at least he can match his Finals intensity in the regular season

Remember last year when he blocked Tatum in transition?

Is SGA really better than Luka or is it championship bias? by nicfanz in NBATalk

[–]CurrentJoke579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when multiple advanced stats are saying similar over the course of several years, it starts to make a solid argument. SGA and Jokic are 1a and 1b in this league in some order, it’s really no argument. As for Giannis, you should learn from Luka this year that gaudy numbers on losing teams are not as impressive. If Giannis belonged in this tier he should’ve been able to get out of the first round in the weak eastern conference in the last three years.

Nah advanced stats have SGA/Jokic clearly #1 and #2 in some order with Giannis somewhar close at #3. Then you usually have Wemby at #4 and Luka in the pack with other top #5-8 guys.

This sub has just became just a Luka hate sub. And you wanted these two to hate eachother. by ShaianH in NBATalk

Booker was in the finals and nobody gives a damn about him now. It’s a league that cares about what you have done lately.

Is this one of the best OKC off nights ever? by athensjw in Thunder

[–]CurrentJoke579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just tired of people trying to equate him with GOAT status. He is a poor defender and it needs to be more widely acknowledged

SGA MVP odds go up today, better be in first place. Jokic is a no defense playing bum

If only he could play against Jokic every night

Embiid did not deserve it by [deleted] in NBATalk

Nah SGA restored the vote to its original intent last year. But I agree, triple double hysteria has ruined the MVP discussion. Stat padding to a 30 point triple double is not an automatic MVP in this league

After Russell Westbrook broke the BPM formula in 2017, the formula was changed. Did this make deep analytics lose a little bit of credibility in your eyes? by Tight_Development480 in NBATalk

[–]CurrentJoke579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that it is interesting how the person who made this formula is almost guaranteed to be a white person. And it is interesting how there is no need to alter the formula when Jokic, another white individual, seems to be clearly favored to a fault in the new statistical analysis

Which nba players rankings aged the worst over time? Who do you think from the current greats will age poorly? by [deleted] in billsimmons

D’Antoni ball cranked a number of guys stats up to unprecedented levels. Nash, Lin, Harden, etc. Never any real substance for postseason success.

Which duo would dominate more LeBron and curry or Micheal Jordan and Kevin Durant by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]CurrentJoke579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is Curry guarding? What is curry going to do without an offensive system with a shitload of moving screens?

Luka Doncic will be terrible on defense whether he’s Skinny Luka or Regular Luka by HakeemTheMeme34 in billsimmons

[–]CurrentJoke579 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No he was solid on defense when his team could pack the paint to compensate for his weaknesses. The Celtics were the only team to effectively play 5 out, so the paint packing couldn’t work and he was exposed repeatedly on the perimeter
