Remember when Dom and Brian dragged that vault through the streets of Rio?

I cannot understand, for the life of me, the Jaylen Brown propaganda. The recent takes on him being so thoroughly divorced from reality is a disservice to the great season he’s having.
Run It Back@RunItBackFDTV
Luka Doncic hasn't outplayed SGA, Cade Cunningham or Jaylen Brown, according to Lou Williams 👀 "He hasn't had the impact and done the things that these other guys have done." Lou says the MVP race comes down to numbers 📊 @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23

Jeez, this bums me out. I hope he can make it back by some point in the playoffs, but this obviously isn’t something to rush.

Just in: Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and is expected to miss an extended period of time, sources tell ESPN.

@412SportsGuy15 They might have the biggest range of possible outcomes in the NBA.
English
@AndrewDBailey I genuinely feel if they’re healthy, they can hang with SA or OKC or they may get bounced in the first round and I wouldn’t be surprised by either outcome. They baffle me. Legit reasons why they’re inconsistent but it’s hit absurd levels.

A 50-32 record equals a .610 winning percentage.
Only 11 of the 79 teams to win the NBA (or BAA) Finals had winning percentages below .610. The most recent of those 11 teams is the 1994-95 Rockets. Before that, it was the 1977-78 Bullets.

Sub-50 win teams (Denver's on pace for 49) with ho-hum point differentials rarely win NBA championships.

@hallsrh It was crazy how uninformed that entire episode was, haha

Luka Dončić is averaging 38.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 5.7 threes, while shooting 40.4% from three, over the Lakers’ last seven games.

Remember the end of the 2022-23 regular season?

I wonder if the national media will go on a slander tour of Jokic the same way they did for Luka
English
@dockery58 I would pick OKC in a series but wouldn’t be stunned to see LA beat them. Playoff Luka might be the biggest wildcard in the league.
English
@AndrewDBailey Damn. You’re even more bullish on the Lakers than I am. I want to believe a title is possible but my concern is just that OKC (and SA to a lesser extent) is practically designed in a lab to exploit every Lakers weakness. You think they can beat OKC?
English
I think the Thunder, Spurs, Lakers and Celtics can all win the championship.
(Maybe the Cavs, Knicks and Pistons, but right now, Boston is the only Eastern Conference team I can see beating one of the West's best in a series.)
English
@AndrewDBailey No chance you believe this will actually happen.

What will the Michael Jordan lobby do with Luka Dončić getting LeBron James his fifth ring?

@AndrewDBailey I recall Joel Embiid's whole case against Jokic that year being a media campaign post ASB by Kendrick Perkins and that shit worked... let's stop pretending stats are the decisive factor here
English
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's case is stronger right now, but if Luka Dončić and the Lakers wind up in the mid-50s, and he keeps playing like he has the last few weeks, it could get interesting.
Kevin Gray Jr.@KevinGraySports
So tell me again, why Luka Dončić isn't the NBA MVP?
English
Basketball gods help us if MVP voters reduce their analysis to this.

Pick your MVP: @statmuse Luka: Shai: 3rd seed 1st seed 33.0 PPG 31.5 PPG 8.5 APG 6.6 APG 7.9 RPG 4.5 RPG 3.9 3PM 1.7 3PM

Jokić's carelessness with the ball since returning from injury has been jarring. He's averaging 4.5 turnovers in that stretch.
Real App@realapp
Nikola Jokic now has the most 10+ turnover games by a center in NBA history 😬
