If they will rest Jokic versus Brooklyn bec of the back to back games on the road at Dallas....they better win this game and make sure They win in Dallas if Jokic will be back on that 2 crucial games. Denver has a change to take that 3rd seed
MPJ is playing good this season but I wouldn't say amazing. Why? A max player averaging 19ppg is nothing to be hyped about. For me it's Russ and Christian Braun because they're exceeding " expectations" based on their contracts. We have 2 guys starting with a 3 million a year contracts and that's amazing!
Would you rather have Bradley Beal? He’s a max player averaging “max player” numbers. No, you wouldn’t. Because he doesn’t fit. MPJ fits a soecifuc role on THIS team. Thats what he’s getting paid for
@@VVzxcI don't get your hype about cb. All he does is get baskets in transition. He also scores cause nobody is worried about him with all the other highly talented players
@ Christian Braun he's paid almost 3 times less than Zeke Naji. That's where the" hype" is. Imagine going to the pizza place and one slice of pizza is 2 dollars and it's really good , maybe not the best pizza you ever had but for two dollars it's awesome. I will use similar analogy for Jamal's case .. let's say you go to the steakhouse and you pay $70 for a great filet mignon steak but instead of steak, they bring you 10 piece chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A ... now I love chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A , They're pretty good but not at the cost of $70.
I would definitely let Jukic rest another day against the Nets. The guys should get it done in this one without him. I mean, it's kinda hard to lose to a team that wants to lose, but I guess in this season, the Nuggets can do it 😂😂😂
I hate the board or the commissioner of the NBA WHO EVER DECIDED TO CHANGE THE FORMAT WHEN JOKIC IS NUMBER ONE IN THE WEST AND THEN They changed the captain vs captain pick your players format😢😥
Lebron is not playing great basketball. If you think Lebron is playing great basketball you are either too casual or on the klutch payroll. Lebron is about the laziest defender in the league, load manages every game. His plus minus is -131 so far this season
Lakers 1 of 3 teams (with last place wizards and last place pelicans who have been decimated with injuries) who have 2 or less players with a positive BPM. They’re 3-15 all negative BPM! LeBron is playing with a horrid bench that’s why his +/- is bad. Also has had bad 3P% luck. Only 9 other players in NBA have more total Pts + assists + rebounds in 2024-25. Only 7 other guys > PPG + APG + RBG (minimum 25 games played) and everyone top12 clearly All⭐️. 13th in PER (minimum 25 games played and 25 mpg) 10th in VORP 15th in BPM 9th in OBPM I agree he hasn’t been GREAT by any means, but he’s been all star level. His last 12 games he’s AVERAGING 27.4 8.4 7.0 1.7 stocks 55/45/81 (64% TS%)
@@superdopehiphop it's always everybody else's fault and never Lebron's, his bench is not the reason why he's so far in the negative. Ranked 236th in defensive BPM and 116th in Defensive win shares (basketball reference), has only O.8 blocks and 0.5 steals a game and the eye test showing he routinely wanders aimlessly on the defensive end show he's a defensive liability and a strictly one way player. Lebron plays for offensive stats, he doesn't play winning basketball and is not able to raise his team's floor.
@ “always everyone else’s fault”. My God Bron hate truly a disease. He’s been blamed & hated on (+ compared) under a daily microscope for literally damn near everything on a daily basis on ESPN Fox Sports debate shows for the last 20-25 yrs!

LAST YEAR he was 84th percentile in DEFENSIVE EPM (Jokic, who I love and is why I’m here to begin with this yr is 63rd percentile in EPM…LeBron is 33rd percentile). Shocking he has to conserve energy on defensive end at 40 with more mins/milage than anyone EVER! What a bum!

@@superdopehiphop We all know you wear your lebron stanning on your sleeve. So blinded by your glaze that you can't actually watch basketball. You now use the other cliched Lebron stanning excuse of he's 38, oh he's 39, oh he's 40. Of course he should be playing 35+ mins, what kind of a statement is that?? He's still on a max contract for heaven sake so I don't care how old he is and how much of a glazer you are. He sucks and you glaze. You got personal with me first. You don't know basketball but sure know how to make excuses 💯 If defense and 35 mins is so tiring for age 40 Lebron how about he take a pay cut huh? He could always come off the bench. He could always help free up some cap space to boost his team. The Lakers have a .6666 record without Lebron this season, .5454 with. Reality shows Lebron is the problem. Keep @ing me with your misleading offensive stats and accusations of being a hater. Don't care man

We've played so badly this season during trap games 😬
