Plays with true toughness and thrives in big moments. NFL mentality. UFC mentality, really. Plus, you have to empathize with his life story. I’ll be rooting for the Heat, even tho I also love Jokic. K-Love in Miami makes me want them to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s because he’s the opposite of most nba players. Dude grew up homeless. He’s a straight up dawg too. After this he went on a run to finish Boston off.

Vocal leader, probably the first guy you call in a street fight, not the best at any one thing he does but you know he’s going to deliver. Not overly athletic or a great shooter but yet the dude gets it done all the time. He’s basically “poor man’s Jordan” with the mentality and clutch gene.

I’d understand the argument of SGA and Luka were just chucking shots because they played on bad teams. He had minimally worse stats than those 2 but he won.

candyman93 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 That Denver thin air is going to have Miami exhausted before the 4th quarter rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterCallSaul Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 It’s obvious how much better Denver is compared to every other team. They remind me of those Hawks teams 5-10 years ago when they were shooting the lights out & couldn’t miss. But this team had Jokic on it, making them literally impossible to defend. Your only hope is to also catch absolute fire, which Miami can’t. We need to retool the roster if we want to be a championship squad. I fear we will always be “solid,” not “great” with this core of guys. The wild card would be Mobley taking a massive leap forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind, Denver used to get absolutely destroyed in the playoffs until this year. Murray and Jokic played exactly how they do now. They’ve had Mike Malone since 2015. The biggest difference is that guys like Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr, and Bruce Brown have stepped up their games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We celebrate if one of our role players makes a 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you don’t have that mental discipline to perfect your craft, you’ll never get the job done. I know people meme joke about Kobe’s “will to win.” I think what sports media should have said is Kobe’s “dedication to his craft and discipline.” The guy was smart and knew the weaknesses in his game. You never questioned his desire to actually work and improve them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 If you’re Kyle Lowry, why in the hell would you signal what play you’re gonna run?!? I mean props to Jokic, but geesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
