Only the NBA would make sure there is no game this weekend. It's remarkable how many calls these officials don't really see but call something based on the result.

You see it all the time with swiped at balls, they just blow the whistle even when it clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 MPJ has gone full Harrison Barnes in these finals. He’s 3-21 from the three line. 14% from a 42% three point shooter. best sign for the heat, Murray is having another low production game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) That **** is jus not fair... Dominant centers that can actually hit threes when left alone are like a next level evolution...I'm on board with Joker being best player in NBA right now...it's nearly impossible to outphysical him, doubling he consistently finds open players, and he can score from it seems like anywhere.

And if you close out he drives and turns into a play maker. Centers aren’t supposed to be able to do that. the truly stunning thing about Jokic isn’t on any single play though, it’s how few bad offensive possessions he gives the nuggets. Compare it to when Embiid starts to play hero ball and puts up hot garbage. Most stars do that. So called “tough shot makers” often just take awful shots, and when they miss but keep trying it kills you. Jokic is not what Lebron was in his prime, but he’s that type of elite decision maker. Nuggets almost always get a good shot when Jokic has the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam flopped in a ridiculous manner but after the jokic call, AG was called for nothing and Murray was called for contact that wasn’t a foul of any kind. It’s ridiculous.

Switchgear Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 That sequence was crazy, starting with the Adebayo flop. I couldn't help wondering if the refs are just really, really bad at their jobs, or if the NBA really wants this to go at least 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I am really enjoying the fact that these teams don't shoot 50 threes a game. Taking the ball to the basket, post play, floaters. It's just better basketball to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 KCP hit the dagger, but Brown was the one that took over offensively. did MPJ play in the 2nd half? Looks like he got benched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Jokic and Murray are a combined 13-36. And they still won by 13. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 As great as Jimmy Butler is, he has to take 30 shots in a must win game like tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he got benched. He did. But he was noticeably absent in the 4th. I really thought Jokic should have come back earlier. But Malone hand it under control with Brown and Green.

Destino Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I like what J Crawford said on NBA TV. The issue with defending Jokic is that he’s the biggest and best player on the court but scoring is his last priority. It’s not easy to guard a guy that’s playing a different game than everyone else. he’s got a point because the issue with defending him these entire playoffs has really been what to do schematically. You can’t slow their offense if you can’t stop Jokic from running it. We’ve watched every team try a variety of stuff and we’ve watched Jokic eventually break down their game plan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCP became a princess during that laker series. He was ballin nuggies role players have been excellent this post season. Wish I the dubs had that. Poole became a black hole and Dante couldn’t make a wide open shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they got the sweep but Joker shot less than 50% in 3 of the 4 games. Such a well constructed rounded team surrounding him to maximize his talents too. Nuggies deserve all the success this year that being said I like my teams chances next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
