  1. Malone is disgrace for nba , Denver is mind-blowing on defense, Denver won't win never ever again.. this year can't win first round i give my life for this šŸ’ÆšŸ’ÆšŸ’Æ

  9. I canā€™t imagine any team trading for Murray and his contract, especially considering his recent play.
    What are other teams doing to stay out of the 2nd apron, that already have 3-4 highly paid players?

  10. Agreed Jokic has def been the best player in the NBA the last 3-4 yrs (Iā€™ve been saying since 2021), but not sure why Andy Bailey lied saying

    ā€œLeBron hasnā€™t been in the mix the last 4-5 yrsā€ when many ppl thought he was the best player in the world 2019-20 when they won title as top2 MVP and Finals MVP (4yrs ago nearly to the day averaging 30, 12, 9, 2stocks on 67TS%) and he was also favored to win 2020-21 MVP in mid March 2021 (3.5 yrs ago when AD was out and Lakers were 28-14 with number 1 defense) before Solomon hill cheap shotted him and tore his ankle up.

    At least get it right and say ā€œlast 2-3 yrsā€. Last year Bron was quietly 6th in EPM, Estimated Wins, BPM, PER, VORP & 7th best OnOff of any All Star. All except OnOff he was > Durant Kawhi last yr but robbed of 2nd team all NBA.

    Jokic imo one of the top13 best players of the last 40yrs along with MJ Bron Hakeem Bird Magic Shaq Duncan Curry Durant KG Kobe Giannis and Iā€™d personally have him top5-6 with MJ Bron Hakeem Bird Magic.

    Heā€™s unreal.

    One thing ppl arenā€™t talking about enough is Nuggets (and my PacersšŸ¤¬) passing on Trayce Jackson Davis (1st team all American son of Dale Davis who was 10, 10, 2stocks with tough defense in primeā€¦TJD averaged 21, 11, 4, 4 stocks on 58% FG% his senior year! No clue how he fell so low!) and GG Jackson (#1 in HS class) 2-3x each late first to 2nd round!

    Instead they massively reached on Hunter Tyson & Jalen Pickett!

    PS does Andy Juett know that 3s didnā€™t start in NBA until 1979-80? šŸ˜†

    Was also surprised the great Miroslav didnā€™t know Myles Turner when Andy said ā€œPadres centerā€.

  12. It's awful to see a championship calibre team sabotaged from above like this.
    They went from a superb starting 5 and a mediocre bench, to a mediocre starting 5 and an abysmal bench. Completely destabilized and poorly constructed.
    Teams can now easily triple Jokic because they have no shooters to guard.
    Russell is basketball team poison, and Saric looks literally unplayable due to his complete lack of athleticism. They are just running past him.
    But worse of all, the vibes seem off and Malone doesn't seem to be able to motivate them any more. And of course he also refuses to adapt and change his lineups when things are not working.
