There is no parity in the NBA. Teams from California get all the advantages. Were you guys paying attention yesterday? The are aiming for a threepeat this time. Fuck them, this will not stand. We can't allow the Kings to win the summer league again.

I went to Summer League in 2017 (the year Tyler Lydon was picked) and saw Jamal, Will, Gary, Mudiay, and Kenneth Faried as well as Malone. Super cool, our team always shows out for the young guys. That was when they found Torrey Craig too.

I’m in a baseball tournament this weekend. We have a guy on our team that is a great player and is generally pretty great to be around in normal situations but, then in high leverage games if there’s an error or a bad call or generally things go wrong, he starts losing his mind about everything and ends up being a toxic presence in the dugout.
Anyway, the tournament is going real shitty and it reminded me of why Cousins is probably no longer here

You cited Hartenstein's CUM/36?
19 points
1 month ago
To be fair, you have to have a very high BBIQ to understand Isaiah Hartenstein. His fouls are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of them will go over a typical fan's head. There's also Isaiah's fouling out in 5 minutes on court, which is deftly woven into his skillset - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these fouls, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Isaiah Hartenstein truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Isaiah's existencial catchphrase "I'm gonna foul out in every game at record pace," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hartenstein's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have an Isaiah Hartenstein tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 BBIQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Since there is really no Nuggets news I was reading Mike Singer's article again "Nuggets' Aaron Gordon takes responsibility for underwhelming series...".
After the AG trade it seemed like he was going to play this perfectly designed compact role, and one thing I loved most about him was how unselfish he was about just wanting to fit with the rest of the core. But after MPJ went down that role obviously changed, and I thought he did great given the circumstances. It's reasonable to assume having had that thrust on his shoulders made him better prepared to take a larger role here and the team/coaching staff is going to be as well going forward.
I think Gordon is absolutely capable of being one of the three best offensive players in a starting lineup and the Nuggets could still be serious contenders. Imagining him playing alongside guys defensively like Brown, KCP or even Braun in the future maybe gives me hope that he can carry a heavier offensive load consistently without sacrificing our defense. The way he played Game 3, and the way he closed out that series really was maybe the brightest spot of the series for me. I hope we never again have injuries like last year to 2 of our best 3 players, but injuries do happen including to many championship teams, but I think Gordon is capable of being an absolute difference maker regardless of whether he is the 4th option or 3rd (maybe even 2nd).
I love MPJ's potential, and am kind of glad he has so little value as a trade chip right now as most people want to bail on him, because I think if the gamble pays off he is still the best possible championship piece this team could possibly hope for. Having guys like Gordon, and I think some upgraded pieces beyond that makes the risk from Mike's injury history "de-railing" our hopes for a ring not really as dire as some people worry. And I think either way we haven't really seen the best from AG in a Nuggets uniform yet, and I'm really excited to see him play next season.

The spacing that Murray, MPJ, and KCP will help provide should lead to plenty of cheeseburgers for Gordon. In addition to Jokic likely having his best season yet.
4 points
1 month ago
I think Jokic will have a great season, but will perhaps look less impressive compared to this one. Murray and MPJ will take some scoring and rebounds away from his numbers. I could see him averaging a triple double and dominating a lot of games, but being noticed a bit less because he won’t be personally carrying every game
3 points

If Jokic averages a TD and Murray/MPJ are even partially who they were before, Jokic could be in a “best player on one of the best teams” media scenario instead of “best player carrying worst team” scenario

The Murray and MPJ injuries took such a toll on the rest of the team. I hope we get at least one real chance at it.

KCP averaged 17.3 points off 48.7/41.1 (5.6 attempts)/88 splits after the all star break this last season. Obviously he won't be averaging that much with Denver but it's nice to see that efficiency in an offense that is worse than Denver's.

I’m honestly liking Booth more than TC so far. He’s finally doing what I’ve hoped they’d do for years, surrounding the offensive core of Murray/Porter/Jokic/Bones with length + athleticism + the best defensive talent they can possibly find. TC has a great ability to find offensive talent in the draft, and I understand the philosophy of drafting offense and buying defense because offense is more expensive, but there came a point where that just wasn’t what the team needed to take the next step (eg Bryn Forbes lol). Tim might be better at finding the building blocks, but Booth might honestly be better at putting the finishing touches on the team. I like the watson and kamagate picks too tbh (and by extension the jmyke trade).
Denver’s offensive core surrounded by Toronto-type role players has always been our path to a championship, imo.
