NBA (whenever)...

SGA deserves some love man. Yes, he exploits the rules as they are , like MJ did, Kobe did and others keep doing, but it is not because he needs it man. He is efficient. He was 16 of 18 today. That is ridiculous in a play off game, in ANY game ! I agree with you in that he initiates things where the defender just buys it and commits...then he makes the most of it. But he does not CREATE situations that do not exist like Bron.
If SGA had zero free throws per game, he would still be an elite scorer, probably around 25 points per game, with his overall shooting percentage over %50...which is ridiculous for a shooting guard. And this is in a team where there are other legit scorers.
Brother can play man. Show him some love.

Oh I have nothing against SGA. I think the guy still manages to be underrated. He’s about to be 2x MVP and his team is clear favorites to win it all. He clearly is superior than the other mega superstars on defense with the exception of Wemby of course, and come playoff time that is huge. It’s possible we slightly overrate guys like Joker and Doncic given they aren’t good defenders. But I do think Jokic is still the best player in the world.

Wow, Edwards misses most the game and was not good when he was in and Minnesota still waxes Denver to go up 3-1.

If Doncic and Reaves miss the whole series then yes it’s at least somewhat possible. But I think Doncic probably would come back by game 5 if it gets there, or game 6 at latest. And if the teams were both fully healthy, the Lakers would have been decent favorites coming into the series.

You think so. I don't see them coming back at all this series. What for? Bron & the argonauts got this handled even if it does take 5 games.

yeah, what was that brothel about at the end? I missed most of the 2nd half, but saw some clips on Sportscenter later.

Speaking of "smart" Good Grief, the rockets basketball IQ Perk said is the lowest in the playoffs!! Actually Perk said its a dumb team.. jajajaja.. This is strange series. I can't understand why understand why they are not double or triple team Lebron and make the other Lakettes shoot the ball.. It aint Complicated!!!

Well Perk said it, so it must be true. But they are pretty dense to not have made any adjustments. Playoff ball is all about adjustments. Let's see what they come up w/ for G4.

I would never pick a team to come back from 3-0 but it will obviously happen some day and some series are more likely to be turned around than others. If we were told KD plays the rest of the series and Doncic and Reaves don’t play at all, this would make it one of the more likely 0-3 series to be turned around that we’ve seen in awhile. Contrast that to something like OKC vs Phoenix where SGA and co could party with Tiger Woods before those games and the series would still be over.

McDaniels scored with less than 2 seconds fo go. They already don’t like him since he called the Nuggets bad defenders after game 2, but right now he and the Wolves are backing up his trash talking.

I think Jokic could have let it slide, it was not a vicious dunk or anything, but he had to rally the troops for the next game. He did it for the upcoming games.

Seems like Minny is living rent free in Nuggets psyche. Isn't this the 2nd or 3rd year they have fallen apart facing them.

Raps win ugly. It was like watching 90's play off games. They shot , what, 25%?
Tied 2-2.

SGA is the worst... shout-out to Brunson and Embiid in the East also

SGA is gonna turn fans off from watching basketball.. there's no defense that anyone can play against him. He could NEVER had made on the playgrounds in the USA.. we would have ran him home crying to his mama!!

Hey Kelli, Jaden McDaniels had the bulletin board quote of the century.. Jokic, Murray and all the players he called out by their full Christian names are "Bad Defenders".. They all are Bad Defenders.. Jmac stood on it and back it up.. Great to see fella alumni Ayo playing so great and thank God he escaped basketball purgatory the Chicago Bulls ownership and entire organization.. The curse of the Jordan Bulls is in full effect. So sad that Donte, DiVincenzo ruptured his achilles and AntMan (my favorite basketball hurt his knee and hopefully he can return sometime in May).. If Minny gets eliminated the playoffs are over because its OKC and the NBA Refs are at the top of the food chain.

I don't know man...He is a shooting guard averaging %55 from the field. He is clutch. He would have averaged just about 25 points even if he had zero free throws. He can defend, he averages almost 7 assists. Don't blame the guy for being smart. There is a reason very few people from the playgrounds make it to the NBA.
