Wednesday is a holiday for Buddha's birthday over here in Korea so I hosted some friends to watch the games today, one of which is a Nuggets fan from Denver. I don't really care who wins this series but I was vicariously rooting for the Nuggets through him and it made me realize Jokic is both the player I love and hate the most. I love him because he's amazing when he's on your side and hate him because he's not.

Feeling some type of way about how NBA 20-somethings harmlessly celebrate their success is corny.

The Wolves are completely cooked without Mike Conley. I'm not at all surprised by the result of Game 5.
That's not to say the Wolves would've won if Conley played, they just had essentially no chance of winning without him.

You can only make this argument if you're going to vouch for the hundreds of second round picks who never did a thing in the league.

Obviously impossible to happen for so many reasons but Conley would be just about the perfect guard off the bench for us- he would close a lot of games, steady us when we need it, get great shots for the rest of the team when he’s on court and step up as a starter when one of our big 3 was injured.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 1:33 amThe Wolves are completely cooked without Mike Conley.

I was more thinking our first round pick this year when I wrote that, but fair point. I guess my big picture point is that you need to take some of those long shots and if one happens to hit it changes everything. I’m not against trading picks but I don’t like trading picks being the default.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 1:39 amHold on now.Gladiator wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 1:38 amBut let’s just throw away all our draft picks because you can never get anyone who helps your team anyway….Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 1:28 amWednesday is a holiday for Buddha's birthday over here in Korea so I hosted some friends to watch the games today, one of which is a Nuggets fan from Denver.

There are only a few Point Guards that I believe could be successful in a starting lineup with Booker and Beal, and Conley is one of them. Of course their collective defense would be an issue, but Conley could offset that with offense in a way I wouldn't trust with most other Point Guards.

You worrying about how I feel about corny shit is corny. I may be the only one here that thinks it, but I'm not the only person that thinks this. I never said they couldn't do it, but I'm not going to change my mind that it's corny af.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 1:32 amFeeling some type of way about how NBA 20-somethings harmlessly celebrate their success is corny.

Folks were digging a hole to bury the Nugs after going down 0-2, but now they're in total command of their series. Really impressive comeback for them, showing a lot of poise and not giving up. Jokic is so awesome. When he's got it going he is almost unstoppable. I love watching him because he's such a great passer. Almost every game he'll have at least one pass that makes you go, "How the hell did he find that angle?" I love the way he hurls the ball at weird angles and spins with his big bear paws. Anyway, looks like DEN is in the driver's seat; I think they look better than OKC or DAL right now, but it would be an interesting WCF either way.

I didn't cash it out so the extra $2 would have covered the sales tax.

Wish we could get him back

Yep, another good player we let through our grasp. What was up with Melton this year? He still playing well?

He got hurt and didn’t really play the 2nd half of the season. Payne took his minutes in Philly

He was with the Suns 6 years ago and only recently started to both play well consistently and avoid injury. Of course he'd be better than a lot of the Suns role players, but it's not as if they dumped him last summer or something. He was on 3 other teams after the Suns before finally landing in Dallas.
