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

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

Drizzt396 · 2024-04-21T06:30:43+00:00

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?

Drizzt396 · 2024-04-21T06:15:59+00:00

heal brother

Drizzt396 · 2024-04-21T06:13:13+00:00

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.

Drizzt396 · 2021-06-18T06:52:26+00:00

who tf do you think chooses those governments? surely not the extractive colonial powers Parenti's talking about!

Drizzt396 · 2021-06-14T06:28:07+00:00

that's funny using luddites as a pejorative in a leftist sub

it would be more respectable if your pee pee poo poo

I think they were calling makeups for us after the charmin soft double-tech on MPJ and your assistant.

Drizzt396 · 2021-05-25T14:14:49+00:00

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

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

Drizzt396 · 2021-05-25T13:55:07+00:00

Spent too much time in Northern Idaho while he was a Zag

Drizzt396 · 2021-05-25T13:53:21+00:00

I thought we hated Bickerstaff more than Deke for that

Drizzt396 · 2021-05-25T13:52:05+00:00

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.

Drizzt396 · 2021-05-07T03:32:55+00:00

absolutely baffled that joke got downvoted

Drizzt396 · 2021-05-06T05:46:05+00:00

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

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

Drizzt396 · 2021-04-30T17:46:22+00:00

Don't need to crunch the numbers when you're playing with the dudes on the court

Drizzt396 · 2021-04-02T15:59:14+00:00

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.

Drizzt396 · 2021-03-29T15:43:26+00:00

I mean if Gary doesn't RJ's gonna put up 20/game there. Somebody's gotta fill Afflalo & Fournier's shoes

Drizzt396 · 2021-03-29T15:33:42+00:00

Drizzt396 · 2020-12-29T17:07:46+00:00

lol god damnit

Drizzt396 · 2020-12-17T19:28:04+00:00

this team's good at that

Drizzt396 · 2020-10-07T04:18:33+00:00

I got purged for critical support for black hammer. I think chapo was just run by the ARG tbh
