StillUnknown Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) where does Nikola Jokic rank on the list of young bigs in the game? his potential is scary, he already passes better than a lot of guards in the league Edited February 11, 2017 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highlights show an smooth highly skilled offensive player and being only 21 he's going to get a great deal better. The numbers are their to back up the highlights. He's a shot creator off the dribble, for himself and others, which is a rare skill for an NBA big. What I don't know is if he's going to put the same amount of work into his defense and fall in love with the weight room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I never saw him play before... He's nice. Them passes are tough and he has that Dirkish fade away action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Would love to see OKC win here tonight. As breathtaking as the Warriors can be when playing together, I still think that Durant leaving was such a weak move. I understand if he wanted to go somewhere else...but if you can't beat em, join em, which is so lame. I'd love to see them come up short again this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Watching this OKC/GS game, the NBA really sucks now. They have to find a way to two legitimate contenders that could easily play each other four straight years in the finals. (counting next season already) I used to really enjoy watching games and I'm happy for all the Wizards fans for the good season they are having, but there needs to be more competition for the actual title. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I was more interested in the fan reaction. And they proved why no player should ever give a damn about fans. Biggest one sided "relationship" ever. When Westbrook leaves at some point, or both his knees explode, I hope those idiots realize how good they had it at one point. But theyre probably too dumb to do that Edited February 12, 2017 by Mr. Sinister 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The Thunder screwed up when they chose Ibaka over Harden. That was the beginning of the end for them. Ibaka never turned into anything special and Harden is an MVP candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) I felt so embarrassed for the Thunder fans yesterday. They were so happy everytime KD missed a shot... I'm like, " y'all are down by 20... Stop acting like every missed shot wins the game for you." Then Van Gundy and Jackson were trying to say that he didn't have to leave to justify his legacy. They may be right, but after seeing how they treated him last night, I'm glad he left. Edited February 12, 2017 by MLSKINS 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that his older bros were tight w/ Darko, and were in his inner-circle when he was w/ the Pistons. They saw and contributed to his downfall. They're now EXTREMELY protective of Nikola and don't want him going down that same path. He obviously listens to them....

Hmm.... Still wouldn't have had a problem turning the Wiz into a super team thru free agency. Same thing happened when Lebron went to Miami and people here hated that and called them bought championships etc Just sounds like sour grapes and a bit hypocritical every time another team can build a juggernaut and fans complain and whine about it. Not saying you specifically just in general what I saw on this board and overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 There are two reasons Durant was booed... 1. He talked a lot over the years about how much he loved OKC and wanted to stay. Read some of his older tweets. 2. He went to a powerhouse team that just beat his team in the conference finals. If he hadn't really said anything and just went to some random team like Boston or Toronto, or hell even to Washington, I don't think there would be AS MUCH animosity.

Seriously. For all the crap OKC put out there about their "classy, humble" real fans especially during the '12 Finals, they showed they're no different than a big major city team. He'll they're probably worse. At least those fanbases understand the business side of basketball. That cupcake bull****, and all the taunting and yapping from the gump ass OKC players, crossed the line. That **** ain't cool. DC/PG County doesn't breed soft people, and as much as he gave to that community, he might as well should've held a press conference to say he was leaving, then pissed into the crowd. That's why I got is so many arguments with people in here after the Decision, because fans were being dishonest when they were talking about how that was the tipping point. They just used it as an excuse to justify going all in like they really wanted to deep down, and nobody would put them on blast for it, because of how it happened. ****ty, self absorbed people want athletes to be the nicest beings on Earth, take pay cuts, take hometown discounts when negotiating new contracts, stay loyal (despite whatever bs management throws their way,) go where they deem it appropriate in FA. I really think modern day "Fandom" deserves a serious discussion. Edited February 12, 2017 by Mr. Sinister 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 For the record, I didn't mind Lebron going to Miami... It was the way he did it. Once he was there, it was just Lebron in the Heat. That's it. KD leaving was his decision and his alone. Look at him when he's playing, yeah he's on the best team, but he's also playing with his good friends. I don't care what team I'm on, if you can tell me I can play on a good team with good friends and financially, it won't affect me to much, I'm taking it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal And I'm ready for someone to lay Westbrook out. That pitbull alpha male **** has gone to his head.
