Jokic has all the tricks too.
He committed several subtle quick hooks of Landale and Bizzy tonight and they were so quick the refs didn’t see them.
He really is the best player in the NBA right now, and LeBron and AD playing every other day at that altitude will wreck them like it did to Book and KD.

So think this had more with Suns being worse and not very deep at full strength, and then only getting worse and having even less depth for 2/3 of the series.

They should be the betting favorite at this point.

The Nuggets are getting 4 days rest, and the Lakers/Warriors will be coming off a long grueling series and will have to travel and play at altitude.
Denver is gonna go to the Finals because they aren't losing at home.

I'd take Denver in 6 over the Warriors and in 5 over the Lakers.
I'm buying all the Denver stock right now!

Denver has to win it this year lol... I mean... this is... it for them.
The Suns had a shot with a different team 2 years ago, and missed it, and that team never got close again... hence the KD trade.
If the Nuggets don't win it this year, that WILL be a failure.

This seems to be the MO of teams that are led by Durant. Maybe not “quit”, but just lacking the will to win. Durant rode the coattails of Curry to get his rings. simple as that.
Durant is still the guy hiding in the corner on OKC so Russ gets the blame.

Jokic v. Embiid would really be a nice Finals. The actual MVP and the guy who stole it from him b/c the media got tired of awarding the MVP correctly (the Lebron Effect)

blame Booker more than Durant. Booker is the leader of that team and he’s let that team get down by 30 two years in a row.
I don’t blame either since they’ve played less than 20 games together…but Booker isn’t the leader of that team. It’s supposed to be Paul, but he’s a bitch & is washed.
We’ll see Phoneix next year. Ayton and Paul gone, if they want to spend the money they’ll have role players like Grant lining up to play with them.

Lol, he’s got 2 finals mvp while you’re dickriding a guy who got out of the first round how many times without Durant?
Westbrook is a great person and not a winning basketball player but sunk cost fallacy has you still saying dumb shite.

It would be poetic justice to see Jokic win Finals MVP in the same year the media's white guilt stole the regular season MVP from him.

That's all KD has after his OKC days. Two titles with arguably the greatest team of all time.
KD is still a bitch which is almost unfathomable considering how talented he is.
After choking the 3-1 lead away, and choke away he did, he was just as bad if not worse than Russ those last 3 games, KD:
Ran and joined the warriors then freaked out over the response to it
Created burner twitter accounts to bash his old team.
I don't care how well he plays on the court, he's a fricking incredible talent and before the injuries was pacing to be a top 10 all time player, he is a fricking chode off the court that can't handle criticism and acts like a 12 year old. There's a reason why the old heads clown on him. He's soft

1. That’s all he has is quite dismissive.
2. The GSW pre Durant was not the greatest team of all time. That weren’t even better than the Cavs in 15 & got lucky because of injuries to two of the big 3 were injured. Cavs should’ve won both years. The NBA is built around dynamic wings, the warriors had Harrison Barnes. Wiggins is a giant upgrade from him, and Durant was an astronomical upgrade.
Durant off the court doesn’t really bother me, considering that I, among a few thousand others, post anonymously on a message board. Often we express opinions we wouldn’t share on our FB page, at our jobs, church or schools.
Is he a diva? Well he’s an nba player.
As far as Barkley is concerned-whom I love and is one of my favorite players (and one Zion should aspire to be) he didn’t win shite with Moses, Toney and Doc. then he lost to the actual greatest team of his era. And he jumped to a pretty loaded Phoenix squad, couldn’t get it done, recruited more players and couldn’t get it done, then teamed up with Dream. So if Durant is soft, what is the Mound Round of Rebound?
Also, he was a toe on the line from a championship in 2021.

Russ went crazy after KD left.
Doesn't change the fact KD was a scared bitch in OKC and hid in the corner in big moments because he couldn't take potential blame.

Crazy in the first round, and stat hunted, yes.

The dude walked up and hit the series deciding 3 pointer on the defending champs homecourt while being guarded by, at the time, the best player alive.
So while Russ was stat padding then going on vacation Durant was shooting 70% while being guarded by LeBron as the primary defender in the NBA Finals. And then did it again.
Durant won and was proven right about Russ. The “GOATbrook” ball lickers have always been pretty clueless on what winning players look like.
