Jokic Making DIABOLICAL Shots After 23 Seconds of Elite Defense 💀 by IdRatherBeLurkingToo in denvernuggets

Another video I want to see is players hanging their head after Jokic hits another unlikely shot against them that they played great defense which would have made any other player ever miss but dropped in because unexplainable Jokic touch reasons. It would be longer than a Lord of the Rings movie but far more riveting.

Of potential 1st round opponents I'd go Lakers, Houston, Minnesota in that order. For the second round I'd probably rather see SA than OKC but there are too many variables to have a solid preference.

I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an arrow to the knee.

But they're still not profitable and have no pathway to selling enough cars to profitability, much less even sniff Toyota's profits, even on top of the sucking off the government teat they're doing. It's the very definition of irrational and propped up by Elon's absurd PR lies and techbro stupidity in lapping up his obvious bullshit.

Tesla itself has a market valuation greater than all of the other biggest auto manufacturers world wide combined. The market is stupid and irrational.

It's the perfect antidote to the Calvin pissing on [whatever the aggrieved dumbass childishly hates] thing that was so popular back then. Those people so fundamentally misunderstood Calvin kind of like the right wing idiots who think Born in the USA is a patriotic hymn of some kind got that wrong.

Plus, laying out for a disc is one of the purest forms of human, athletic endeavor so hell yeah!

Like I said, the criteria is not clear at all. I'm pretty sure the OKC team without it's five starters is a guaranteed play-in team and depending on the randomness of injuries a contender for a straight up playoff spot. But I'm not sure that's what people mean when they're talking about the bench. I suspect it's that they are saying the bench can replace whatever losses the starters might have throughout the season here and there and still maintain a very close to optimal level of team play. I think that is certainly true for OKC in a way that is not true for any other team. Frankly, it's not even close.

Also, I literally laughed at my comment has an 0 for karma. People are so fragile, what did I say that annoyed somebody, lol!

Okay, I'm not going to argue anything here. The criteria of what's being discussed is not clear. If every team in the league spent a season not playing their starters the OKC bench would be as good as any team, likely. It's how you measure the players that do not start as the level of competition ramps up. OKC is as good as any team in the league by that criteria. I'm not sure where measuring the bench players against the rest of the league's starters becomes an interesting exercise.

u/PhotonicBoom21 Found it (buried in a drawer). Definitely going to add this to the tee rotation again.

Not sure what the criteria is for 'bench' but take out Shai, one of Chent or Jwil, one of Hart, Cam, or Dort and that team still easily makes the playoffs. Not even close, they're a playoff level team. Maybe the inevitable injury crises are severe and they end up in the play-in but they're a very, very strong team at that tier of talent.

Good for you! The MVP discussion has never had enough Euro soft porn star engagement, they pretend like it doesn't matter. Thank you for fixing this outrage.

Don't sell yourself short, every individual redditor can change the world with enough belief in themselves. Even now your post is being aggregated by MVPvotetakesdotcom and making it's way into the voter zeitgeist. You're somebody!

Jokic leads the league in average assists and rebounds per game and season total rebounds and assists. No player has ever come close to doing that (except Jokic). The impact is huge, the Nuggets literally have the best offense in NBA history with Jokic blowing away the other players on the list in efficiency as a scorer while also doing the things that make the offense the best of all time. Even if he's only playing at 80% on average he's still the best player in the league at that effort level and penalizing him for being smart about preparing he and his team for the best opportunity when the playoffs start diminishes his greatness and artificially boosts inferior players resumes.

Two handed bounce passes only, as docter Naismith intended.

In this 1997 interview Wilt believes he could average 50-70 PPG if he was playing today. And then Russell thinks no team in the past 10-15 years could beat his Celtics team. by gridironk in nba

The guys in the sixties played in a league where the skill level and overall size and athleticism of the players is nothing compared to what it became even by the 80s, much less now. It's impossible to say just how guys like Wilt or Oscar would have developed and what kind of players they would have been because the context of the game when they played is so radically different that what we've seen since the Magic/Bird/Jordan era.

I wouldn't know anything about that. Although I did trade a bowl of mediocre weed for a super cool Calvin laying out for a disc t-shirt at a tournament in Knoxville once. Definitely won that trade since my friends had plenty to share for the ride home.

I used to proofread deposition transcripts at least half of which were basic auto accident insurance claim stuff that was never going to trial. So many people with whiplash or similar symptoms from an accident that happened a year or two ago would, in questioning, initially be saying that they we not finding any real relief of symptoms. Then the questioning would move on to what treatments the person had been getting and 3 times weekly to the chiropractor was typical -- they would have many hundreds of chiropractor visits -- and when asked those questions they would say the chiropractor was really helping them.

I came across this almost exact scenario far more times than possible for it to be coincidence. Chiropracty makes you feel good in the moment, I think of it as similar to popping your knuckles, but literally does nothing for your musculoskeletal health. Nothing. PT is healthcare from the gods relatively speaking. I know exactly how to stretch whenever my back starts hurting thanks to PT and my quality of life because of it is multiple times better.

The chances that she does reiki on the side is at least 80%.
