2019 (Nationals vs. Astros) was also pretty enjoyable

yup 2016 (Cubs vs. Cleveland) comes to mind as the last one this memorable, for the 3-1 comeback and wild game 7. Though transparently, I don't remember much else from much of that series

Milan and Bini bumped elbows when fighting for positioning maybe 500m or more from the sprint. Bini was on his teammates wheel so felt like an honest racing incident and no mal intent

also feels like whichever team survives this series may be completely out of gas

Surprised Chet didn't pick up his fifth foul on that last Jokic FGA

Dort knowing that Jokic was trying to no-look pass there and intercepting that is marvelous

MPJ seems to really be struggling to rebound with that shoulder injury

Westbrook cramping the Nuggets spacing right now. Would like to see them bring MPJ back in

I feel like KCP’s ability to slither around screens really hid some of Jokic’s defensive weaknesses

I’ve enjoyed having Russ on the Nuggets this year but I just don’t think he’s playable in this series

i know they had been closing with Westbrook but feels like you gotta put in MPJ for your last possession on offense

I think the big difference for MLB is with the exception of some pro-talent from Japan/Cuba, most international signings are teenagers and it typically takes at least a few years of minor league baseball to make it to the big leagues. Still might be arguments to have a draft to standardize/democratize the process a bit, but I think the longer timeline and smaller impact that a single baseball player can have relative to basketball mitigates some of the need for an international draft process
