The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[thunderc]

lol the one time thunder got to play the mavs with both Kyrie and Luka in the lineup, it was belt to ass as they destroyed okc

Like I said, the Thunder just need to keep beating them like they have been

 

[Duffman]

I get it you don’t think any other player deserves mvp. There is a reason why I debate people with an open mind on this topic instead of homers like yourself

Jokic has better overall numbers than any other candidate, unless you’re only blinded by PPG.

 

[Mecca]

Jokic has it wrapped

This year.

Coming into the Season, Luka has been a too preseason fav to win the award the last few years.

He keeps doing this, and gets a top 4 seed, he will win it next.

Possible for sure, along with several other things happening.

If you’re talking about the mavs then you aren’t playing them in a playoffs with either Luka or Kyrie out which was the case in both of okc wins. The thunder looked like a lottery team when they played Dallas with both available but keep relying on the 2 wins with one of their 2 best players out

 

[bksballer89]

Okc can’t do shit with the Knicks right now

 

[Duffman]

So, let’s not pretend Joker is Iverson playing with Eric Snow.

No one‘s saying he is, but he’s also not playing with an 8 time NBA All Star either.

The main thing Luka seems to have going for him is points and people think it’s crazy that he’s not a higher seed, people are comparing him to the season Jokic won MVP as a 6th seed completely ignoring who both players had on their squad in those years, it’s not close.

Jokic is averaging a double-double and is trailing Luka by .8 assists a game, has a better STOCK and better TS%, and clears him in Defensive rating.

Ok you made your point, same point you made a few weeks ago with the suns. That one didn’t work out, and you admitted to it. The Thunder have been the better team this season, all there is to it. You aren’t getting close to having 2 teams are you? lol.

Bro just say you are a homer and stop with the paragraphs

I get it. Murray, MPJ, and Gordon are all horrible players and should be in the gleague

Six straight 3s has a way of doing that for sure.

Got it, so because I’m a Nuggets fan, all of a sudden stats don’t matter.

Doesn’t matter that Jokic is literally the better player this year, I can’t say he’s a lock for MVP because he plays for my team.

Difference is suns never beat okc while Dallas destroyed them the one time they got them when both were full strength. I’m not talking about better team this season. I’m talking about h2h

Keep sleeping on the mavs though. Luka is a top 2 player in basketball in the post season.

Yes

I think I lost sight of the topic.

Are we talking SGA vs Luka or Thunder vs Mavs?

Really doesn’t matter if I’m sleeping on anyone or not I guess. I’m honestly not concerned about losing to a team that is just going to try to outscore the Thunder. That’s not the way to beat them. Bring some size and defense and you have a chance.

 

[Duffman]

Yes

Cool, just wanted to establish that. Facts dont care about your feelings though.

Thunder vs Mavs I think. No sense trying to compare superstars.

 

[bksballer89]

Both lol but he just want to hang on to the fact that okc wins vs Dallas came without either Kyrie or Luka and ignore that Dallas beat them by 35 the time when both were available

Eh….

Playoff Luka is a terrorist and we have seen what Kylie can do with the brightest lights.

I think the Thunder could beat every team out West, sans Lakers and Nugz.

But…

I wouldn’t pick them to beat the Suns due to lack of experience.

Book and KD can be old Book and KD for a series.

Lively is 7’1 and Gafford plays like he’s that height as well
