    I dont think Jokic is goat yet but in terms of dominance I think Jokic is the most dominant player right up there with Shaq. The Nuggets would be among the worst teams in the league if he missed a season the last couple of years.

    Not good enough for winning a 7 game series *yet*. Once the team matures, gets healthy, more cohesive and poised, I do believe we can get to the Western Conference Finals. The goal isn't getting a Cinderella season this year, it's building a sustainable winner.

    Good thing the best team wins not the best players.

    Rockets are too young thats normal. They are actually ahead of schedule just like OKC young teams arent supposed to be this good.

    Yeah I just think he should be considered. And it sucks that he plays for a poverty franchise that can't pay his supporting cast to stick around. And he's left holding up one of the worst teams ever so he will never truly win enough to be considered. This is what all those fans that knock LeBron for leaving Cleveland don't understand. Certain times you get drafted into a good organization and it's easy to stay with one team. Certain players don't have that kinda luck and in order to win need to make their own luck.

    Rockets showed a lot of growth tonight not letting that Laker’s run get them rattled. They lost this type game vs the wolves and were able to hang on to this one. A lot of maturity shown and things are clicking.

    Amen is a superstar.

    Oh and MJ is the goat btw.

    Go Rockets.

    Also can we just all settle the GOAT debate by coming to the conclusion that Hakeem is the real greatest of all time? From an unbiased perspective, of course :D

    I do agree if Hakeem was the one drafted by the Bulls he would be the unquestioned goat with like 8 or 9 titles. Imagine the defense with him, Pippen and Rodman and he wouldnt retire 3 times either.

    Unfortunate instead of Krause he got a GM who partnered him with Ralph Sampson and crack addicts.

    Extending his career in Toronto hurt his legacy though. But I will forgive it.

    Quote is not that crazy…Passing MJ with most 30 point games record but needing an extra 7 years to do it…that doesn’t look good to me. The NBA and Media making a big deal about it without mentioning that caveat. LeBron should be embarrassed when they ask him about it. He should have responded like the way his team mate AD did.
