Wade's pretty damn good too

Does he still do the pronoun he/him thing? Cuz if so, that docks him multiple points tbh

How pissed is ATL they didn't take their hometown guy Castle #1 right now with how worthless Risacher has become?

Sunk cost fallacy on trae young meant ATL had a PG when Castle said don't draft me if you have a PG. The Hawks should've cleared out the position sooner imho

He was never an option for them, they were deciding between Risacher and Sheppard after Sarr refused to work out for them. Even then, he looks like the lesser of the 3 thus far.

KAT would foul out in summer league tbh

Legit don't mind losing 1-4 to OKC if we put this Denver team in its place. They had no business beating us 3 times in regular season..Every metrics suggest we are the overall better team.

The rare times the Nuggets have been mostly healthy, they probably have comparable metrics, match up best with the Spurs and will have the urgency factor at play.

Series will give off '24 Thunder-Mavericks vibes.

LOL getting bullied by Sarr

They should've just drafted him anyway. Told him training camp starts in October.

There's a reason you're not getting minutes, Risacher

 

[Kick-Stand]

Jesus, is Risacher 2020's Tskitishvili? @spurraider21 rolling in his grave.

 

[heyheymymy]

Risacher is BAD out there. Head on a swivel like he still has no idea what's going on. Not a natural player rn.

 

[Mugen]

A Gabe Vincent/Risacher/Kuminga lineup probably ain’t it, Quinn.

 

[Weeks]

brunson with 19 pts in the first quarter

I know that's my hunch too but I'm just getting annoyed by how much overrated Denver have become by the usual suspects..The Prime crew, Simmons, and Lowe's tiresome " they're juggernaut hiding in plain sight!" etc..Why are they being suddenly elevated to a all-time great team status? Zero dominant 60-wins seasons (never won more than 57 games), and only 2 series wins vs 50-win teams in 7 playoffs runs..Why are they so much at ease daring to pick them against an actual all-time dominant team like the Thunder (by srs)? Iike i said above, it almost makes me more eager to end this nonsense talk than worrying about getting dispatched by the Thunder in WCF

 

[Fabbs]

Pussy shit by the refs

Jamaal Murray 16 FTAs?
WTF.

MN outshot Nuggets both in regular fgs and treys.

 

[heyheymymy]

Robinson erasing shit left and right lol

For all the obvious reasons, the nerdy media contingent in particular is filled with Jokic fan boys who want them to win so they can make outlandish historical statements about him.

Might sound hypocritical to both agree with you and think the stars are aligning for them to play a near coinflip de facto championship WCF with the Thunder, but that's where I'm at.

His daughter is trans, I believe. Why would that bother you?

smh this game is gonna be tough to watch

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

So us being without our best players means nothing, they played Jokic

We only sat wemby, we were favoured to win the finale by 11, come on man. And just 15 minutes of Jokic. Was a dumb very avoidable loss that gave us a much much harder path to WCF. But now just need to hope Denver is physically worn down heading into round 2 as ant is very injured

 

[bozhemoi]

A fifty year-old LeBron James vs. Alperen Sengun. Only on national broadcast!

 

[BatManu20]

KD will be back for Game 2 imo. Think they're just being cautious with both Luka and Reaves out.

 

[Weeks]

man imagine it's your first #1 draft pick since 1975 ( a pick who didn't even play for your team) ..and you end up with risacher

sure was smart of Ime to play Durant 38 minutes a game the last 7.
