    With a weak West.....bowed out in the second round when things leveled up this year.
    Western Conference was much tougher this year.

    So one championship in the last 25 years for plop plop guys. In case you didn't know that's a
    losing proposition.

    This year will make it:
    Boston: Porzingis, Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday........Horford is a 4th or 5th option
    or
    Mavs: Doncic, Irving, P.J. Washington..........Gafford and Lively are my mobile rim protecting,
    vertical lob threat model I prefer. Protect the rim w/ Center....get offense predominantly from
    positions #1, #2, #3 and #4.

    So one of these teams in the finals will make it: 24-1 (L-W) of plop plop bigs being #1 or #2 option
    on offense and winning a championship in last 25 years

    Don't tell me you are like @Bobbythegreat (wimp lo ) and taught wrong on purpose

    All I hear is someone claiming plop plop can't win, yet Jokic's ring says otherwise. Claim whatever excuse you want, it's still a fact, Jokic was the #1 option last year and won a ring.

    That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

    So if the odds are a million to one........the one is somehow greater than the million.

    Please tell me you didn't get a college education.

    Between KAT, Jokic, Embiid they each have 8 years of experience,
    24 years total.........winning it once.

    1-23 (W-L). I'll let you figure out that winning percentage.....somehow you think that's a good number.

    But yet they are top candidates for season MVP. Means dog s#i+ to win MVP

    Dumbest thing I've heard is that plop plop can't win after it did last year while totally disregarding injuries. Now, take your GED fantasy logic and throw it in the trash can, it's worthless.

    Fact: Last year's champ was led by a plop plop player. Ring > Excuses

    And this year dumba$$.....if you are going to say one year is the norm.

    No plop plops winning this year. Dummy.

    In a real year like this season the best teams have 5 or 6 decent 3-point shooters
    and they can exploit that plop plop Center playing drop coverage defense.
    Center like Porzingis can pop out to 3.....5-men out shooting. 4 players
    can't cover the entire 3-point line. Big plop plop Center has to come out
    or 3 > 2's rule kicks in and wins.

    More and more center like Kel'el Ware, Chet, Wemby are going to be coming out.
    The plop plops will continue to exploited. They won't be able to hide in the
    final four of each conference.

    Keep being blind, dumb and stupid

    Lol, out come the insults, yeah, the mark of the defeated man. Guess you learned such smart argument tactics getting your "advanced" degree such as calling people dumbass and stupid, must have been "Calling Out Names When Facts Destroy My Argument 101" during elementary school.

    When someone like you says plop plop can't win yet just the year prior they won the whole thing only one person looks stupid, the one claiming plop plop can't win. Fact: Jokic has a ring. Fiction: Plop plop can't win a ring.

    Your grandma is calling you upstairs.

    Something about your pop tarts are ready.

    This basketball I'm talking is above your pay grade.

    You will never understand

    I don't need a doctorate to understand that Plop plop Jokic has a ring and your argument is a fallacy. Enjoy!

    You are basing the strength of your argument on a season where 3/4 of the teams were
    tanking for Wemby.

    22/23
    Utah started off 10-3 (W-L) and then saw Wemby scoring 30+ pts and 12+ rebs a game...then tanked
    Blazers started 10-4 (W-L) and then saw Wemby ...... "
    Suns gutted team for Kevin Durant. Cam Johnson and Mikal Bridges to Nets
    Mavs traded for Irving, hurting their depth.
    Thunder lost Chet for season before opening night
    Warriors: Wiggins missed the final 20 games of season for personal reasons. Came back rusty for P.O's

    Warriors put everything into beating Kings

    Warriors were too gassed to beat Lakers

    Lakers put everything into beating Warriors

    Lakers were too gassed to beat Nuggets

    Miami played small to have fast break advantage but only ran a few times. Losers only
    had about 4 fast break points a game. As if Jokic/MPj / A Gordon could keep up with
    those rug rats in the fast break.

    Miami who had Pat Riley and Spoelstra; won a championship by making the extra
    pass to corner 3-pt shooters like Ray Allen and Battier, didn't remember they could get
    an easy three vs Nuggets every trip down the court.

    Top record was Nuggets at 51 wins. Houston this year couldn't make the playoffs at 41-41.

    You said plop plop can not win. Just last season it did. A ring is a ring under any circumstances, just about every year they are different and luck factors into every championship. That's the strength of my argument. Take that to your grandma for some pop tarts, clearly basic logic is above your pay grade.

    Who knew the NBA was going to lay down a red carpet to the championship like last year.

    T-Wolves 8th seed
    Suns 4th seed
    Lakers 7th seed
    Miami 8th seed

    No team has ever had an easier path of lower seed competition

    If you think that's happening every year.......guess you were wrong. Nuggets tapped out in 2nd Rd.

    So go home and tell your mom I'll be by later......and she better have my bean pies ready

    Plop plop Jokic has a ring. Your claim is wrong and all you can do is come up with excuses trying to invalidate a championship, it's hilarious how pathetic your arguments are. Even children know better than to claim something can't happen after it already has happened. I am literally laughing at your mental gymnastics and self-delusional claims about the future :D.

    Alright Nostradamus, have fun visiting my geriatric mother, she could use the laughter lol!
