I see Westbrook standing right next to him...

I think this is a deceptive snapshot. #20 is not guarding Jokic. There is another Nuggets player right next to Jokic. So you have 3 Kings next to 2 Nuggets.

That's is a hell of a way to exaggerate a guy being double-teamed.



It’s most definitely a deceptive screenshot but not by much. Take away Westbrook and the his defender and it’s accurate. Still stupid to observe lol. Lakers put like 3 dudes in his general vicinity and denied him the ball. Made sure the only other threat as a shooter(MPJ) was taken care of and forced Westbrook(who can’t shoot) and all the other non shooting negros try to beat them.

And do you know what Westbrook and those other dudes did?

Come down the court and immediately force it to Jokic and turn the ball over. All game basically.
 
Who's had the worst season Phoenix, Philly or Dallas :smh:
I wanna say dallas and it isnt close.. But upon further review... Has to be philly. They maxed out PG13 and Embiid. They thought they had a big 3 to make a title run. PG looks cooked, and Embiid will probably never be healthy. I dont think anyone really expected much from Phoenix.
 


Hey
@NBAonTNT

might wanna tell that senior citizen Charles Barkley that I’ll be around. When he see an idiot or fool in person make sure he keep that same energy. He can come playing with me if he want to and imma Address his ass like the numbers on a house. Straight from the 409 homeboy and we bar none and fade all. #TexasBoy

:lol: :lol:

He ain’t say none of this to Zach Randolph
 
Dallas was in the finals last year and traded their star fan favorite franchise player....so I go with them

but Phoenix and Philly thought they were building championship caliber teams.

The Suns have one bad contract. Philadelphia has two. Embiid and PG are just starting their contracts.
 
Yeah man, I saw Amen do a one step dunk with two hands from the free throw line like he was Giannis

I was expecting a layup like any normal person.
I just want him to develop a consistent middy... no need for the 3 ball... just consistently knock down a mid range jump shot... he does that and he'll be an absolute nightmare to guard
 
Hopefully this big 3 shit is out the window going forward because the last few teams that have tried them failed miserably.

The thing that's working is a dynamic 1-2 combo between a big and a wing player or 2 wing players with a good supporting cast around them that knows their roles.

Boston has it - Tatum and Brown
Cleveland has it - Mitchell and Garland or Mobley
OKC has it - SGA and Chet
Lakers have it - Bron and Luka
Denver has it - Joker and Murray
Memphis has it - Ja and JJJ

They lose role players, replace them with other role players, keep their core 2 in place, and keep winning games.

This is the way.
 
Tired of Klay being treated like a victim and whining and pouting. Hes grossly overpaid at this point and he had all the professional freedom in the world and he chose wrong. Checks cleared tho. Fuck em.

I don’t think he chose wrong. It’s not about a check— he left for considerably less. The Warriors were going to have him come off the bench. They didn’t believe in him. He believed in himself. His confidence proved misplaced. But have you ever bet on yourself and been wrong? You can never bet on yourself and be proven right without taking that risk.
