Tough to see the Knicks lose last night. Let’s hope another winning streak starts there next game

Very difficult stance on last nights performance.

you can’t win them all , and sometimes a loss is needed to wake a team up.

let’s hope that was a wake up call .

had a playoff type atmosphere, the Suns want to prove they are the best by beating the hottest team , not best team relax people, and the Knicks were riding a 9 game winning streak proving they belong.

they shot , Knicks, 70% from field in 1st Q, had good leads entire 1st half , but could not hold... did not watch entire 2nd.. what caused the collapse was reckless play with the leads and mindless turnovers which come playoffs, you ain’t gonna have a long stay if thcontinues...

and, despite Randles lackluster play 1st half, Knicks were up double digits several times , but as I said the Suns took advantage of the knick mistakes.

thibs, has done a great job, but that schitt will turn fast on him PS when teams are out for blood.

That doesn't mean the Nuggets would make the playoffs in the loaded WC without their best player. So you're just going to ignore what would happen to some teams that are in the playoff race without their best player? You really think the Blazer make the playoffs without Dame? Now that deserves a

Gary Harris? He now plays for the Magic, he was part of the Gordon trade. Milsap is it at the end of his career. He's not even the player he was 2 seasons ago. He's averaging 8.9 ppg, his lowest point total since '07-'08 season. Morris isn't a starter and barely averages double digits. Will Barton is a 30 year old SF that only averages 12.7 ppg. And while MPJ has alotta potential he still has some work to do before he's ready to take that next step in his career.

It's funny you said "stop it".

What;'s funny is you can't take off your homeristic goggles.....

Millsap can still play, he's on the bench because of all the frontcourt talent Denver has.....he is only averaging the fewest ppg because he is coming off the bench.....

Barton averages 12.7ppg because he doesn't get the shots others do.

Talking shit about MPG? LOL. 18.5ppg and 7.6rpg.....without Jokic, he'd average even more.

No what's funny is all you got left is to to call me a homer because I don't agree with you. I guarantee I've watched more Nuggets games than you. MPJ's D is still lacking. And he's not good at distributing the ball yet, he averages 1.0 assist per game. But keep fooling yourself into thinking MPJ is a complete player.

Now back to Jokic. I've told you why I think he deserves the MVP this year. You don't agree, that's fine. But to call me a homer because we have different opinions makes you look absurd.

So basically what you're saying is whatever you say is always correct. And anyone that disagrees with you on anything is wrong. Get off your high horse before you fall off and hurt yourself.

The Nuggets would still have

MPJ

Gordon

Barton

Monte Morris

Millsap

Gary Harris

Stop it.

That isn't exactly a murder's row of talent.

I think CP has been great for the Suns because he is providing leadership but let's not pretend that the team is bereft of talent. Booker, Ayton, and Bridgers are all good to great. Darios, Smith, Crowder and Galloway all provide some experience and value.

I would be fine if CP won it but the reality is that Jokic is going to win i.

I have returned!!!!

Married.

Congrats.
Thanks for the running updates, but you left out a few things...

Is this your first marriage/engagement?
Are her sisters single and desirable?
Were you nervous on your wedding night?
Did a Vegas hooker proposition you? (always happens to me)
Any luck at the casinos?
Did you swear, "To Death Do Us Part"?
Do you think the, "Once yearly, on your birthday" joke, is a joke?
Planning on kids? How many?
Do you have a "regular guys night" in effect or planned? Are they married?
Have you ever been banned by a 'SportsHoopla'?

I'm not trolling, just curious.
Thanks.

Your Knicks gotta be the surprise of the league. Sure you're enjoying it. But if Thib's doesn't get COY it'll be a shame.

Lol, wait what?

a surprise? I’m not!

a coach that holds his players accountable, gets them to buy in , no one should be surprised.

Remember your Swami said the knick roster was a challenged roster that no coach could make difference..

well, as Judge Smails said ... ‘ I m. Waiting!!!

Oh, I know Jokic is going to win it. IMO, CP is more valuable to his team.

"no coach could make difference"

So Thib's hasn't made a difference? Interesting.

You ripped Thibs every game before. Now that you realize what we always knew you are riding his jock. You're a clown.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Where would the Nuggets be without Jokic though? The reason he's going to win it is because the other candidates missed a lot of games.

Without any injuries the MVP race would probably be between Embiid, Lebron and Harden

Problem is, he's not the best player on his own team

 

[DJ Fieri]

But, he is the most valuable since they missed the playoffs last season without him.

Technically you can say the Suns started their great run after the COVID break last year, before they signed CP3. They went 8-0 in the bubble
