Are the Cavs better without Donovan Mitchell? /s

[–] DefiniteSauce12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I hate the nuggets commentators. They see no faults in Jokic. He played awful today defensively. And this is coming from a Jokic fan

[–] fattymcbutterpants01@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Cavs aka the Porter Jr factory

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Denver are so bad on the road sometimes

Can't even say it's all because of Murray out because they were 19-22 on the road last season as well

Somehow the terrible 2022 Denver team did better and had a winning record away which I have no clue about lol

[–] Jordanwolf98@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I enjoy watching the Cavs more when Garland gets to be the lead ball handler. Reminds me of how much fun they were in 2021-22

[–] MrAppleSpoink@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nuggets commentators will watch Jokic stand in the paint and watch guys hit floater after floater after floater over him and blame it on the guy in the weakside corner.

[–] CaptainNoth@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jokic is an amazing player, probably the best in the league. But someone should tell Nuggets fans that winning MVP doesn’t give you a free pass to elbow people in the face.

[–] Hold_my_Dirk@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

LEAGUE AINT READY FOR THE CRAIG PORTER JR TAKEOVER

[–] darylmoreyisking@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

“Jokic were down a million please score”

“Yayyy I’m so efficient!”

[–] rompskee@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Cavs have the superior Porter Jr

[–] tapk69@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Porter Jr > Porter Jr

[–] ImTheBestNerd@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lets go Cavs! Great Win

[–] PurpleYessir@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I did not enjoy this game, but the Cavs looked pretty good. Also didn't know Tristan Thompson was still in the league and on the Cavs. Yall hiding Anderson varejao back there too?

[–] Surflover12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I mean you guys are missing your best player so no wonder your doing so bad lol

[–] Terminus_Rex@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They actually are hiding Varejao back there. He works for their front office.

[–] AbbreviationsHot4482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Giannis led his team to a top 2 seed last year without his 2nd best player and Chokic completely folding without Murray for a few weeks lmao

[–] Toxikara@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You should have watched Jokic's 2 MVP seasons to see a true carry job.

[–] AbbreviationsHot4482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Neither of his MVP years were carry jobs lol

[–] LFizzle12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

All of Ty Jerome's minutes should be allocated to Craig Porter Jr.

[–] TheNaskgul@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jamal, baby, please come back. We need you so bad 😢

[–] Poverty_Shoes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Are the Nuggets good without Jamal Murray? This has been an embarrassing stretch of mediocrity.

[–] Fr0_oz3n@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nuggets need their point guard.

[–] Knightbear49@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The league isn’t ready for the Wolves to live atop the West for this long

[–] Lizzy_35@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nuggets won't be that good team this year. Gave out jeff green and bruce brown who were the backbone as replacements. Reggie is good but BB was better

[–] ja21121@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

My main takeaway from this game is Reggie Jackson is absolutely cooked. That man is a cone on defense. You could tell the gameplan was whoever Reggie got, attack.
