    At least it's debatable between him and Giannis and the best player in the league is always the most valuable. Best means he is the best player at giving his team the best chance to win, if that doesn't also define value in a season, I don't know what does.

    Giannis is great and definitely 2nd best in the league this year. LeBron is just so multi-talented. He's the best passer in the league and is a better outside shooter than Giannis. And he's a much better leader.

    No way anyone can convince me that either Dame/Nurk or Dame/CJ is better than Jokic/Murray

    Malone could feel the game slipping away and made a desperate move.

    Which makes our win over them last year, with no Nurk and Dame playing subpar, even more impressive.

    Getting kind of tired watching LeBron just blatantly bull doze his way through players dropping his shoulder and still getting the call.
    Refs need to take that away from him. It’s not basketball and it’s a foul every time anyone else does it.

    Absolutely, winning two games at Denver was extremely good. CJ, Kanter, Hood, Seth and Zach stepped up in that series. Turner was ballin in game 7 as well

    32 in first half... compared to 16 for Denver. Can the refs and Silver be any more blatant?

    Fuck the nba man, it’s unwatchable bullshit. Since game 4 of the Blazers series I haven’t watched a full game, it’s a horrible product.

    Are you actually watching the game because a lot of these are just dumb fouls by the Nuggets

    They're still fouling and the refs have just stopped calling them.
