OKC also has a real "fuck it, bring it on" energy.
Rick@OCColordguy
@HPbasketball OKC would be crazy to try to win at Denver Friday… losing almost guarantees they would only have to face one of the two teams (DEN/SAS) with a chance to beat them and that would be after they’ve pummeled each other
English
@JMurrayWrld @Jvonte15 Ho hum Jokic has the best offensive season of all time. Meanwhile, we have someone who is way less impressive than AI and Kobe being crowned. Whatever
English
Leading the league in rebounds and assists has never happened even across multiple SEASONS. Let alone in one. It will never happen again.
Will never take it for granted.
NBA Courtside@NBA__Courtside
Paul Pierce says you’ll have a better chance of scoring 100 points in a game than having a guy lead the league in assists and rebounds: “We’re never going to see a season like this again from no one else ever in the history of the game.” (Via @NFGShow)

@kingoftrolz @den_shorts If you are right on the money, I wouldn't blame him. As a fan, I would hope he/they would try and maximize health for a brutal playoff run
English
@paterade79 @den_shorts Surely you don't expect of him to sit out, become ineligible for All NBA team and lose the chance to sign $130-150M bigger contract extension in the summer?
English
Doesn’t Jok have to play both games to be eligible for awards?
English
@Queefbeef4 @NBABlackburn Healthy team beats both. Unhealthy team looks just like last year
English
@paterade79 @NBABlackburn Uh. To rather play the spurs or thunder in round 2… 🤦♂️
English
So, the Thunder are resting their entire playoff rotation vs the Nuggets, which they objectively SHOULD do.
The Nuggets are playing cat-and-mouse with Jokic/Murray/Gordon based on the Lakers game tonight I'd imagine.
If Lakers win vs Warriors, Nuggets probably play everybody.
English
@ThunderHardwood @NBABlackburn Thunder hacks are the worst. Just wait until you have to pay your players. That's the real NBA
English
@NBABlackburn kind of a weak move in my opinion, got a chance at number 3 no matter if the lakers win or not, but you’re basically admitting you’re terrified of that last game against the spurs
loser mentality
English
@MileHighHuddle @KelbermanNFL I would argue they did it because of the risk of not doing it as well. We had very few games with 4 healthy receivers including the AFC championship game. Injuries are a part of it and this protects us a little bit
English
The #Broncos are betting big on Jaylen Waddle, but some around the league see a risk | via @KelbermanNFL

@yungcoloradokid @COSportsNut Doesn't matter who they give it to. The Jokic highlight reels will live on forever. No one will care about push off mid range jumpers and free throws. Jokic legend will only grow.
English
If you take SGA, Wemby, and Luka into a lab and combine them into one super player it would literally be Jokic🤦🏽♂️

Who do you think should win NBA MVP?
English
@NBASrbija Jokic is beyond MVPs. His legend doesn't need it and this only helps his cause.
English
“Nikola Jokić is going to be the first player to ever lead the league in both rebounds and assists per game, he’s averaging an uber-efficient 27.9 points for the league’s No. 1 offense... And it still might not be enough to win the MVP award.”

NBA App Power Rankings by BetMGM 📊 @johnschuhmann: "The Nuggets have won eight straight games, scoring more than 121 points per 100 possessions in all eight, including an overtime win over the Spurs on Saturday afternoon. (Five of their six games against Oklahoma City and San Antonio have been determined by six points or less, with two of them going to OT). They’ve won 50 games for the fourth straight season, and they’ve got the biggest matchup advantage in the league." See where all 30 teams stand one week before the postseason in the latest Power Rankings presented by @BetMGM on the NBA App!

@jamesmerilatt That's messed up. The only coach in Nuggets history to deliver a title. Nothing but love for Moach!
English
How can you watch him play and NOT think he’s the MVP?
Kalshi Hoops@KalshiHoops
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the 1st Guard in NBA History to average the following numbers in a single season: • 30+ PTS • 55%+ FG 76% chance to win MVP on Kalshi.
English
@NotAnOKCFan Watch his highlights against the players he is supposedly better than. Is he better than Kobe? How about Iverson?
English
@SSN_Broncos_ @Sidelines_SN @BarstoolUIowa B+. Teams played prevent offense all year. 1st and 2nd down conservative and then third down throw at Riley and hope for a flag. You would be stupid to do that to Surtain but he probably would have got flags as well.
English
What grade would you give Riley Moss’ 2025 campaign? 🤔
English
@CoachKarl22 We will all look back on this with reverence. It's been so incredible for so long it's become expected. 1 of 1.
English
@TroyRenck That's fine. Jokic's greatness is expected now and not surprising. We will all look back on this period with reverence when it's gone.
English
Love Jokic’s game. Have defended his MVP case in past years. He’s not the MVP this year. If I had a vote, it would go to Wemby bc of his impact on both ends of the floor
Eric Goodman@EricGoodman
Nikola Jokić has 60-1 odds right now to win NBA MVP and is behind SGA, Victor Wembanyama & Luka Dončić. Is Joker deserving of his 4th MVP this year or not? | @TroyRenck Presented by SmokinDavesBBQ.com & thesbbar.com
English
He's going to get hated for this by nuggets fans but where's the lie lol.
NBA Courtside@NBA__Courtside
Mike Malone says SGA is the MVP: "He's proven himself to be the best clutch player in the NBA... He has a chance to be the first guard ever to average 30 PPG and shoot 55%... No disrespect to Wemby, Nikola Jokic, everybody else. I think SGA is incredible in his ability to impact the game in all shapes and forms"
English
Are you kidding me? He would fit in seamlessly as long as we don't have to give up important assets. I get the emotional downside but we are in a different phase. MPJ leaving was the end of that phase and now we have to do stuff like this to contend. It was great while it lasted but now we need mercs.

Would you love or hate if LeBron James is wearing a Denver Nuggets jersey next season? | Freshly Grated with @PetersenWill and @celloromano
English
@SamQuinnCBS Never mind he is having the greatest offensive season of all time. Ho hum.
English
Jokic has had a worse defensive season than Luka. That's one of the reasons I wouldn't pick him, though there are others (the post-injury efficiency dip and turnovers being most prominent). I have Jokic in fourth with all of that stuff in mind.
Ry@JustRyCole
Defense hurts jokic’s case?
English
@SamQuinnCBS Jokic is immune to media MVPs. His metrics are now should have won MVPs like LeBron. That's when you know it's an all time great.
