I don't see how it's possible for anyone other than Jokic to have a 1st place vote tbh. A couple others mixed around Luka and Shai makes sense i guess but let's be honest, it's Fat Serb's award.

Denver bench makes Jokic look good. Bench has zero points at the half. Yes, zero. Denver was up 17 in the first quarter then Jokic sat his fat ass down and it went to shit.
 
That's pretty much it for the Rockets barring a miracle. Kind of wanted to see them make it but the best player of the past 15 years had other ideas.

Tbh them hiring Doc and things burning down doesn't mean they were wrong to want Griffin gone. Giannis recomended him and he was done with him in a month. Things got worse because they hired Doc. Ben Simmons is scared to touch a basketball because of him.

Budenholzers the one who the Bucks should regret firing. He won a championship 2 years before and both years got eliminated by the NBA Finals team.

Also the Raptors are getting nice dose of karma.

Yeah firing Booby-hoser was dumb as hell too..
 
Nuggets with the opportunity for the #1 seed and couldn't beat a Flerps team without Klaw.

They could really use Bruce Brown right now but he chased the money. What a downward career move for him lol. Got benched on the pacers and now on the abysmal raptors.

Yeah, when it comes to the joys of winning a championship, I kind of felt the same way about Bones Hyland last year. Where it's like shut your pie hole and more less ride the pines to a title instead of complaining that Jamal Murray gets too much playing time lol. The amount of money Brown got though was considerably more than Denver could offer him because Denver paid MPJ too much.

Denver bench got outscored 34-9 yesterday. Malone got ejected for arguing fouls - it's not much of a comment about his coaching how awful the team looks when his cash cow isn't on the court. Murray being out really changes the complexion of the games - the other folks don't do good enough job shooting most of the time even with great looks.

More and more I'm beginning to think it actually will be Boston's year. Not going to be surprised if Denver doesn't make it past the second round. I'm going to have to miss most of it again anyhow.

Breh, virtually every team in the league would kill to have a roster like the Nuggets who may still win the #1 seed and are defending champions.

Fair - all relative I guess. I personally think the roster is overrated. The depth really isn't there - especially the bench this year. Jokic makes the #2 to 5 guys in the rotation seem a lot better than they really are. GMs around the league I think realize that those guys won't look nearly as good on other teams. They're the "best starting 5" really because of one person - they would completely tank without. Aaron Gordon probably best example, shot .447 in 7 seasons in Orlando and goes to Denver and his FG% steadily rises to .560 over the past couple of years.

That said, I guess it was literally just a couple years ago that outside of AG the Nuggets guys who ate up minutes were Austin Rivers, Facundo Compazzo, Monte Morris and Will Barton. I think those guys are all out of the league, or putting in small minutes for shit teams.

Edit: If there's one thing I would have loved to have seen it would have been Jokic on the same team as prime Curry. You'd have to stack the wings with defensive monsters but damn would that be fun to watch on offense.

Could be worse. My Mavs are all but a lock to face the Flerps in the first round. Flerps have eliminated Luka twice already in his short career. A third elimination by them in 6 season is potentially ROUGH.
