What Denver’s been doing without Murray is pretty damn impressive. Up 8 against the Clippers right now.

Joker is by far the MVP

yeah, he’s a freaking beast.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Denver is freaking good.

Oh my lord... that was a ridiculous pass by Joker for the dagger three.

Good news, Denver won to create a bit more separation against LAC.
Bad news, Utah won and we're back to 2nd in the west, half a game back of the Jazz

I’d take the standings if the season ended right now. Denver in the 2nd rd.

i’d be even better with this if the Lakers get to 5. We get Denver in the 2nd round and put Utah, Clips and the Lakers on the other side of the bracket? Seems like the best way to get the WCF to me.

Yep... Jokic is amazing but our backcourt is a huge mismatch for them. Getting one of the LA teams after a long series with Utah is best case (assuming of course we don’t flame out before that).

I know he’s annoying and polarizing around these parts but what Luka is doing at 22 has only really been done by Lebron in the last 30 years. I’m still not sure whether losing 15lbs would benefit or hurt him. He’d be better defensively but he uses every bit of his weight offensively.

Yup. 31pts, 20 assists (ASSISTS, not rebounds), 12 rebounds in game won by one.

a stat line of 30/20/12 is beyond ridiculous.

He is annoying but if he's polarizing it's regarding his behavior, not his performance. I think almost everyone here understands the guy is just an incredible player.

Luka's weight will probably seek it's level. Jokic played at a heavier weight for years but seems lighter now and playing as good or better.

I know he's a bad shooter who is prone to bad decisions and doesn't reliably seem to make his teammates better, but I will always love Westbrook's game.

Interesting the comment comes as soon as it looks like the Lakers might have to be in the play in.

How dare they make The King play in a play-in tournament!

he carried OKC to the playoffs and looks like he’s going to do it with Washington

The Lakers are not a happy team.
