    I haven't seem much of Jokic, but just based on tonight's game, Nurkic looked a lot better. Jokic didn't stand out to me at all.

    Can't really argue after a head to head matchup. Jokic had nothing for him.

    Jokic is a really good Dirk clone. Nurkic is a really good Sabonis clone.

    Maybe why Nurkic was starting over Jokic at the beginning of the season. Probably was beasting Jokic in practice too.

    If Denver had traded us Jokic instead, I don't think we make the playoffs.

    Totally off topic, and before I go off on a tangent, Nurkic is a BEAST! That stat line tonight was crazy!

    Okay, now for the OT, check this out!

    1 Russell Westbrook 2016-17 28 OKC NBA 30.4
    2 James Harden 2016-17 27 HOU NBA 27.9
    3 Kawhi Leonard 2016-17 25 SAS NBA 27.9
    4 Kevin Durant 2016-17 28 GSW NBA 27.7

    Now consider if OKC had managed to keep Westbrook, Harden, and Durant! Holy shit! I would repost @dviss1 's video all over again just thinking about if they could have made that work for them somehow.

    Stotts would have made it work with those three.

    Shit Brooks is a better coach than I gave him credit for too, he's been doing pretty darn good for himself in Washington this year. I am still in awe of those stats from those three though, I wonder how much OKC fans hate life when they think what could have been. Must be worse than the Roy, Oden, Rudy injury collapse we had to suffer through because that was all just conjecture of "what could have been". The OKC fans have to see two of their three literal super star players just tearing it up on other teams, ouch!

    Looking back on it now, I imagine there was just too much ego, and too much beard for one team to handle though with those three.

    Jameer has always owned Dame. He's just so physical and strong. Dame is great Against probably 26 starting point guards, but Nelson is his nemesis.

    Nelson would be the perfect backup for us btw. Connolly want to make another trade?

    I disagree.

    I don't care how many triple-doubles Westbrook compiles. He's still as selfish as they come and that is the reason why Durant didn't want to play with him.

    Fuck Seattle, The Thunder, and Clay Bennett's punk ass. I hope they lose every game forever.

    Fan is short for fanatic.

    Based on last nights game, Stotts is better than Malone.

    Jock itch is better offensively than Nurk.... Not even close. Nurk is better defensively.

    Overall, and knowing the forum I'll get killed for this, Jock itch is better than Nurk
