    I want nothing but the worst, for the person who decided it would be a good idea to make a broadcast team of Reggie Miller and Jamal Crawford.

    Can't these two play a thirteen game series? They are the best "traditional" teams left. Minnesota being a team that could have been taken out of the 90s and Denver being a fresh take on a traditional team.

    I want to see either of them beat the "modern" exemplar, OKC. I thought I would be fine with either team winning but during the game I was rooting for Denver.

    It's as if this team was tailor made to specifcally match up with (and beat) the Nuggets.

    3 big bodies (Reid, Gobert, KAT) to throw against Jokic? Check.
    - And it's not like LA's Dwight and McGee back in 2020; you have prime DPOY Gobert, one of the best shooting big men ever in prime KAT and 6MotY in Reid. Wow.

    Tenacious perimeter defenders (Conley, Edwards, McDaniels) to throw against Murray and KCP? Check.

    Gobert and KAT would probably get played off the court if they were against the dynastic Warriors, but aside from MPJ, there's been inconsistent perimeter shooting from this Denver team, allowing Minny to keep their bigs on the court. They really should have gotten more shooting at the trade deadline this season, instead of essentially standing pat.

    I like Wolves and what Ant is becoming but I think their time will be in 2025. In a seven game series, I don’t think they can beat Denver this year even despite Murray’s injury and him being 40-50%. But I would love for them to prove me wrong. Ant and Jokic are just entertainment and love watching them play. It’s a shame we can’t see these two teams in the finals.

    I wonder if jokic is injured, it’s been pretty jarring how bad he has been lately

    because he's far and away the best player in the nba, far and away the best player since peak lebron, and he NEVER plays badly so i'm curious why it's happening

    ok i understand jokic is great and all-tine great in fact

    but fluka is overrated to me, he is slighty better than 2017 westbrick

    kyrie was far and away the best player in that clippers/mavs series

    if fluka kept hogging the ball like normal and froze out kyrie clips and mavs would be playing a game 7 today
