Fuck that Bagels. Long live the Joker!

This Denver team is going to compete for titles starting next year. They are a year early.

Eh I'm kinda cool on the Nuggets
But I do like Fox and their young core and plus they got Barnes my guy with the GS connect
I definitely want them to hold off the Lakers

Shit the Kings are like 3 years early

Jokic is great and they'll likely win a opening round series but I can't see them going past that

Depends on the matchup but I think WCF is their obvious ceiling this year.

If Durant leaves I do think they will be a legit title contender next year.

Yea well a lot of other people will be too if that happens :lol:

Although if they lost Durant and Thompson too that would be interesting to see how good they'd be

I’ll clarify.

I think Denver will be a top 3 team and one of the top 3 favorites to win the title going into next postseason if Durant isn’t with GS.

Beasley could be a game changer as a late bloomer.

Y’all really need to appreciate Jokic’s Walton-esque outlet passes. Only Love and Webber have close to that skill in my lifetime and neither are close to Jokic’s skill level at it.

I did not realize Will Barton’s local nickname was Will to Thrill. Not great but I’m not gonna hate right now.

He is a great passer. No disputing that. Other aspects of his game i.e. low post and defense are lacking however.

You’re right. I think his floor spacing, shooting, and passing overcomes that though.

I also know for a fact his defense has gotten a lot better. He doesn’t have the athleticism to ever be great at it but he tries way more than ever before and he’s become adequate.

I think his passing ability is transcendent. I’ve never seen someone his size pass the ball with the touch and accuracy he displays regularly on those. He really does run the entire offense without being ball dominant about it and i just love that style.

The motherfucking Joker.

What a game. I love this guy. “Doesn’t look pretty but none of his shots do” :lol:

Arvydas Sabonis is the best passing big man I've ever seen.

People already think they will be a top 6 team in the NBA this year. I think that's asinine, but I don't think there's much room to be better than people think unless you think they are the 2nd best team in the West and a top 3 team in the NBA.

You're overrating them. They have the look of a team that may get bounced first round of the playoffs this season.

Like OKC?

It’s possible. I doubt it though.

Your prognostications on OKC are horrifically bad and your analysis of Paul George as a player are terrible also. Another example of being wrong "every step of the way".

You also overrated Utah in all of this and now you are trying to do the ol reboot by hopping on the Denver bandwagon. Denver will fade in the 2nd half. Finish about 4th or 5th in the Conf.

No it’s not.

Not sure why you keep bumping this. OKC was projected to be the 6th or 7th best team this year and that’s where they are. You thought they would be better and I thought they would be worse. We were both wrong.

Either you are lying or ill informed. OKC is currently in 3rd place (1.5 back of 2nd). I keep bumping it because you said that 6th was a stretch. Don't try and redefine the argument. Proof is there that's why I bumped it.

No they won't. You were wrong about Utah also.

Utah struggled coming out of the gate but are picking it up just like they did last year. We'll see what happens come April. Dismiss them at your own peril (like last year)

Come on dude. I was talking conf. There is no way to know top 6 with the Conf being separate. I had them top 3 in the West.

Even with you're still wrong.
