Series Thread: 2) Nuggets vs 3) T'Wolves

[LogicMan]

Another in a long line of 'baby Jordan' labels. Remember Harold Miner? OJ Mayo?

To be fair Edwards looks more legit than them but I don't see it...he's too small for one thing. Kobe was Jordan 2.0

Wow Harold Miner. I remember that. I am old

I am pretty sure I would think this whether it would benefit my Wolves or not....

But I think it is ridiculous that Jamal Murray wasnt suspended for at least one game. Hell I guess I dont even care if it was a penalty that carried over to the regular season next year. But he should get suspended for throwing shit onto the court. That is beyond ridiculous. $100k to a guy that makes his kind of money is peanuts. That is literally less than $300 to a guy like me.

As a Nuggets fan, I don’t disagree.

The Celtics from that era were known as a physical, defense first team...they had a devastating fast break.

Were you cursing while typing that? Gotta sting a bit saying something good about the Celtics.

I know when I've said good things about the Lakers I got nauseous.

 

[Jordan23]

See the NBA wants nuggets to have a chance by not suspending Murray. Way to slap on the wrist Silver

Yeah, I may need to go lie down for awhile.

 

[trojanfan12]

On the Jamal Murray stuff, the fine was appropriate, imo. If someone had slipped on it or gotten hurt, then the NBA would have suspended him.

This isn't Draymond Green where you have a bunch of previous issues to consider.

 

[Think McFly Think]

Yeah, I may need to go lie down for awhile.

If you need to throw up I got you fam.

 

[DaEagles]

Someone didn't watch any fast breaks from the Showtime Lakers...or any other teams

LMAO...ya cause wide open fast break layups are the same as half court offense wide open layups

Gonna ignore me tagging you with this?

LMAO, ok you got me. You showed me an 8 minute video that I'm not gonna watch.

Dude again, if you think a fast break layup is the same as a wide open layup in the half court offense that's on you.

If you think todays defense is much better then back in the day that's also your deal. Seems others think the same way. I don't and I don't think it's even close. And I'm sure there are others out there who also think the way I do.

You can come back with another video, and then back to the Wolves.

And if you can't figure out that wide open layup in half court are largely the result of more spacing due to having to defend the 3, that's on you.

If you think todays defense is much better then back in the day that's also your deal. Seems others think the same way. I don't and I don't think it's even close. And I'm sure there are others out there who also think the way I do.

Well clearly, if others disagree they are obviously wrong. lol

Good luck finding anyone credible who thinks the way you do.

Yep.

And the flip side is it is really easy to not give up half court layups when the offense has 2 bigs set up within 12’ of the rim most of the time.

Well sure, it’s easy to keep thinking you know what you’re talking about if you ignore all evidence to the contrary. Makes no difference to me that you’re an idiot.

 

[DaEagles]

Lowest avg offensive points a game was 106 (Memphis) points a game, the highest avg points per game was 123 (Pacers).

Now that's some lock down D.

But they space it out and shoot 3's now. And they have some fast break layups.

 

[DaEagles]

Yep.

Or cause they would foul the shit out of em instead of just letting them have it.

 

[Duffman]

You know it’s a shame that injuries have caused the past two years of Nuggets/Wolves series to not reach their full potential, we all know how the Nuggets dominated the Wolves last year with a few players they were missing just like the Wolves are killing the Nuggets this year with Denver’s injuries.

I’m not afraid to admit it, the megastar Vlatko Cancar is sorely missed.

That isn’t basketball.

And because the floor is spaced, there isn’t anyone there to foul them.

Wait what? What big players are out for Denver? And truth is the wolves are flat out dominating them regardless of any minor bumps or bruises on Denver.

As I said, Vlatko Cancar, they are definitely missing his dominating presence.
