NBA thread

Heat won to tie it up 1-1. Was only fringe watching bc of the baseball game but evidently something turned quick to start the 4th quarter. Might get interesting if Herro can come back healthy.

I had no idea Austin Reaves is a white guy

I have only vaguely heard of him as one that got away from the Hogs or something

Nuggets close it out! Helluva team and a helluva season!

That was the most underwhelming NBA playoffs in recent memory. Always nice to see someone outside of the sacred cows of the NBA winning a chip.

Yeah...congrats man. I didn't really have a dog in the fight but thought it coulda been a lot more interesting with Herro healthy.

In general, looks like it's going to be one of the more interesting off-seasons in recent NBA memory.

I've now been here for a Super Bowl win downtown, a Stanley cup win and now an nba win. Last night the bar downtown was nuts then after fireworks everywhere, people hanging out of their cars and screaming. And because we can't have nice things without some shit...9 people got shot downtown

There's no excitment about a non-flashy, unselfish team winning the Conf Finals and NBA Finals 8 games to 1, but the dominance is pretty amazing.

I'd go as far as to say they had about the worst shooting night they could have last night and still won comfortably.

Jokic is the most boring star in NBA history, but he was the best NBA player 3 years in a row.

Jokic is one of the best players of all time and he doesn't look all that impressive doing it.  He simply makes all his teammates better and scores however much he needs to score for them to win.  It has been a while since a team won it all being so reliant on one player in so many aspects of each possession.  EVERY possession goes through him, either with an assist, scoring or drawing so many people that it opens up someone else.  Dude just makes very difficult things look pedestrian so it is easy to mistake looking easy for BEING easy.  If others could do what he does, they would.  They can't.

Do you mean boring as in his game is not exciting or boring as in he isn't waving guns around on IG like Ja? I find a center making passes like Magic and knocking down the occasional crazy trick shot to be pretty damn entertaining.

this...I think the way he and Jamal work together is amazing and he is just a hell of a player. He's got a different style and his passing game is amazing. He's def not boring

Boring is a compliment.

He makes everything look effortless and easy.  Lulls you to sleep.

Guy looks like he's just ballin out in the YMCA gym but he's doing it effortlessly against NBA dudes. Miami had no answer for him at all. Kevin Love looked like a toddler trying to defend him.

That being said...fuck the Nuggets. Fuck anything Denver.

The most boring superstar to ever watch play has to be Shaq in his prime. Watching him dunk over and over again on guys he outweighed by 70lbs wasn't fun.

Watching him barrel over people and just bully everybody around and never get called for a charge or player control foul sucked ass. Same with Barkley.

Watching David Robinson be crafty with him to blunt his power was amazing to watch though.

Olajuwon got some too. Shaq was his bitch in '95 finals.
