Hey Seadood the Nuggets are ****ing GOOD.

Its really sad that Jamal Murray got hurt as this could’ve really been their year.

MPjr is ON FIRE so far tonight. Nuggets are still live to beat ANYONE in the West imho.

Nuggets D is super impressive. Malone has them flying around. There was a possession in the middle of the 1st that ended in Blake hitting the side of the backboard that was super elite ball movement by the Nets. Against most they shoulda had a few diff great looks but the Nuggets were rotating with fury.

I'm skeptical the offense can hold up. Jokic is all time, MPJ has been great, but I'd bet on regression from him in the postseason. Not much else beyond the two of them, it's gonna take a Herculean effort from Jokic.

If Oklahoma had made a game of it Curry would be shooting for some records tonight. As it is, 11-20 on 3's in 3 quarters is pretty awesome.

I think Jokic tried to throw the ball at the ref at the end and Facu intercepted it.

curry drops 49 points in 29 minutes on 26 shots with only 1 turnover, and its a footnote because he only got 5 rebounds and 2 assists. **** is so infuriating

Not sure what you mean by regression from MPJ, he’s been an elite shooter his whole life. He will probably settle in with 43-45% on high volume. They should be a lot better offensively with monte back and hopefully Will later in round 1 or round 2 if they get there.

They were without Millsap, Gordon, Murray, Morris, dozier, and Barton. Decent showing given all that on a b2b they weren’t really needing to win (hence the scratches). They’ll get Dallas for round 1 and I like them if only barely. Round 2 vs Utah is probably a 30/70 for them, so better than last year

Yeah it does. Not just Murray but Barton, Morris, and dozier. Monte is close to coming back, but there just isn’t much time left. Next year though look out.

Last night felt like a game in which Curry might well have broken the single game record for 3s if he had played 6-8 minutes in the fourth quarter.

It'd be super lame if the knicks/hawks played each other in the 1st round, I don't wanna be seeing any of those 2 teams with no equity in the 2nd round

hoping heat can sneak in to 5th

Need blocks for the fantasy championship. Can only add 1. Who do you get?

If it matters, I have Noel and J. Brown who would offset Gibson or Fall

if it ends today then it's too like to make the pickup as they won't appear on roster until monday, otherwise gibson has safest floor imo but he sometimes finds his way out of the rotation

It ends today and yahoo adds are immediate. Right now I'm down by 2 blocks but projected (based solely on season average) to have 3 more than him today. Safe floor is probably good.

Hayes should get minutes with both Adams & Zion in recent DNP status.

McDaniels playing pretty significant minutes of late.

Fall is as likely to be DNP-CD as he is to get any worthwhile minutes.

Revise your estimates by narrowing your block search to the last 14 days.

Gibson averaging 1.5 blocks in the last two weeks; skewed somewhat by a 5 block game.

What I mean is he's a #2 scorer who has been assisted on almost 80% of his baskets, with almost 75% of his shots being in the restricted area or 3s. He's never been schemed against (at this level) in his entire life. A 7 game series just brings different levels of effort in terms of taking away top options. I'm extremely confident Jokic can overcome that bc he gets it every night. I think MPJ will be more at the mercy of the volatility of his semi-contested 3s going in or not.

This isn't some sort of hate on MPJ, he's 22 years old and has a 67% TS% and shooting 45% from 3. He's fantastic. And has plenty of time/skill to develop more of an arsenal that is less reliant on Jokic or exploiting bad defenses. Also keep in mind, "regression" from him could still be perfectly fine. I just think, without Murray, they need him to be his regular season super-efficient self, and that it's going to be far more difficult when he's getting much more attention.

Carson Edwards - getting ESPN minutes; likely because his Mom called Brad.

It’s not like the other short guys on the roster are doing a thing. Both Kemba and PP were getting posted up like crazy. Might as well try another one

If anything good's come out of this year, it's that both Pritchard & Nesmith look like NBA rotation players.

I still think Edwards' Mom rang Stevens up.
