2024-25 NBA Thread: New Pope shocks world in opening statement by asking why Bulls gave Patrick Williams all that money (93 Viewers)

[pollardsvision]

Jokic certainly thinks they can win with that flop.

It's hard on a big man taking a dive like that at the top of the key. He's only doing that if he thinks they can win.

 

[pollardsvision]

Damn. Another one.

New Nuggets coach looks like Murr from Impractical Jokers

 

[pollardsvision]

BTW, certainly not knocking Jokic for the flops. I have mad respect for it.

We're all of a certain age, maybe with some extra weight. Not even close to 7 ft tall.

Imagine someone asked you to take an all-out dive on a hardwood floor?
There better be something really important or a lot of money at stake.
We can't guarantee we're going to get up, and if we do, it's going to suck.

 

[msudaisy26]

This is going to be a good series, just hope Murray is okay and Kawhi doesn't do Kawhi things.

 

[msudaisy26]

There is something Jokic isn't good at, out running people.

Frank Vogel looks like Joe Gatto. Now we just have to find a Sal and Q.

I'd say the worst thing he is at doing is having good teammates.

 

[Kev4029]

Westbrook is a joke offensively. It's about time to bench him for at least this series.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

J Murray just has no explosiveness. He’s struggling.

And of course right then he finally makes a play

 

[pollardsvision]

GD, Jokic is a wizard.

 

[Yo Mama]

GD, Jokic is a wizard.

A little early to speculate on the nuggets blowing things up and trading Jokic.

 

[msudaisy26]

My TV froze when Jokic was staring at the ref. I fear for that man's life tonight.

 

[msudaisy26]

There is something Jokic isn't good at, out running people.

I'd say the worst thing he is at doing is having good teammates.

At this point do they trade Murray, Porter, and or Gordon for some aging guys and make another 2 year run at this?

I wouldn't say i'm especially dumb or smart. Just a regular idiot.

But I just can't see what he sees until after he does it.

 

[Kev4029]

On this Easter weekend, our lord and savior Westbrook giveth and he taketh away.

Porter is the one one I would like to see go. I would love a MPJ for two rotation players trade.

 

[Kev4029]

I have never seen a more boom or bust player than old Westbrook.

 

[Zow]

He’s not very good at looking like he should be the best basketball player on the planet when he isn’t actually playing.

 

[Zow]

I have never seen a more boom or bust player than old Westbrook.

He looks so good at times.

Yeah that would be like trading Luka. Which would be totally nuts.

 

[Kev4029]

It's remarkable. He'll make three great plays then have a back to back to back run of TO, foul, TO or something.

 

[Yo Mama]

Yeah that would be like trading Luka. Which would be totally nuts.

Especially to the Wizards.

 

[pollardsvision]

Nuggs! We're all here for you Kev.

 

[Zow]

Lol

 

[Kev4029]

Westbrook is something else...

 

[pollardsvision]

Whoa. Of all the unlikely things. A Westbrook 3.

 

[Kev4029]

Nuggs! We're all here for you Kev.

Lol. Thanks. I need the emotional support.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Boom!

 

[msudaisy26]

Did wr really just go to commercial for review, come back for the announcement and go back to commercial?

 

[the moops]

Uncanny

David Adelman

Paul Scheer

 

[Zow]

Westbrook and Harden. Clutch.

Bizarro world.

 

[Zow]

lol

 

[Kev4029]

Westbrook.... ****, man.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Classic Westbrook. Back to back plays.

 

[the moops]

Oof

 

[Zow]

Oh Westbrook

 

[pollardsvision]

You can't make this **** up.

 

[Kev4029]

I feel like this game is going to come down to how many good vs bad plays that Westbrook makes. I don't think I like the Nuggets end of that bet.

The Clippers are trying to force that.

 

[pollardsvision]

When you've got the best player on the court, you've always got a chance.

 

[the moops]

Westbrook.

As they should. The Westbrook Chaos on the offensive side is 100% a problem for the Nuggets. Defensively, the Westbrook Chaos bounces between a neutral and huge bonus depending on how things swing.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

That one Denver assistant looks like Mike Malone.

 

[Kev4029]

Westbrook... wow.

 

[Yo Mama]

Clippers doing Clippers things.

 

[pollardsvision]

Nuggs! Eff everybody else!

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I am glad I don't gamble. The Twitters is aflame with people angry about Jokic not getting that 10th rebound.

Dude had nine rebounds for three hours!!!

 

[scoobus]

Westbrook had some good plays, but let's not go crazy.

 

[msudaisy26]

Thibs won't even take guys out with foul trouble. Hart with three fouls with 11 minutes in the second.
