Giannis with a 22/9/5/2/1 first half.

It's against the Kings, though, so I should probably discount it by half.

Pretty good seats tonight to watch Russ record the first ever perfect trip dub (perfect from floor and ft line).

The Knicks are just sad. I mean, watching them is, you know what, I'm done

Jokic has 13/10/4 with over 4 mins to go in the 1st half @ Indy.

Sick behind the head pass to Gallo that led to a foul.

Jokic is Big Z and Sabonis' love child.

Me calling him the GOAT passing big man after seeing a single game from him is like my greatest call, he's obv Dood's baby tho.

lol Jokic just knocked it out of bounds and walked off with head down when the call went their way.

Then he gets the ball on a pick and pop off the inbounds and shoots a banker from the elbow.

I know it's nitpicking, but he needs to get in way better shape. Then again I wonder if his powers are related to the size of his belly like Diaw's.

I'm enjoying the Nuggs commentary team gently taking the piss as well, eg, Jokic nabs another defensive rebound - Commentator: "Nikola jumped as high as he can to grab that one", Colour guy agreeing: "Got up on tip-toes."

Also - he sat the first 4/5 mins of the 2nd quarter, Indiana cuts a 12 pt lead to 3. Comes in for Plumlee looking dragging himself on court like he's just run 5km. Lead immediately balloons back to 15pts.

Jokic is like Sabonis but instead of non working knees, he's made out of pillows

That would definitely reduce the charm of it all if he did.

Really, he's center-version Larry Bird is what's going on.

Dood is right about Plumlee as the quasi-backup as well vis a vis Nurk. It's like a backup qb, he steps in and the offense is still the same but Vick backing up Flacco wouldn't be the case - one reason Tebow couldn't ever stick.

Nurk is a young starting quality qb, you gotta ship him off to another team even if he's value.

Except in rare circustances, teams can't have two true starting quality centers and/or point guards on the roster long term.

They each need their own team. All other positions are fungible.

You can end up with Darren Collison or Devin Harris as your backup pg, but they have to sail their maiden voyage first. Not very many Travis Best's anymore.

He told the Timberwolves broadcasters that he hates exercising and would try to get out of high school gym class. And that he could not do a pushup until last year.

This Suns starting 5 would be the 4th youngest starting 5 in the NCAA tournament this year.

With the magics winning and the 6ers beating the bulls it's even more important that the wolves lose to the lakers tonight imo. Let's find out if Kris Dunn is the point guard of the future imo.
