    It's no surprise. NBA is a star-driven league. If you've got the star power, you can do anything inside and outside the court. Just look at Simmons and Harden. Referees won't just take you out of the game because the game sucks without you if you're a superstar. It's the same outside the court, you can always force a trade if you want to because you're a star.

    We should try to trade for Wiggins this offseason (for Wood and Gordon). It doesn’t make sense to extend or re-sign him with Kuminga showing he is ready for increased minutes much earlier than expected. They could then re-sign Wood and have some insurance for Wiseman and help balance their roster. Wood’s deficiencies would not be as glaring on arguably the best defensive team in the league.

    Looks like the Finals door opened up if Booker is out

    GSW has played a really good half so far, and they're only up 49-45.

    I love it when refs give out Ts after making a bad call. One of the best spectacles in NBA basketball

    The Warriors are putting Jokic in every offensive set they run.. he's out there running like a maniac. Tough for Denver when that's your main guy..

    Monster on offense but Jokic defensively just won’t ever be it.

    Do you guys think Embiid could win one game against GS with Jokic's teammates?

    Nope. Denver’s supporting cast is terrible. Everything has to go through joker

    Funny some people say that Embiid deserves the MVP more than Jokic, citing Jokic being swept while Embiid sweeping. Classic example of out of context comparison.
