The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League

This series is ultimately about the Nuggets defense. and intelligence.
They scored more than well enough to win.

It's about attention to detail, toughness, game plan discipline.

if they play smart and tough, they win, if they continue to do clownish ridiculous things, Miami can beat them.

This is how I see it. Miami is too talented to disrespect them with playing stupid. They will beat you and if the Nuggets (Porter, KCP and Murray) don't play significantly better on defense they won't win and wouldn't deserve to win. More often than not the smarter and more disciplined team will win at this stage. We saw it last year with GS and Boston.

Ironically I had local clowns look at me crazy when I said that I was really concerned with the defense after Game 1 only to see the same/worse nonsense in Game 2. Denver's offense is good enough but the defense hasn't been. If they hit more of their threes like they have in every other series, the media would focus on the defense which is where the focus should be.

Let's keep it a buck, no black kids would want to play like him. Maybe white kids.

Jokic bringing byke the next gen of big men

Breath of fresh air after Wardell brought this current gen of half court chuckers

In all seriousness and jokes aside (not only bc it’s a good topic but also 10 years from now posters might pull receipts on your joke):

I hope the nbas talk of ratings and narratives helps change the way the league is covered. Listening to JVG during a game talk about stupid **** or SAS pregame speak nonsense is what’s killing the league. Talk about the sports and the best players. It’s not that hard.

Didn’t expect Zion to beat the milk merchant allegations

Normal human beings?

What’s more telling is how much more popular this denver vs miami finals is than the miami vs LAL series. Especially when you remember there wasn’t much for people to do in 2020 but stay home and watch tv.

Sports without fans was a very tough watch for a lot of people. It wasn’t the matchup itself necessarily

 

[Blue Mamba]

DCAllAfrican you got people in here arguing about ratings and key demos and how jokic doesn’t have IT. Basketball fans not so different from wrestling fans

 

[elpablo21]

Congrats to Zion

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Big kids definitely gonna want to play like Joker

normal sized kids, not so much....normal size kids tend to look up to guard play (MJ, Kob, LJ, Curry)

He's a big, he will appeal to big kids.

This is the one time my hopes and dreams for Zion have been dashed. I wanted him to relax and be happy but this isn't what I imagined.

Paul George and Zion super team confirmed
