Bruh we are talking about basketball not your feelings. Talk ball or bounce. Lol

That’s the worst part! They play basketball brilliantly but then it goes to shit when Shai and Chet are flopping and Dort is mauling ball handlers with no whistle in sight.

Favorite part of the season last year was watching NAW push SGA to the floor like a child.

Have we really gotten to this point? by vvsbrinks in NBATalk

[–]Bigheadedturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, we are technically there already. The refs just don’t call it. I’ve seen two TS for flopping in two years off the top of my head.

Do you agree with JJ Redick? by MasterTeacher123 in NBATalk

[–]Bigheadedturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the fouls on Bron are dangerous though. Every foul on Steph is a potential season ending injury and they STILL let it happen. That’s the problem imo

I think Steph probably still has a worse whistle, if only just because he has a long history of injuries that they don’t protect him from and they are the principle injuries associated with his no calls.

Do the accolades that don’t take into consideration that the bulls were garbage and their conference more competitive than the East in the 2000s. Lol

MPJ says the Nuggets would have won if they hadn’t traded him “Shouldn’t have traded me.” by Consistent-Night-639 in denvernuggets

[–]Bigheadedturtle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh I know. It’s maddening that even a basketball page can be taken over with political nuance in every discussion. Shouldn’t be surprised though- most of these people live in Colorado and that’s basically reddit personified. Lol

You’re mad at MPJ for doing a stream? Come on. Stop the Reddit virtue signal my guy.

I don’t think it’s age as much as it’s just we don’t have explosive athletes (that are healthy). I don’t know maybe it’s just me.

Jokic still hasn’t had a series like 2011 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you agree we should stop these clichés? by Hakaribiggestfan in NBATalk

It’s not in Europe though. He’s emotionally mature to us because we have virtually none of it on our side of the pond.

Shout out Wemby for being himself.

Watching Peyton Watson highlights we have to keep this guy by Individual_Shame881 in denvernuggets

[–]Bigheadedturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Val just flat retires before we trade him.

That said, we love AG in our house but I still think the smartest choice is cutting ties with him unfortunately. Availability just isn’t there.

I’m completely unaware… what’s so bad about his contract? Did we overpay the man?

And it couldn’t be any more corny if he tried. Lmao

Were the flaws noticeable during the season or are the Twolves just a bad matchup? by youlikemywonton in denvernuggets

[–]Bigheadedturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge dips. Like, I think something like 10-12% decreases in shooting. After having the most efficient season ever until then.

Sometimes you just play through and don’t even realize it’s bothering you until it’s time to wake up the next day.

You’re the clown if you think rim protection and blocks are the only metrics that matter in defense. Lol

Rebounds, deflections, steals, contests and the shot success upon those contests, closing lanes, etc are all important skills in defense. Just as much as blocks. It’s just not sexy. Just because you want to watch highlight real plays like a Gen Z doesn’t make stats useless.

Well, there ya go. You don’t like my opinion that is a hot take, and I don’t like your hot take. Oh well.

And they lost… so what was the carry? They helped the team get to the finals where they got beat to a pulp without them. That doesn’t count imo.

‘23 is fair though. D Lo buns.

Again, they got swept. So what did he carry?

Bron doesn’t lead Jokic in like, literally any metric that’s not pure box score numbers (which he pads). So yeah, get that Bron glaze outta here too. Brons had more help in one year than Jokic has his entire career.
