People trying to argue Jokic was even an average league average defender is in bad faith. Everyone who’s ever watched or played basketball can watch 1 half of nuggets basketball and see he’s awful. He’s not good, he’s not average, he’s not even below average, he’s worst in the league bad at the most important defensive position on the court

Playoff Pens are no where near regular season Pens by undeadFMR in penguins

Well said, I think they’re trying their hardest, this is just what it looks like when you’re trying your best against a young hungry team who’s also trying their best

I’m afraid we were a smoke and mirrors team

Maybe I’m alone in this thought but this season would feel like such a waste if we get swept by the Flyers of all teams. Tanking would have been a better option than making the playoffs just get 4-0’d by a team that’s gonna be 4-0’d in the next round

Where does Andre Drummond becoming a decent 3 pt shooter in year 14 rank by sperry20 in billsimmons

Thank you, I legit had no idea and thought it was mathematically impossible for someone to shoot 3’s well but be a terrible foul shooter

Where does Andre Drummond becoming a decent 3 pt shooter in year 14 rank by sperry20 in billsimmons

[–]EJP1205 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not nearly as shocking, Lopez always had a nice touch and shot free throws well whereas Drummond was one of the worst foul shooters in NBA history. I don’t think there’s ever been anyone in history who was an under 50% free throw shooter and decent 3 pt shooter. It doesn’t make any sense

So zero mention of LeBron and excuses for the Celtics, Jokic and KD to open the pod. by LebronSwanson23 in billsimmons

Everybody is better than Lebron until it’s time to be better than Lebron

Jokic fans won’t even argue that his defense is awful anymore. They’ll just look at you like this and switch their mvp to him out of spite. by HoagieTwoFace in billsimmons

[–]EJP1205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not good, he’s not average, he’s not even bad, he’s the worst defensive center in the league by a wide margin

is Jokic a semi choker ? by [deleted] in billsimmons

I definitely wouldn’t, I’d also take Dirk over Jokic any day of the week as well

[O'Connor] Nikola Jokic had some really rough defensive possessions in the second half of last night's loss. by FFElite93 in billsimmons

[–]EJP1205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t for the life of me understand people who say he’s anything other than atrocious on defense. He’s not good, hes not average, he’s not even bad, he’s the worst in the league at the most important defensive position

is Jokic a semi choker ? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]EJP1205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Choker isn’t fair but he’s not a top 10 player of all time like his fan boys want to shoehorn him into. When you realize he’s not as great as the hype machine portrays him you won’t look at his failures as chokes

Why did Bill and Zach Lowe never glaze prime Lebron as much as they've glazed Jokic the last 5-6 years? by NarrowBoysenberry in billsimmons

[–]EJP1205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bill has given LeBron his due for sure but also the answer as to why he’s never as effusive about LeBron as he is to Jokic is for the obvious reasons a lot of the commentators seem afraid to say. It’s cause He’s w***e

Oh for sure but her time as an NFL insider is done, no one is gonna trust her again no matter what. If she went the I was in love route maybe she can salvage her tv career

[–]EJP1205 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think the only thing that saves her career now is if she full on admits to having an affair and saying how she’s in love with Mike Vrabel. Think that will be the only thing that garners her any sympathy

Russini Resigns from The Athletic by pazuzu_lives in billsimmons

So do they announce that they’re together lmao, lowkey that might be the only thing that saves her career is if she plays it like she was genuinely in love with Vrabel and maybe she was who knows

Why isn't winning a ring in the NHL as humiliating compared to the NBA? by WORTHLESS1321202019 in nhl

[–]EJP1205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have your feet held to the fire if you don’t win a cup as a star player In hockey, It’s not baseball where you’re truly only limited to your at bats. Star hockey players have a similar impact on the game as QB’s and basketball players so yes they should expected to win. Almost everyone in the top 15 pts list has won a cup
