    When you have LeBron on your team, continuity does not exist as a word. For all of his on court “brilliance,” he’s really, really dumb when it comes to roster construction. I can’t decide who’s worse at this, Magic or LeBron.
    Oh well, at least Jeanie and the Rambii will be happy for the next three years while milking LeBron for all of that money. Go Capitalism!!!

    If our FO have the chance they will ship out DLo, Austin and Rui for that coveted “star.”
    They don’t value continuity either. They should, but they blew up the Bubble Chip squad and are 0-6 with the last six coaches.
    That being said, Rob seems to have learned from the Westbrick debacle.
    Have Jeanie or the Rambii learned anything?

    not to beat a dead horse, but i'm tired of the idolatry of taller jason terry:

    life is good when daddy jokic is there to bail you out, and you can play one good game in three and look like a hero.

    i know, though.

    even if murray has a huge game 7, he's still riding in jokic's backpack.

    Of course playing with Jokic helps everybody, he is the best in the world. But Murray is injured too, I think you're being unfair.
    He's far from the top guards level (Luka, Curry, Irving, SGA) but he is at least near the level of Don or Brunson and better than Trae or Harden imo. He's not Jason Terry man

    He had a b2b against Don with both putting 50 in the bubble

    I hate Murray with the heat of 1000 suns, but I agree with this.

    He’s a good player that’s probably just injured right now.

    yeah, i'll keep fighting this one. his numbers don't compare favorably to brunson or harden or mitchell or anyone else people are claiming are in his tier. AND he's doing it all with jokic garnering all primary defensive attention. nobody else has had that advantage.

    it's also weird to me that every time he has a bad game, he's hurt, and then he goes out the next game and looks totally fine. then has a bad game and is suddenly hurt again. maybe he's just...inconsistent.

    anyway, not a superstar. not even a perennial allstar.

    Very fair and valid point. It’s almost like people are blindly following a false narrative that is propped up by zero evidence.
    Hmmmmmm.
    “Well, that’s just my truth, so you have to accept it as reality!”

    kid is clutch though. Maybe his overall stats aren't gaudy, but he does seem to show up big when needed

    I am indifferent towards Denver, they are alright. One of the better options for winning the championship... at least one that I can tolerate.

    facts. just like bibby and terry before him.

    ""

    they're totally inoffensive aside from murray and malone. and really, malone's only an a** towards us for whatever reason. he's respectful in all other dealings.

    i'll still root for them against boston. not against dallas, though.

    so glad tall mike bibby miraculously became non-injured again. so amazing, right?

    Minny may pull this out. They have taken the lead in the fourth quarter.

    Murray simply lost it for Denver. They put some defensive pressure on him in the 4th and... he just crumbled.

    3:05 left, and I think they’ve held Denver to 29 points in the 2nd half so far.
