2023 NBA Playoffs

Cheering for Denver and Miami at this point.

Yeah it’s pretty slim picking. Jokic is the only white player left producing. Strus seems to have lost all confidence or is content with Lowry jacking up crappy shots that he should be taking. Much like Huerter in Sacramento with fox.

Yea I noticed that too. Seems like once the playoffs come, all the non-superstar White players are phased out. The blacks really want the limelight and become massive ballhogs. Another reason to tune out the NBA at this point.

Yeah no doubt in Miami it's the Jimmy Butler Show. He is alot older now and Butler will turn 34 this September. So I see this or next
year to probably be his last year on the Heat. He has 1 year left on his contract.. With all of the young guys on the Heat I can
see them moving on from Butler and letting him go soon. Father Time catches everyone eventually and it will catch him too.

It's a shame Tyler Herro broke his hand. Hoping if they make the NBA Eastern Conference Finals he can return. Max Strus does need
to shoot more. Even Kevin Love who is also starting seems to be taking more shots than Strus although neither have done much.

Denver needs to win tonight at home. Go up 2-0 and then try to win 1 of the next 2 games in Phoenix. Jokic is playing for NBA History
as he still has a chance to become only the 3rd player in NBA History to win 3 Straight MVP Awards. Other than Championships he is
entering Brady Territory as far as his legacy. Incredible basketball player!

Christian Braun is the fastest and most athletic player on the court on either team. He doesn't play much but had 4 steals in very little
playing time in game 1. The kid can become a star if Denver ever decides to take off the handcuffs and chains as only Denver is holding him back!

 

[Bucky]

Looking forward to a break out performance from Braun at some point in these playoffs! Sky is the limit for him.

Yes I agree brother but he played only 14 minutes in game 1 and he might not even get that many minutes tonight. The crazy thing is
that the coach's, scouts, media and even fans are scratching their head why he rides the bench so much? I think we know why. Maybe
a few guys will get in foul trouble or with a injury they are forced to play him. The kid can do it all. He almost had a chase down block
on Kevin Durant on a fast break in game 1 where he came out of no where and took off like a plane. It suprised the 6'11 Durant who
thought he had an easy uncontested layup.

 

[Bucky]

4 steals in 14 minutes is absurdly good. He keeps hustling like that, one would think there’s no way you can keep him off the hardwood.

 

[jimmyjerapolo]

Braun tasked with guarding Durant. Just started watching but he's locked him down so far. Also grabbed a bucket in 4 minutes off the bench. Hopefully they give him a legit shot going forward, the Nuggets have gotten almost nothing out of their bench so far and need that to change if they want to make a real run.

 

[white lightning]

Something strange I noticed. Mcclung has been given 0 in the NBA G League and in the NBA by different teams. Now by
coincidence Christian Braun also wears the number 0 on his nuggest uniform. Another way to mock the crackers. They
love to do that! Even in college for a number very fer people ever wear. Yeah they hate white guys!

 

[white lightning]

The Denver Nuggets take a 2-0 lead over the Phoenix Suns in the 2nd round of the NBA Playoffs!
So tell me who the real MVP is? Jokic should win it hands down in a fair world. It's not even close.
Embiid didnt even play tonight and the Sixers still won. Without Jokic the Nuggets are horrible.

Kevin Love is certainly past his prime. At least, I assume so because his hair is now salt-n-pepper. With Miami, he's polishing off a borderline hall-of-fame career. He's been a prolific scorer and rebounder over the years, and every so often he still has a mega-game where he carries his team to an undeserved victory.

I looked him up just to make this post and was pretty shocked to see that he's only actually 6'8. I've had this image of him as a "typical white center" who gets by on his length advantage as a 7-footer. Love is the most intuitive, undersized big man since Charles Barkley - although he may be better overall.

It's an aptitude plus attitude. I don't watch tons of NBA highlights, so it's possible that I miss out on some good black players' plays. That being said, the highlight reels of Jokic passes and Love touchdown-passes suggest to me that the big white bodies who are able to play in the NBA have developed a different higher-level of skills (when their mere athleticism won't be taken seriously). Love throws these touchdown passes A LOT. The real question I have is: why don't the black players do this?

How many free points has Kevin Love given his teams by being "smart?"

Great News. Nikola Jokic will be playing in Game 5 in Utah. Let's Go Jazz!

Jokic won't be suspended for Suns owner push

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic will not be suspended but has been fined $25,000 for making contact with Suns owner Mat Ishbia during Sunday night's game.

Let's compare the 2 top finalists for the 2023 NBA MVP Award which Joel Embiid won despite having way worse numbers all
season long than Jokic. Well even in this years playoffs in 2 rounds so far the story is still the same. Jokic is the Real MVP!

NBA Playoff Averages of the top 2 Finishers so far:

Nikola Jokic 32 points , 13.1 rebounds and 9.2 assists

Joel Embiid 23.2 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists

 

[Warhawk_46]

The only reason Jokic didn’t win his third in row is because of the pathetic black fragility as evidenced by Perkins (If I recall) labeling it racist to vote for Jokic.

Great stuff Phall! Love would’ve made one hell of a quarterback.

Kelvin Love learned to throw the outlet pass from Wes Unseld, who was his father's teammate with the Bullets. His uncle is Mike Love one of the co-founders of the Beach Boys.

That pretty cool!! Unsfeld was a good man, didn’t he have a team that fielded 3 white starters in the 90’s with the bullet’s? I know Tom Gugliotta was one of them.

 

[SneakyQuick]

Tom gugliotta and Chris corchiani were a great combo back in their mc state days. Couple of paesano’s to root for!

Cool video. Terrible music but cool video. Thank you!

NIkola Jokic set an All Time NBA PLayoffs Record tonight for the most triple doubles in a playoffs by a Center and we are only in
the second round of the playoffs! So again I ask will the Real NBA MVP please stand up? Take a bow Nikola Jokic! Absolute Legend!

I could be wrong but I think the Bullets had at least 5 or 6 whites on their team in the early 90s. Rex Chapman, Corchiani, Gugliotta, Brent Price, and the underrated Don Maclean. There could have been a couple more but I can't locate them.

 

[Bucky]

Good win for Jokic. Blew out the Suns to go up 3-2!

Crazy to think our Nations cesspool, er Capital had that many gym rats, not all that long ago.

The Miami Heat play Game 5 against the New York Knicks tonight. If they win they clinch the series and move on the the final round
of the playoffs. They would be only the 2nd 8 seeded team to ever do so. Let's Go Heat!

Heat culture is real, and here are the stats that prove it

Miami's vaunted culture shows up in a measurable way on the court, and it's helping the Heat overcome long odds as an 8-seed.

Lauri Markkannen (sp?) snubbed for All NBA. Much lesser qualified black forwards made it over him. Embid beats Jokic out for 1st Team All NBA.

Doncic with his 4th straight first team. LeBron James makes 3rd Team when he had no business doing so.
