    Dude go look at the numbers. Miami is at 39.2% (they sucked vs knicks, otherwise they’re well over 40%). That’s better then ALL warriors playoff 3pt shooting except 15-16, where the warriors were at 39.3%. It’s better then all durant warriors and all steph warriors except one year where it was tied

    Better comparison is Klay Thompson.

    I dunno . . . I am not sure he is as good as Klay and d*mn sure not as good a defender
    Korver was no punk . .er . . .well . . .he wasn't one shooting 3s
    (Hated him because he became dead eye playing the Rockets)

    This seemed a little harsh, and that makes me think her question was on the money and that Spo doesn't want to provide any bulletin board material to the Nugs.

    Yes, possible. I don't know who she is (other than recognizing her name), so perhaps it was a mix of that and just being annoyed by her.

    Indeed, I think she's annoying.

    It's just an interesting topic, whether or not she asked it well. Every time Joker scores big the playoffs, the Nuggets seem to lose, and it did seem like the Heat doubled him less or more strategically? I think van Gundy had said similar things before she asked it.

    At any rate, what that vid shows if nothing else is just his intensity. He's ready for the presser to end so he can get back to scheming!

    Great coach for sure.

    I am sure Denver will try to adjust. Their role players need to step up. I'd probably feature Christian Braun more, he has championship experience.

    Single covering Jokic is Miami's best chance defensively. You have to pick your poison. I'd rather give him 40+ per game than have him dishing out 15 assists. Staying home on their shooters and taking them out of their comfort zones is the blueprint if they want to pull off this upset. Reminds me of how we played GS with KD. Force him into ISO's and eliminate the other shooters. Miami can live with Jokic scoring 2's as long as they can keep the others in check. I went with the Heat in 7. Hoping for a fun series.

    Joker is fucming amazing. But he’s not even the best offensive center, yet alone player of all time


    Funny how @astrosrule posts here but doesn’t know of a guy named Olajuwon
