and the Nuggets are winning the NBA title - it's as close to a lock as anything you'll see in sports. They make me feel the way Tiger made me feel in like 06 , why is anyone else even trying?

Their closest competition is the team they're playing now, and they're up 2-0 on even that team. To have stolen this series the Lakers obviously had to steal one on the road and get more balanced games from AD. But they're in a two game hole and Davis can't play defense if he's scoring and can' t score if he's playing defense, so here we are.

Nuggs may sweep the Heat or Celtics (On pride, Butler probably won't let them get swept) But Jokic is a transcendent player who will go down Top 10 of all time. Murray on his own is the best scorer on about 20 other teams in the league. Their ability to just get huge buckets in huge moments and close big leads in like 90 seconds of game clock ... I mean I see that shit happen in college all the time, but at this level it's not so common.

It's hilarious that Embiid beat out Jokic for MVP, because I just watched that emotional wreck sloppy ass Sixers team gag and quit and while the Nuggets seem to get BETTER when they're down and have to tap into their resolve. Jokic is the best player on earth and it's not really up for debate. It seems life or death to him...the effort never ebbs and flows, it's up all night. If you aren't a Lakers fan but love hoops you can only just watch in awe and appreciate him.

My brother and I went to see the Nuggets when they came to town in March. Looking at Joker's line at the end of the night was puzzling - he scored over 30, double digit boards, and almost a triple double and it felt like he never even tried.
