Last night Jokic became the 1st player in league history to have 500 pts, 250 rebs & 150 asts in a single post season.

And one more thing.

The Joker has never had a teammate that made an all star team or an all defensive team.

He's better than Kobe!

Jokic > Embiid

Oh, well thats easy.

Btw the winking was supposed to be on your post, not the earlier comment. But nice job seeing through the sarcasm.

Murray has had at least 10 assists in all four Finals games. No player had done that before.

I should have said there are none I don’t like rather than few…I can’t say much about Reggie Jackson as I don’t know what je is like off the court, but hasn’t made any contribution. The same could be said for Thomas Bryant. I don’t expect either will be on the team next year.

Some have had 4 in a final series, but none in their first 4 games of a series.

Who comes up with all these stats anyway, AI?

Thanks for the correction.

As far as who comes up with all the stats, good question.

I figured as much because of the class human you are 24/7.

If you are a Jokic fan this is a great watch:

(A bit irritating for the long Draft Kings ad)

I’m happy for a lot of Nuggets players - there are few I don’t like either as a player or a person. But I’m especially happy for Michael Malone. He may not be the sharpest knife in the kitchen with in game changes - but he really has built a culture built on trust, respect, and unselfishness. I noticed the other day that Payton was praising their unselfishness and speculating that they liked each other as teammates. I’ve often thought that fans have unfairly criticized him, and hoping that this will temper that some.

i played pickleball with Malone as few times this past month. He plays at one of my local courts.

Did not recognize him at first but my son pointed him out. My son has been to his house.

If you talk to him - tell him to stop coaching in Terry Cloth pajamas.

1 more end it tonight

Hero to play for heat tonight. Not sure it moves the needle much but it is more firepower.

Congrats Nuggets Time to me to buy a hat

I bought this after the WCF and it arrived a few days later but didn’t even open it until after we won tonight as to not jinx us.

Amazing run! The game tonight felt like a mud wrestling match, but shows Nuggets could win in different ways.

 

[PumpFake]

Load up the bandwagon! Can someone pull me up? Do Alex English and Kiki Vandeweghe still play for the team? Mahmoud, Abdul Rauf?

Ya, it was pretty cool watching all the ways the Nuggets won throughout the postseason. They overpowered Minn, scored with phoenix and ran the Lakers out of the building. Then with the heat they had to grind games out, which the heat are built for, but the Nugs were up for that type of series as well. Its a testament to how the Nuggets are built. Their defense only got better as the playoffs went along and was very good throughout silencing their only perceived weak spot. Congrats to the Nuggets!
