I think the Nuggets might sit the starters for this one except KCP and/or MPJ. Lotta GTDs on the injury report

He's playing PF next to Cs clogging the paint and taking away some mismatch opportunities.

What mismatches do you think he's exploiting here? Slower centers? Or are you saying the paint being clogged means he can't take advantage of mismatches when he's playing forward against much smaller 4s and 3s?

I mean, they weren't going to give Morris a flagrant for his cheap shot on Jokic until Jok forced them to review the play with his revenge shove.

why there wasn't a foul called on the guy who leapt into Jokic

Because it's Nikola Jokic. He gets the worst whistle in the league.

Jokic just needs to flop and shout every time the ball leaves his hand like Embiid and the league is finished. NBA isn't ready for a 15 ft per game 40 ppg Nikola Jokic.

kroenkes gotta hold the nuggets out of their next national TV game. Jokic is gonna get seriously hurt if the refs don't start calling these fouls. Undercut and had a dude jump on his back and the ref just stands their drooling like a fucking troglodyte

Yeah, 'could player X hold up in the 90s' is definitely the most apt comparison

Sweet. I'd love to see the group matchups a league-wide random draw could produce next year!

Is the NBA open to tweaking the tournament format (group draws, schedule, prize/incentive structure) at all or is this the way the tournament is going to look for several years before any changes are considered?

Fuck refs, if you've got the challenge and they blow something this obvious you shove it in their face

[Highlight] Nuggets get into the bonus with 5:03 left in the first half and the Warriors aren't called for a foul again until the 7:30 mark of the 3rd quarter.

What if Giannis said fuck it I'm not leaving this courtside seat.
