@Perrywinkle1267 Although yes, Nuggets offense is best ever, we will see if it holds against Min defense :)

@Perrywinkle1267 I bet 99% of Nuggets fans won't say that, and 100% of Nuggets players and stuff won't even think about it :) TWolves are our second most "feared" opponent after OKC in entire league. Difference is that we respect Twolves, they play real basketball not like OKC, so...

In the past 48 hours, I have learned that the Denver Nuggets have the greatest offense of all time, are also an elite defensive team, and that the Minnesota Timberwolves should just roll over and give up before the series starts.

@Mucki_s_ledja @mirkotopalovic7 Ne mora ni duplo, pošto računi nisu dupli, ali svakako drugačiji račun.

@Mucki_s_ledja @mirkotopalovic7 Koji svi? Pitanje je za jednog čoveka/ženu, dodao sam jedno dete na faksu. Ako pričamo o porodici tipa muž žena i dva deteta podrazumeva se da rade dvoje dakle duplo...

Kolika plata je danas u Srbiji normalna da možeš da živiš bez stresa? Baš me zanima ko će prvi da slaže

@Shapalicious Rule is there to prevent stars from load managment, avvoiding games to go party and so on. League just determined they didn't miss the mark cause of load managment at any point in season...

So Jokic didn’t need to play Sunday and could’ve filled out a form? This is very silly. It’s either a rule or it isn’t. (And it’s an extremely stupid rule)

@mirkotopalovic7 Minimalno preživeti bez stresa oko 150 hiljada, bez letovanja zimovanja, auto polovan dvadesetak godina star, uvek toplo, uvek dovoljno hrane, odeća kod kineza, bez restorana izlazaka i slično, jednako sa jednim detetom na faksu...

@mirkotopalovic7 Bez stresa znači: bar jedno dete izdržavati na faksu, na 5 godina menjati auto, na 20 kupiti stan, letovanje 10 dana zimovanje 7, 2 puta mesečno u restoran 2 puta u bioskop, povremena slavlja, odeća, obuća, i recimo neki deo za crne dane na stranu... Realno 2,5-3k evra pokriva.

@BrettSiegelNBA Rule exists to prevent stars from load management. Neither of Cade or Luka missed single game cause of load management, they went all in and it ended the way it ended. They appealed and league accepted. If they did load manage they wouldn't. Rule is still good.

Again, Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham should undoubtedly be eligible for awards, All-NBA, and all of that, but that's not that point. Why have the 65-game rule if we will make exceptions to it. Either have 65 games or don't. Quite honestly, it should be up to the voters.

@FastbreakHoops5 He has better highlights in his rookie year than 95% of centers in their entire career...

Rookie Nikola Jokić 👀

@ThunderJoe182 @NickHertzogInc @friendlykitties @OKC_CoolRancher Jokic doesn't have two rings and 100 point game, otherwise Wilt would have nothing left on him 😂

@ThunderJoe182 @NickHertzogInc @friendlykitties @OKC_CoolRancher Jokic is also first one ever to have 30/20/20 game and lead the league in rebounds and assists. List goes on...

Confirmation that MVP is a narrative/vibe award, not an objective assessment of "value" Which is fine. Just miss me with arguments built on cherrypicked data points as the justification

@TimGarrisonMN Two main reasons Min managed to have Nuggets number in past seasons are gone, NAW and KAT. Kat was on Jokic while Ruddy could roam so it was double layer in front of Joker, and NAW was stopping Jamal and hitting insane 3's. Also MPJ was weakness they exploited all day.

@TimGarrisonMN Problem of MN (as stands for entire league) is to stop Denver offense. Other than OKC nobody managed to do so, and they managed by being extremly dirty. Min is not highly offensive team, they might win 1-2 like that not 4, and Denver will score 120+ in every game...

The more I look at this Denver-Minnesota matchup, the more it stands out to me that it’s likely going to take a hallmark Anthony Edwards series. The good news, is I don’t think Denver can guard him. They’re going to send two on the ball to Anthony Edwards the second the ball tips off in game one. It’s on Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels, and Donte to force Denver to reconsider. If Minnesota can consistently find ways to punish two on the ball, they’re going to be in business because I don’t believe in Denver’s ability to guard Ant. Julius Randle will need to be decisive. A concerning thought at first, but he’s had great stretches in Minnesota that have usually coincided with decisive play. If Minnesota can break Denver’s two on the ball look, they’re going to be able to keep pace with Denver in most games.

@SteveThunderfan @SwipaCam You have to. What if a team is so good they play only one clutch and some dude scores 25 in that one game, if you do x36 he would have 180 points x36 minutes... More clutch games mean team needed one player far more in the clutch... There is no perfect calculation.

@SwipaCam So you want to use what, total points? When Murray’s played 140% as many clutch games? You trying to measure his performance or how many close games Denver plays?

Murray: 33.7 points per36, 20-18 record 68.6 TS%, 31.7 USG%, 72.9 FGM%Uast SGA: 50.3 points per36, 20-7 record 66.8 TS%, 43.8 USG%, 84.6 FGM%Uast In the most respectful way possible to Mr. Murray, who’s been incredible, there are levels.

@FastbreakHoops5 Jokic and Magic are 1a and 1b.

Who’s missing from this list...

@DPGSpurs There is no question if spurs can beat nuggets, they can... Problem is if they do so they will have to give 101% effort, not much left for OKC....

Spurs can absolutely beat DEN. They had them multiple times and blew it. DEN is not unbeatable. However, they are equally hard of a match up for SA as OKC. But Spurs cant look past this first round. PHX gave SA trouble all season. POR plays very hard and has a lot of versatility and length that can disrupt things. SA will be favored in the first round rightfully so but it’s not a cakewalk first round and you cant look past these teams especially for a young Spurs with lots of pressure and limited experience in playoffs for their core youth/talent. And MIN, while not playing great, has been a playoff riser. I would absolutely not count them out vs DEN either for those looking forward too much.

@PranavSriraman Nuggets did not come to tank, they came to play hard and take the win with guys that are avaliable while resting starters... That's big difference, and spurs underestimated them. That's lack of experience nothing else. Nuggets lost for years from tanking teams.

Still can’t believe last night happened the Nuggets were perfectly fine tanking and the Spurs were actively trying to win and neither happened. Jonas, Roddy, Strawther, half-Jokic, Bruce Brown and friends outplayed Fox, Harper, Castle, and the rest of the them thoroughly.

@HARPER04_5 Winning is team stat. Player has to have great stats AND lead team to winning. Discussion is about "how your stats impact winning and do they impact winning". However, once player leads team to over 50 wins he showed his stats are not empty, you compare individual stats.

I want to ask sports fans what side are you you on winning or stats? Neither are wrong it’s an opinion.
