I think home court largely still matters, but less to the elite teams. Partly because of the average roleplayer just being overall better and more disciplined than they were 10-15 years ago. You had the Nuggets bench shooting 6-9 from 3 on the road this game. Just overall able to be composed despite not being in their home building.Incredible win by the Nuggets.
Does home court mean anything in the NBA anymore? If not, can anyone explain why? Cs and Nugs losing home games and it hasn't seemed like it's mattered at all with the exception of the Cle-Orl series in the 1st round.
This series was over after game 3. Denver wins in 6
Got it, so Denver wins game 5
People are obviously playing it up for the thread, where washed and GOAT are the only 2 states of existence. But it's hard to tell if there are true believers amongst the memers, just manically shifting from one view to another every game - hell, every moment.i love how reactionary everyone is after each game.
lose game 1: absolute frauds, i knew they don't have it in them
lose game 2: this is a sweep, this is over, Jokic is just not at the level of a 3x MVP. Never give this man another trophy.
win game 3&4: it's over for the wolves, this is why the nuggets are champs!
Spurs Draft Lottery Thoughts
- Happy Spurs got the 4th & 8th pick.
- Hawks getting the 1st pick ain't to bad too now that they have to choose between shedding salary or paying the luxury tax which may or may not hurt our chances of that Hawks unprotected 2025 first landing in the top 5.
- Rooting for Topic & Risacher. If not, then maybe Stephon Castle & Cody Williams? Rather gamble for potiental 3&D wings than Rob or Sheppard if Point Center Wemby is the priority for next season.
- Rob Dillingham looks more like Bones Hyland than Darius Garland to me. Spurs would probably fix his bad habits but dude does a lot of forced step back 2s as a ballhandler plus the lack of any wrap around passes in his game is pretty concerning if we want him to be a PG next to Wemby. Not to mention how much of a defensive liability he's been that I think Spurs will easily skip on him.
- Unless teams want this 4th, 8th, 35th & the 48th pick, think the Spurs maintain flexibility for the Spurs & Hawks first RD picks in the better 2025 draft class than trade for any max salary like Trae, DJM, Mitchell, Lavine, etc this summer.
Brunson is at least missing like 4 key teammates.Brunson and ANT doing all the work. At some point there needs to be other performers if you wanna win it all.
No Randle has kind of been a blessing. MN needs the same realization with Goebert apparently.
Ah fuck, guess I'll keep the @dicktipsports and @smegmanews REPORTS to myself thenHey be careful posting this unsubstantiated stuff. Ballsack Sports is the only source we trust as credible around here.
I don't see the Nuggets losing unless the Wolves bench Gobert. Nuggets in 6
Dallas has a punchers chance against the Nuggets if PJ plays out of his mind. He's the X factor

Too many injuries it's looking bleak for us famDaaamn everyone was singing the nuggets are cooked and championship teams did championship things last night. I just pray my Knicks take game 5. What they did to my mother yesterday is not okay!
lol people were lamenting him being out in game two and saying Min had no chance without him.
Eh, people came into this series already concerned about Gobert because Jokic has a history of cooking him. And as we saw in Game 2, Gobert being out made the offense flow a lot faster.
I agree man we just keep getting destroyed with injuries. Just win game 5 and it's all up in the air. One thing this team will do is fight. They're gonna do everything they can tomorrow.
Kostas was my first thought. He was 5/3/1 in his one year playing, and then drafted probably for nepo reasons too.Would he be the worst collegiate player drafted in terms of statistics?
His line is not good with 5/2/3 37%
Kostas would cook Bronny lol.Kostas was my first thought. He was 5/3/1 in his one year playing, and then drafted probably for nepo reasons too.
Jokic has like the most non-Lebron commercials in the league right now. He's been getting pushed this whole year.Man, the league and its media partners really were hoping that Minnesota would win that game. They desperately don't want Jokic to be seen as the best player in the league.
sure but if Ant won a title at 22 they would push him haaaaaaaaaaard.Jokic has like the most non-Lebron commercials in the league right now. He's been getting pushed this whole year.
How dare you forget "fraudulent" as a third state of existencePeople are obviously playing it up for the thread, where washed and GOAT are the only 2 states of existence.
