How the fuck are the Nuggets with Jokic, Murray, Jordan, Gordon, Porter Jr., and Reggie Jackson getting blown out by the Jazz in the 4th? This league is psychotic.

It’s not a surprise if you have been paying attention to the league. The Jazz are 8-2 in their last 10, 11-4 in their last 15 and have beaten the Bucks, 76ers, Mavs, Heat, Knicks in that span to name a few. Nuggets have been good too but it’s the regular season, so any team can beat another on a given night lol.

As an avid Nuggies fan, I said before the season they were gonna sleep walk through the regular season this year. During the telecast they said Murray was saying they just feel tired. They have played the most games, the most road games, the most back to backs in the league (they'd probably have the best record in the West if it weren't for that as Murray drops off dramatically on the second leg of back to backs). Last year late in the season before the playoffs started the last dozen or so games they were extremely mediocre including Jokic sitting out games or bottling it up, before going super saiyan in the playoffs.

Last night right off the bat it was super sloppy. Against shit teams they have beaten them all (I think Jazz is the first sub .500 team to beat them, but they are rolling at the moment), and it's somewhat comical at times. I mean Yoke took 3 shorts against the Pistons, took 1 shot in the first half against the Hornets. Other MVP type players of course would use those games to feast and put up huge lines.... But I think the season is already feeling too long for them and their ambitions.

You're telling me Andrew Wiggins isn't an All Pro player who played out of his norm for a postseason despite everyone nut riding the Warriors and saying he's extending the dynasty?

I am SHOCKED.

It’s also the regular season. One shouldn’t overreact to a single game or loss and it’s not comparable to a 7 game series. If the Jazz beat them in a series then we can say the league is crazy this season.

Ya, you're preaching to the choir. Someone earlier in another thread was diminishing the Celtics chance to win because of some game that happened earlier in the season. I couldn't be bothered to engage. Perhaps that's what I like about baseball, everyone knows pretty much any individual season game doesn't hold a lot of weight on anything. That being said, it can be fun when the unexpected happen.

No doubt. This isn’t football where every game matters

The Celtics wont win because Gaytum and Gaylen are cans. Not because of regular season antics. They're a phenomenal regular season team.

Gaytum may be one of the most overrated players in the nba right now.

It has nothing to do with "clutchness" or "killer instinct" or whatever lame ass unmeasurables people want to attribute to players. It has everything to do with him being a braindead idiot who takes horrible shots in the half court and makes braindead decisions in crunch time. Those are mental errors, he's just not a smart player, and after so many years he should learn from it, and he hasn't.

Nice you've given him the blessing like Jokic. Thank you.

I've never been wrong about Jokic. He sucks at defending out the paint and is mid as a rim protector.
