
