White people rule...

• Nikola Jokic is the MVP (proving white people are better at B-ball)
• Tom Brady is the GOAT (proving that white people are better at football)
• Uh, David Beckham is the best at soccer.

I don’t think he is an automatic, 3 in a row is rare air

Not automatic but about 95% sure he gets it. 3 in a row is rare but a center avg a triple double is pretty damn rare. Only way i see him not winning is if denver collapse and end up as the 3 seed or something

Morning all.

Heading to St Louis later today when the wife is done with work.

Hey, Deej. Nice logo ...

Go Chiefs. Say it with me...

Meh, the wife.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bet is up, Mecca....needs to be approved first.

 

[thunderc]

Meh, the wife.....

I really hope you thought to use a cow as your logo with the vegans

 

[DJ Fieri]

2nd round exit again I would bet

Yeah, me too.

They always underachieve it seems like.

I actually was going to.....hadn't made it as far as getting an avy.

LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Be sure to get some BBQ.

You think you really had to tell me that?

Going to visit the man who raised the wife.....he not doing so great.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah, me too.

They always underachieve it seems like.

They have actually yet to underachieve in the post season. If anything they have always overachieved or got eliminated where most expected them to

2nd round exit again I would bet

Maybe so.

Doesn’t make his accomplishments any less impressive.

He can stack accolades that he has earned. Not going to get himself into any best big man of all time debates without titles.

They have had Jokic and a good supporting cast for a while and yet to fully achieve what they should.

 

[tlance]

Yeah he doesn't learn. Numbers are the numbers. Avg a triple double at center while being efficient and finishing #1 in your conference and possibly in the league is going to get you the MVP every single time

He won MVP 2 years ago by default because all the other contenders missed significant time.

Since then, each season has been better than the one before making him impossible to ignore in MVP debates.

What should they have achieved?

This is the first season they will have any level of post season expectations.

An exit before WCF would be a major let down.

Prior years that wasn’t the case.

They never been title contenders or expected to win the west. This was the first time for that then the suns acquired KD

The Lakers only have 5 games vs the EC....

Plenty of games to move up if they do what they should.

They were talking about that on BSPN. BASICALLY they were saying that if the Lakers can't win 16 of these final games they don't have a shot to get in the playoffs...

*Looks around for her*

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal longshot but it's still possible we win 48 games.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Was that his 1st game? He's always been a solid passer as well as a lights out shooter.

Think he played PG early in his career the 1st time with the Clipps.....didn't he?

2nd game.

He was the 2 first time around.
