The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[nick.]

Water is also wet

As long as these 'punishments' are weak and not every team gets investigated, it'll continue to happen.

I don't keep an eye on jokic wardrobe, but I thought he was an affliction tee and jeans type of guy. Throw on a von dutch trucker to top it off.

Guess he is always suited and booted.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

At least we know Jokic will look sharp after a 1st, maybe 2nd round elimination

 

[don ramon]

slap on the wrist. a few select teams with (a) certain player(s) never even get that
this isn't changing anything

Seriously tho.

It’s time for Joker to take that next Playoff step.

At the very least WCF.

 

[lovehateself]

one less kid realizing his dreams of getting drafted in 2025

y'all talking about Jokic like he's Embiid

 

[pmatic]

Lol at taking away a measly second rounder.

 

[Based Jesus]

Jalen Brunson or a 2025 2nd-rounder.....that's a tough one....

As long as the team is healthy, unlike last year, that should be the expectation.

He himself was 31/13/6 on 58% from the field in the playoffs last year. Can't fault him for losing to the eventual champs when the team is missing it's 2nd and 3rd options.

Absolutely. I’m not faulting him. He has done all he could.

But this year is definitely the year to make a deep playoff run.

Which I truly think they can.

Why YALL gotta bring Jo into this

However I do wanna see him make it to the playoffs without some stupid injury or ailment

lmk when jokic plays thru a Torn Ligament in his right thumb & a Orbital Fracture w/ a mild concussion this was the 22 playoffs


A couple of days later, the 76ers announced that Embiid had suffered a small lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, which was to be managed with a physical therapy and treatment program. In 2021 he returned in the second round and played all seven games, avg 30.4 points, 12.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists on 46.9 percent shooting from the field.

Joker was probably referring to SGA and Booker. Some of the most ridiculous tunnel pics I’ve seen.

That's cool and all, but he's had one playoff series in his career where he's shot over 50%. Criticism is VERY warranted.

EDIT- Read wrong thing. He's had a couple. Still not good enough. Not the dominant force he is in the regular season.
