I don't mean to say Murray isn't a very good and important player for Denver, but I don't think they're necessarily screwed. On many nights, he isn't even their second best player, MPJ is. MPJ will need to step up more consistently, sure, and there is now more opportunity for Gordon. And Morris is a very good backup PG.
Certainly their margin for error is slimmer, but even without Murray they can beat anybody, IMO."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

the thing about the playoffs is when you lose a piece like that is yeah, they can beat anybody on any given night, true. Can they win 3, 7 game series? Remember, they were golfing after the first round last year if not for Murray losing his mind.
They are better now, but he is a big loss and they are not going deep with out him.

I'm not saying it isn't a hudge loss, and of course it seriously impacts their chances. But Jokic is even better this year, MPJ was a rookie last year and is significantly improved, and this could be his opportunity to step up and become a star. And Gordon can also make a big impact. And they have a ready made good replacement for him at the point.
I think their title chances were pretty damn slim to begin with, so saying they aren't going to win a title now isn't going out on a limb. Yes, HIGHLY unlikely they win 4 7 game series now. As opposed to highly unlikely that they win 4 7 game series with Murray. But I do think they can beat anyone in a 7 game series, even without Murray."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Yeah, I mean, Denver will probably advance past the first round riding Jokic but it's going to be pretty tough after that. As a Warriors fan I know as well as anyone, man, injuries fucking suck. I feel like we're getting robbed of some potentially great playoff matchups. I'd be down for another Denver / Jazz series.

I think you're over valuing MPJ. He's a good offense threat and incredibly gifted but his basketball iq is low and he's a liability on defense. I agree that's he's young and has a ton of potential to become a star but he doesn't see the floor like murray, jokic, gordon or even campazzo at this point in his career.
Speaking of which, the only good thing that comes of murray getting injured is getting to watch Frank Campazzo more often. I think Campazzo is my favorite rookie this year besides LaMelo. Campazzo's highlight reel this year is insane. So glad the nuggets drafted this dude and gave him a shot at the NBA.

Kinda bummed that the nets are benching Durrant and Harden for tonight's nets vs sixers game. I was really looking forward to these two going off after Ben Simmons has been running his mouth about how great he is this past week.

^yup....but motivation for sixers is winning for a possible tie situation. Nets have become more hated than Lake-show. For me anyway.

Yeah, finishing first in the East is pretty important, given that there seem to be 3 top teams. Having to play only one of those teams, and not 2, in the playoffs is a big deal.

A bit too close at the end but a win is a win. 1st place with the tie breaker. When does Hill finally start playing?

That Celtics Blazers game was fun. Tatum is ice. Also, old Melo took young Prichard to school. That was nasty.

NBA 2020-2021, Let the Season Begin
Curry just put up a casual 42 in 29 minutes. I know I’m a homer but I don’t care, he’s the freakin’ MVP. Teams are doubling him (or more) all game long and it still doesn’t matter. I guarantee you the Jazz do not want to see this team land the 8 seed.

I'm not sure he's the MVP, but I do think Curry is underrated, as crazy as that sounds.

I feel a little dirty saying this, but I kinda like the idea of the play in games (or at least I am curious about it and want to see what it looks like). It makes some excitement and reason to keep grinding to stay in the top 6, whereas in the past teams could coast a little more at the end of the regular season. It makes a lot of excitement for more teams near the end, and more uncertainty for the top 2 teams as to who they are playing.
I am not definitely in favor of it, but I am not fully against it and definitely interested to see how it goes."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

They're not scared of losing the series, more so the Warriors would be a pain in the ass for a first round matchup for a one seed. Curry when he's rolling has the ability to steal a couple of games and make them work for it. That's all.
And yeah, he has a 0.00% chance of actually winning MVP, I'm fully aware. But in some ways what he's doing right now is more impressive than 2016.I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Lamarcus Aldridge is retiring, effective immediately, because of a heart condition.
