  1. This sub hates to hear it because they love dickriding Denver but real NBA enthusiasts know the Suns beat the Nuggets in 5 in a playoff series. Half court offense is more important and the Suns have 3 guys in Booker/KD/Beal who each can have a favorable matchup and will take turns hunting and running a train on Jokic. Nurkic also holds his own defensively against him.

  2. Doubly true if the other team shoots 50%

  3. It's remarkable how flawed your logic is. You don't want to make list cause you realize it's going to be inconsistent with your argument or come out totally ridiculous. Either way you've trapped yourself and have to deflect by calling rankings stupid even though that's what this whole post was about.

  4. Thoroughly off base and projecting with that assessment lmao. I don't think you could even cite back to me what my argument here even is.

  5. Yes I get it. You think you're too cool to rank players so you just patrol ranking threads and shit on how other people do it. Nut up or gtfo.

  6. It's impressive that you're able to use reddit after the lobotomy.

  7. You do realize the nuggets are most likely getting the 1st seed meaning the lakers as it stands will play them round 1 and the mavs imo get 6th/5th which leaves the suns/kings in all likelihood so that is not true lmao 🤣

  8. That's... not how the 8 seed works anymore.

  9. It’s amazing how we (people on the internet) simplify the game when talking about it when I. Reality there’s 50,000 micro calculations going on in all these players heads

  10. It's painful. Remember this the next time someone spouts off about what "the eye test" says about a player. They aren't picking up any of this.

  11. why tf is Phoenix so bad at closing? Durant and D-Book are elite closers and shot creators, Beal is a pretty good one + you have play finishers in Grayson and Nurk. Is it just bad luck?

  12. Durant and Book are massive front runners and not actually good closers. Hope that helps.

  13. Getting rid of cp3 was not the problem. I’d still take the current iteration of the suns over last years. The issue was they didn’t use their assets to try fill out the roster with defense oriented role players.

  14. Getting rid of Paul is absolutely a problem. His replacement being a less reliable, worse, much more expensive player is also a problem. The rest of the roster being filled with garbage bin players because there was no money left is also a problem.

  15. Zeke Nnaji. When the team gave him that extension I thought they had seen something to believe he was making the leap to be a solid backup. He's had moments but overall not enough to where I doubt he breaks our primary playoff rotation.

  16. IMO, Zeke just became the scapegoat for a bench that's been dysfunctional for years. He's a great switchy/hustle defensive big, which absolutely has functioned well when he's in switchy/hustle defensive lineups. Seems like people want him to turn into a traditional back to the basket scorer or something. Overall he's been fine.

  17. What caliber of player are you expecting to get as a backup C with this amount of money and the team construction?

  18. Which I actually think would be better for the Lakers rather than last year. LeBron and AD were out of steam by the time they faced them. Don’t get me wrong I still think Denver would win but I could see it going 6.

  19. Let's be fair, Kareem deserved FMVP in 80 even after missing the last game due to injury.

  20. Kareem won the FMVP in 1980, and the voters were convinced to give it to Magic instead because they wanted to hand out the trophy on TV and Kareem wasn't there.

  21. This post doesn't actually demonstrate that. Just kinda establishes more about guy's character.

  22. The Beal trade literally just happened and is worse.

  23. Gotta be hard to cheer for a guy like that. The entire Thunder team is pretty unlikeable.

  24. Was there actually anything tangible ever uncovered in that whole thing? Or just the reddit sleuths saying things?

  25. Maybe wait until we actually know what happened before saying all this?

  26. Because the Suns are fucking ass, imagine having KD, Booker, and Beal on one team and only be able to beat the dog shit Spurs 1 of 4 times.

  27. Even worse, imagine thinking it was a good idea to trade for Beal.

  28. Ishbia wanted to make a splash. It may not have been the best long term basketball decision

  29. It was a stupid long and short term decision, and it was obvious to anyone paying attention the last 5 years.

  30. Lol does the mob own Jontay or sum shit??

  31. He also could very easily have nothing to do with it. This sub absolutely loves jumping to conclusions though.

  32. no one's saying there should be a single criteria for mvp. we're just saying keep it consistent. the consistently shifting goalposts to only uplift some players and pull down others when it would be different in a previous season is just insane.

  33. If you actually understood that there's isn't a single criteria, you would understand why there isn't goalpost shifting. You're gonna argue that in one year, x player won for y reason, and the next year z player didn't win while also having y reason, but the premise that y is the singular reason is what is wrong.

  34. The difference between a 69.5% winning percentage (Jokic’s record) & a 74.6% winning percentage (Giannis record) is a 4 game difference over an 82 game season

  35. He really should have considered missing fewer games then.

  36. My man it is not complicated. I don't know why you are taking such a condescending tone. I'm not going to argue with you about it. If you want to believe this then more power to you brother.

  37. Conveniently no explanation provided. Wonder why.

  38. I already explained why it doesn't work. All of those reasons are still true even when accounting for who you're on the floor with.

  39. You gave reasons that show you are speaking from ignorance because they are not applicable to the metrics being discussed, and are now refusing to give any explanation at all for how the metrics work, for the same reason, very transparently so.

  40. I could see him being good enough to require defenses to contest him. not elite by any means but ~33% on limited attempts, which is enough for people to not leave him wide open.

  41. Don't really see a reason to think he'd be a perimeter shooter at all. He was really good at little 8-15 foot contorting fades, but it just wasn't his game to stretch the floor like that. He was certainly nothing resembling a Garnett or even DRob in that regard, or even modern guys that have made that transition like Blake or Lopez. Maybe a very occasional spot up on a broken play or something.

  42. I’ve heard stories about him at practice knocking won fadeaway 3’s.. idk if that’s true but I honestly believe it. I heard people don’t truly knew what he was capable of because he did his role in actual games but he apparently has a much deeper bag then people realize

  43. This is fanfic. Huge, huge difference between being able to hit some goofy shots when you're screwing around, and being able to functionally apply it in a game.

  44. pretty much. It’s been jokic’s to lose for 3 months now. SGA is a great player and doesn’t deserve the hate he’s been getting but he isn’t mvp either.

  45. Really haven't seen him get all that much hate.

  46. Ayton's out too. Jokic is ducking... Duop Reath?

  48. "at minimum we are talking a multitude thousands per ticket, $3-5k at least in the playoffs."

  49. Hold up explain to me how you don't shoot 40 threes?
