  1. We don’t want or need your apologies or flowers. Please kindly f*** off.

    You guys spend all of your time covering & analyzing the league & your coastal big market bias still got in the way. Hope you all feel some shame & sit in it until the WCF start.

  2. regarding having the best player in any series- This is why I don't really buy Boston even though they're deep, they have continuity, they have been one of the best teams all year- But how many series are they going to have the best player in going forward, if they survive the Sixers? I'm not even sure Tatum is better than Jimmy. He's definitely not better than Jokic, LeBron, AD, or Steph. And I think you see that Boston is missing that guy.

  3. Nonsense , Jokic is just part of racist NBA right ?… Or he is peddling ? After that kind of narrative from ESPN and other "NBA experts" there is no coming back….. Better not to say anything in the future , just leave Jokic to play basketball ….

  4. If you want re-entry to the bandwagon you’ll need to pay the Efficiency Merchant and I ain’t sure y’all can afford it.

  5. Embiid didn't kick Jokic's ass in that reg. season game. The Sixers team beat the Nuggets team. Also, you aren't going to find a better quad of wing defenders in the NBA than Aaron Gordon, Kenny Caldwell-Pope, Bruce Brown, and Christian Brown. Those dudes are a swarm of hornets on D.

  6. I'm a little out of the loop here. What is it that people are always badmouthing Jokic about? Dude's a two time MVP and his team has had the best performance in the playoffs hands down with him averaging like 20/10. Why isn't he ranked as the best player in the league? Is it a racial thing? Don't tell me it's a racial thing. That's just silly.

  7. Jokic had more WCF than 1st round exits. The ONLY time Jokic lost in the first round was to the eventual Champion GSW and he was missing both Mal and MPJ while playing w a starting backcourt or Facu and Austin Rivers…Not putting that into context is why you can get “Back on the bus”. Sorry.

  8. Fun Fact: Every Time the Denver Nuggets has matched up with this playoffs has atleast 2 all star players on it. RD1 Was Towns and Edward's RD2 was KD, Booker and Paul and RD3 we got LeBron, AD and Russell bro that's crazy.

  9. For some reason, people keep undervaluing the Nuggets. 13 of 17 of ESPN’s experts took Suns to win. The other 4 took Nuggets in 7. See? Most people are wrong about this Nuggets team

  10. Jokic ran a 140 offensive rating in the 1st half with Embiid as his matchup. In the regular szn Jokic isn't matchup hunting but if the Sixers think they can stick PJ Tucker on him in the finals. Good luck. 5 game series maximum.
