Series Thread: 2) Nuggets vs 3) T'Wolves

[Duffman]

Nah not the same. I’m actually a sports fan. I don’t need to have my teams involved to follow sports.

Yes we can tell by your 54,000 posts in 4 years you live and breathe this sports forum. It’s your whole life.

Sorry I just get all of Embiid’s playoff exits confused because it happens so early every year.

Jokic really only struggles against 50 win teams, Embiid struggles against everybody.

He doesn’t but that’s ok. You’re very sad and hurt right now. Avs and Nuggets the same weekend. Rough. It could be worse. You could actually be a sports fan and not a front runner.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Embiid can't find the court often enough against any seed.

Sure he can. He just plays hurt.

I get it. You’re lashing out. You’re very angry.

 

[Duffman]

He doesn’t but that’s ok.

His playoff record says otherwise. The year you got swept by the Celtics in the first round, they had 48 wins, the year you lost to the Hawks in the second round they had 41 wins.

At least Jokic is consistent and when he loses its to a team with over 50 wins.

All I’m doing is just posting facts, you getting salty because you average 38 posts a day on this board and live your whole life here doesn’t change that the facts exist(I know you get scared of math easy so I hope you were able to finish that sentence).

And unlike Jokic, Towns beat a 50 win team in the playoffs. Playoffs are different when you don’t get an 8 seed, a 5 seed, a 7 seed, and an 8 seed. Better to be lucky than good. Jamal Murray is the real MVP of the Nuggets.

Yeah, the Nuggets need to do a better job of making sure those 50 win teams stop getting beat by 47/48 win teams so they can play them.

Yes yes yes. All of the narratives. It’s what the Jokic cult does.

Soooo very angry.

And it’s easily.

It is what it is. They got lucky that one time.

Well they say it’s better to be lucky than good, shame your team isn’t either.

Yep. Just so long as you know the truth.

I just think it's hilarious that you're so desperate to tear down Joker to try to prop up Embiid that you posted something that dumb.

 

[Duffman]

Yep. Just so long as you know the truth.

Hint hint, it’s a combination of both, playing a certain team at a certain time that you have no control over is luck, being good enough to make it and win is skill.

Raise your hand if your team has either won a championship or hell even been to the conference finals in the last 20 years

My hand is up, is yours?

I haven’t mentioned Embiid at all. I’m just pointing out that Joker is a paper tiger that gets carried by Jamal Murray.

Yep. I’m an Eagles fan and a Phillies fan too.

Yup, and I got the worst team in the NBA. So what does that metric mean?

Yep. I’m an Eagles fan and a Phillies fan too.

Oh I thought we were just talking basketball, either way Denver teams still have the advantage on you.

Meh. Doesn’t mean much of anything. People west of the Mississippi really aren’t sports fans.

This is a little disingenuous. Murray was getting wide-open shots all game based on the Wolves reacting to Jokic in the paint. MPJ was the major recipient of the Jokic effect against the Lakers. Jokic is the driving force of that team, other than game 5 he can't do it alone, he needs his teammates to capitalize on the opportunities he creates for them.
