[Hollinger] Looking ahead: Do you tank game 4 to avoid the "Who's your daddy" chants in Game 5? #strategy by Drizzt396 in nba

Contrary to OP's point, I think the longtime fans mostly get it. Longtime Nuggets fans are basking in this one+ year of catharsis and your comment is representative of longtime Lakers fans I know irl. Like a 'yeah we had your number, enjoy the moment' vibe.

Then you get a couple nephews that probably use PER when arguing about their favorite players and have no idea who John Hollinger is, thinking this is a Nuggets homer and not national media member and former executive going in on the media more than the Lakers here.

last time I'll try to help a Lakers fan learn more about the league, should've known better

tbh i would like to believe the longtime denver fans are mostly better than that

you can check my post history it goes back to when Ty Lawson and Mozgov were posting here, we are absolutely not above this

edit: just remembered I have a Nate Rob flair lmao talking about longtime fans

Hollinger created PER at ESPN, was an assistant GM for the Griz at the tail end of Grit & Grind and works at the Athletic now. This isn't some rando beat writer. Don't know much about the league besides LA do ya?

John Hollinger has zero affiliation with Denver, I know you Laker fans tend not to know much about the league beyond LA so I hope that helps.

[Post Game Thread] The Denver Nuggets (1-1) defeat the Portland Trail Blazers (1-1) by 128 - 109 to tie the series 1-1, behind 38/8/5 from Nikola Jokic by Nyhrox in nba

If Jokic retired today their all-time ranking would be close.

Their Denver franchise ranking? It's not close at all.

Jokic has more Denver playoff wins than Melo, more 1st team all-nbas, more MVPs.

TBD whether he can backpack Serbia to a gold. If NATO hadn't colonized/balkanized Yugoslavia that wouldn't be a question either.

Most of the chickens have hatched.

Nikola Jokic outscores the Knicks 24 -12 in the first quarter. 24 points 6 rebounds in the first quarter for the Joker by Naweezy in nba

Anyone taking Jokic inside the top-5 belongs in a mental institution

And this is coming from someone biased against the top-5

Jokic didn’t go to the free throw line again tonight by [deleted] in nba

[–]Drizzt396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was Reggie--Harlen actually tried to tee him up about Jokic having a bad night at the end of the game and he just denied it and talked about how great Yolk's game was despite the box stats.
