> “To be honest, I think every game is tougher and tougher,” Nikola Jokic said. “You can see, they were up 20 in Denver, in Game 2. They were up 12 today in the first half. But yeah, I think it’s really hard to play against the same team over and over again. You kind of get bored with the style of the play or whatever. So you just need to — especially for us, because we won the last three — just trust what we are doing and don’t get bored with success. Because it can (go) wrong really quick.”

Even the kinkiest sex does become boring when you do it 11 times in a row
They did look pretty bored the last few minutes of the game
“I’m terribly bored and not even trying but for some reason we keep beating these bums over and over again”
The Nuggets actually are getting bored of playing the Lakers that they’re playing worse than how they did last year, they play like shit in the 1st half & let them go up by double digits but the Lakers legit have some trauma shit atp as they always get clamped in the 3rd & lose in the same way everytime.
Jokic: “Beating the Lakers is boring”
Suffering from success

i swear he used the word “interesting” to describe the games in the presser yesterday so targeting “bored” feels like picking on him for his word choice
he also didnt know what complacent meant, and someone in the audience told him it meant bored iirc
Translation: “IT’S HORSEY TIME!”
Well we’re gonna see it again next year in the regular season with a large spotlight because it’s a near guarantee the schedule makers will put the matchup in rivals week even though it’s a one sided obliteration
It could also be the opening matchup, but I feel like back 2 back years would be a little repetitive, especially if it’s another ring ceremony (more likely it’ll be Lakers at Clippers in their new arena & get our ass kicked for another opening day loss)
Maybe Ham needs to change it up
Imagine losing to the nuggets 4 times in a row in the post season. Can’t relate.
Eventually, Orcas get bored tossing seals in the air and will finally eat [sweep] them. At least the seals got a few more minutes of living [getting stats].
At this point I am kinda wordless as to how the lakers can make any adjustment to win a game against the Nuggets. They get a big lead, get gassed, then Nuggets execute in the clutch.
Is that why Denver been spotting points in the 1st half. You know, to make it a challenge.
What a fucking killer
That makes sense now. They are just letting the Lakers have the lead in the 1st half to make it interesting.
Imagine if Joker was all about Basketball .
Even watching the games is kinda boring. Cos nuggets have ran out ways to win the game. At this point they need to find new ways to win to make it interesting.
Bored man gets paid
Reminds me of magnus carlssen who gave up his world champion title in classical chess because he got bored
“It’s so easy to beat these guys that our biggest concern is developing bad habits from beating them so much.”
Wow. Even after the game is over the Lakers keep taking a beating
oh no, he broke out the shonen “You’re boring me” quote
The best unintentional shit talker in the league lol
translation: is this yall’s goat?
