I’m starting to feel sorry for the guy, should be on suicide watch, the backlash is getting brutal.

That's true but also what's helped him get so overrated. I think of it this way, it's like if filling a bucket of water is needed to win something, and a guy like Jokic basically fills that bucket more than anyone else on the team, like let's say 75% of the water. Now you need the rest of the team to come up with 25%. Murray got/gets to play massive advantage basketball with Jokic which helped put the Nuggets over the top to win a title. But pretty much no other center has the hands to pull off a two man game like Jokic -- the screens and space Murray has gotten is a lot better than peers generally. So you wind up in this spot where a guy like Murray is needed to put Denver like over the top and win titles because it's near impossible for a one-star team to win a championship.

But reality is Murray is like the guy that's been born on third base playing with Jokic, and people act like he hits a triple. Granted he's had injuries and all, but look at his Jokic-less performance in the Olympics for a laugh. And some folk like(d) to say he was the best player in the league to never have been an all star. I don't know who deserves that tile, but I don't think it's him. He's no different than AG in that other teams realize their value and stats are inflated by playing with the Sherpa. Murray is the kinda guy that will often deliver a pedestrian 7 for 19 from the field kind of thing but hit a big shot at the end of a close game and be piled upon as a hero when reality is the game should have never been that close to begin with LOL.
 
All that was missing was the clown music at the end of that game lol, Gordon badly missing the wide open dunk, Porter losing the ball and then getting hurt after falling and someone fell on him, Braun missing a good look, Jokic dribbling around and launching another random contested 3.

Leonard was money, can't even be mad at that loss outside of how dumb the nuggets were at the end.
 
Huge game tonight in Los Mangeles. If the T-Wolves win again, the Fakers are in bad shape. Only 7.5% of teams historically in the NBA have won a series down 2-0 and this would be even worse for the Fakers since 3 of the final 5 are in Mini Soda.

I’ve got my eyes on Naz Reid aka the Black Brad Pitt. BBP was phenomenal from 3 last game.

Thing is... nobody gave them a shot without a bigger dude at the 5 and defense. I think they win tonight.
 
Is Lillard washed? I remember him getting traded to Bucks was thought to be some sort of game changer at some time?

Instead he's been seen wearing genie pants and arguing with opposing players while not being in the lineup.
 
Lol at the Bucks getting hammered by the Pacers. Lame continues to be hilariously overrated.
