    The playoffs are all about defense and Denver never has enough of it to have any kind of consistency. That to me is why Jokic can never be a true MVP even if he became the most phenomenal offensive player of all time. Your big man also has to be your defensive anchor.

    That Lillard dude is just as scary as that Curry dude.

    Dame undoubtedly better than Harden. Never seen Harden had this kind of offensive explosion in the playoffs. Harden always shrinks in the big moments.

    Did Barkley just name the Lillard/McCollum duo as the best backcourt in the NBA?

    Oh boy.

    feels like the media has been saying that for years, but without any substance. They are worst defensive backcourt in the league and thats a fact

    Dame's playoff highlights were conveniently absent against the Warriors, couldn't even get one game off of them. Meanwhile Harden did this:

    Jokic had a good season, and playing well tonight game 2 playoffs. I don't have an issue if he gets MVP this year. Who knows if he could keep it up in future years, this year could be his peak regular season.

    I feel bad for Denver man, if it weren't for Murray being injured I think they'd have a great chance at making a Finals run...even without him they are loaded and deep but with him...sheesh

    Harden had 41 and 38 in B2B games against stacked GS...stop being so stupid

    I’ve never seen Harden average 18 ppg against a team like the Pelicans while getting swept in the 1st round, but that’s none of my business
