Big part of that is how they carried themselves. They all at some point declared themselves greatest in the game or something similar. Of course they will be held accountable, while Jokic basically said the NBA is a job for him.
Being a great offensive talent also doesn't compensate for a team that can't defend a 20 pt lead. What should he do?...
People see victories in others' defeats. Has been this way for a very long time. You can criticize every player and you will be right. All of them have holes in their games. I'm a lot more into looking for the good stuff. So I credit Minnesota's management and their players' heart. Came up with a good plan and had enough in the tank to win the...
Your guy spams the same gif more than 20 times in multiple threads and you talk about iq, criticism etc? Dumb posters get dumb responses. You can't understand that? I actually rooted for Wolves but this is getting annoying.
Mask did nothing, he's some stupid white kid acting like a black racist. He just picked an african star player as his centerpiece of trolling to get a rise out of people.
Some critcism is valid. Him not being able to defend a 20 point lead isn't one of them and there would be points to be made against that, but neither mask nor Alan are...
Please when a guy posts the Edwards gif, from a different series ffs, in 15 threads you shouldn't expect articulate arguments in response.
If he wasnt such an idiot he would post a gif of Edwards waving goodbye to the Denver fans. At least then it would be the right series.
It just shows a lack of IQ when there is no strong argument against Jokic's criticisms so you have to roll out "the greatest hits" and talk about Embiid who at this time, has nothing to do with the argument at hand.
Seems like Mask has ruffled some feathers and reduced posters to immature games because they can't articulate arguments.
so what you're saying is this is a team sport and as such, no individual performances should be isolated to credit or discredit any particular individual and rather, everyone shares blame and or credit for the net result?
Here are some of my thoughts:
1. The game is 48 minutes. Jokic says it's not how you start but how you finish -- but it is actually both. Stop giving opponents easy first quarters. The hole is something you have to spend much energy to crawl out of.
2. Take more shots in 1st quarters and 1st halves. It is very predictable after all these...
You can pick the best 1-2 in the history of the NBA (pick which ever one you want, Shaq-Kobe, Kareem-Magic, Jordan-Pippen, whatever), if the rest of your team past those two players is only giving you 28 points in an elimination game ... you have a pretty fair chance of losing, let me just put it that way.
Maybe in the lower scoring late...
Yup. It’s not like the Nuggets are an aging team. Hell the Wolves looked terrible without Conley and he might retire after this year.
But they do need a playable backup center IMO. Ideally a sixth man that can play stretch 4 when Gordon sits and center when Jokic sits. Similar to Jeff Green last year altho ideally someone bigger and obviously...
The team only has any business contending because they have that leader (Jokic), otherwise they'd be a lottery team, lol. Maybe the rest of their team could try scoring more than like 28 points combined in an elimination game.
Why is it everytime Jokic faces some criticism posters run into threads talking about Embiid's past bad games? How is that supposed to be a legitimate defence of Jokic's on court performance in 2024?
The Nuggets aren't playing the Sixers, so It has no relevance. It is the biggest straw man ever.
Shit is so lame and getting so old. Real low...
yeah, closing out on 3s is maybe a reach for him, but he could improve significantly on protecting the rim. seems to me he doesn't do it bc it tires him out quickly. but it bugs the sh1t out of me that guys like braun/AG play way better defense than their own center does. that's where my criticism of him not recieving any blame stems from. all...
