I’m a suns fan and I think this series could go absolutely either way. As a basketball fan this series has been amazing to watch! (Go suns tho!)
Can anyone point me in the direction of a video of him after the grizzlies fell apart?
This is such an interesting series. Denver's issue is that it feels like too often they are trading 2s for 3s and that's the difference in their points. Like, they'll get great looks at a 2, then Phoenix will get a good look at a 3, and I feel like that's the ONLY thing that's beating them.
On the flip side of that coin, I think Golden State has the opposite problem. Steph was just KILLING people mid range and dishing, and instead of continuing to run that pick and roll with Davis, Clay start taking off balance 3s with a guy in his face. Laker's were getting easy 2s, and GS were taking tough 3s.
Such an interesting year.
Meanwhile Jokic doing standard game 53/11/4 and 30/17/17
This game 5 is going to swing the opinions back to Denver. I think the Nuggets are going to win comfortably by over 10 pts.
Remember PHX Dallas last year
This is the way a series should go no matter who your going for. Come on Nugetts!
Jokic still playing better than Booker
Get the goat Vernon away from the Kevin he has zero charisma
The nuggets have the problem of their best player not being a realistic option to go to at the end of games.
Kevin looking sharp.
Lmao after game 5 here. Nuggets dominated their home games. Suns need booker shooting 80% and their bench to step up significantly to get single digit wins at home. Open up your eyes, love you both still. But go ahead and disrespect the nuggets some more.
Verno on the other hand is pure cringe
Verno got that Ellen Degeneres look going OK 👌
Hey bro, Jokić said hallo 😂
Sun’s hype podcast. Unreal stuff on a large platform.
Jokic is my MVP
They got smoked in Denver! Jokic most complete player in series!
Fawning isn't analysis
You guys should have to give up money when you're wrong all the time like this
