2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

Yah glad he was able to extend his career and adjust to a new role

pelicans 1-10

nuggs next game is against the pacers. im ok with jokic being suspended then

nikola thug life

markieff should not have turned his back on that man

you can tell markieff is a professional cheap shot artist that foul was much worse than it looked

yeah this angle shows how dirty it was

Jokic had every right to respond the way he did. This angle shows it best…

Just got a text from Jokic’s brother. This is their real account responding to Marcus Morris’s tweet last night. https://t.co/ON4AH3JxwN

lmao jokic bros joint account

it owns how jokic is the best player in the nba now

it is pretty cool

wild how many good players come from the former yugoslavia, population ~20 million

tho they do have the advantage of being the tallest people in the world

lol that tweet is perfect

signing it jokic brothers, very cinematic

rjef is a dork but this is correct analysis

giannis is the best player in the NBA. i’m not sure this is really disputable outside of the criteria of “he already won two MVPs so we’re not gonna vote for him again.” game 6 of the finals was a mere four months ago

guys who are in the mix imo giannis jokic steph luka, subject to daily revision

round out the top five with kd

giannis is also the best player in the nba

that feels right to me lagoon. i’d put giannis a step above everyone until proven otherwise. embiid prob deserves to be in there, and playoff kawhi based on what we saw last year was easily a top 5 player in the league, they likely would’ve made the finals. but hard to judge him rn

kawhi is an enigma, embiid i just dont trust

if they put all the western conference players in a draft pool before this year’s playoffs and you got first pick who would you choose

purely in terms of production so far this season it's jokic and it's not close, though "best player" is def subject to other things like how hard a guy is trying, "pedigree", and so forth, would def put giannis and KD ahead of jokic as of right now though will mention jokic is a proven playoff performer and is starting to develop a real pedigree

assuming perfect health lebron, unfortunately perfect health lebron might not be a thing anymore so it's close between steph and jokic with luka a half tier below

dont think id take lebron anymore healthy or not

if we are considering health its def a plus in jokics column

for the purpose of this exercise assume all players are able to play but not necessarily at “full health” or whatever. like kawhi is ready to play but he is coming off a torn ACL with little training etc

i think i strike luka until he shows he can modulate his play and not lose steam by ends of games also he had that weird thing where he couldn’t make free throws

i might take steph honestly. kawhi would be tempting based on what we saw last year. jokic would be a tick below them for me. but it’s really hard to say

luka?

xpost

steph is historically a playoff under performer, luka has conditioning issues tends to fade at the end of big games, its jokic i think its jokic

kawhi im striking cause of the injury but i dont think id take him anyway

wow dallas is 7-3. haven't actually beaten anybody though

dramatic!

a 7 ft 280 guy running and throwing his entire body weight... had to hurt

ftr markieff is listed as a 6 ft 9 and 245 guy. he was running and throwing his entire body weight into jokic, while leading with his elbow to the ribs, which knocked 280 lb. jokic sideways a couple of feet. that had to hurt, too.

lukas not there yet i think its giannis, kd, steph, jokic, kawhi (healthy) then harden, bron, embiid then lillard, pg, luka, brow, jimmy

^ good list, but how does harden get that high up?

assuming hes going to get back in shape of course.

seth portnow had these "tiers" before this season started

1A: giannis, bron, durant
1B: harden, kawhi, jokic, curry
2A: AD, embiid, luka
2B: dame, butler, PG, gobert
2C: adebayo, cp3, tatum, middleton, kyrie

kawhi im striking cause of the injury but i dont think id take him anyway

more like seth port later

i’m taking luka over harden, AD, embiid, lebron & def above dame and PG, as much as i love same

lol
