All this parity and different squads winning last 5 seasons gives me hope.

Yes and no


The past 5 winners still had the best player in the league that year and playoff run

Kawhi
Lebron
Giannis
Curry
Jokic


Since 1990 if you didn’t have one of the following, you didn’t win a title (except Pistons in 04)

Isiah thomas
Jordan
Hakeem
Shaq
Kobe
Kg
Duncan
Leanord
Lebron
Dirk
KG
Wade
Giannis
Curry
Jokic

33 years. 15 players.


Point is. It’s still a super megastar league.

The Butlers, the Beals, Mitchell’s etc of the world historically won’t win as your best player. It’s not an opinion

But you expected them to lose another potential 8th seed


But to your credit






Shoutout to you being on the ship early fam

I had the vision. Didn't have to go against not one 50 win team. Did what they was supposed to do.

Nasty

This was 5 years ago.

And MPJ is like 25% of what he was supposed to be.

Mike Malone really isn’t satisfied tho.

He’s at this press conference talking about more.

He’s putting pressure on them to be a dynasty.

I mean it’s the nba, if Malone doesn’t win a 2nd in the next few years he’ll be replaced. The last championship coach to still have their team besides Kerr is Pop

 

[kingjay718]

That debate over Jusef Nurkic and Nikola Jokicway back when….and mind you JN isn’t a bum.

Credit to Coach Mike Malone and the Nuggets for allowing Joker to develop and not changing him. Any other coach or system would’ve gotten it wrong.

 

[mr s j king]

-Murray should have gotten FMVP despite Joker led the playoffs points/assists/rebounds.


Man go to sleep.

Spoiler

What categories did Iguodala lead the Warriors in when he won it?

What categories did Kyrie lead in 2016 since you believe he should have been MVP?

Mike Malone actually has a shot at it tho.

Unlike the other 4 previous winning HC’s.

Ish was cringe. No one gives AF about basketball over there

I really don't hate the nuggets, I'm just going by NT rules.

 

[iamjusayn]

This guy jokic has the body opposite of an nba player. Dude has his shirt off like

These dudes pouring michelob ultra beers on each other’s heads at the podium

 

[lynchpin33]

This loss enough to make Udonis come back and be a coach/player again next year?

 

[elpablo21]

Gave some teams a reality check in the East

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I wonder if Denver will get any ring chasers.

 

[dman14]

Gave some teams a reality check in the East

teams (mil and bos) going to make tough decisions because they took the L from miami
