He was interesting past couple years but since Team USA dominance, saving us from
losses single handedly … Antman has quickly become my favorite player. Great kid, great competitor, entertaining game and personality. Tragic back story. Ultimate Leo. Performative with lights brightest and pressure at its highest. Such a competitor. He was guarding Jokic The way LeBron’s ***** ass should’ve took on the assignment in the previous round. But unlike LeBron, Anthony Edwards is courageous and has the heart of a lion.

Jamal Murray on Anthony Edwards: "It was less about [Edwards], it was more about my elbow at that point. Even some passes, my arm... it was more offensively for him. It wasn't him guarding me. He was scoring on the other end, and scoring at a great rate."

Toody is one game away from losing his conference finals virginity

[plowking]

Not looking good for the "offensive GOAT" if he can't even muster up 80

Its incredible how much of a sensitive idiot you are.

What difference does that make? He’s averaging 27/7/7, right? He’s starting right? He’s still on the floor, right? No, no excuses. If winning required shutting down Nikola Jokić, LeBron has a much more suitable body both in size and weight to handle him then 6 foot 4 Anthony Edwards.

LeBron wouldn’t need to waste energy with his superficial hollow offensive number stat padding, and he could use that energy to actually do something meaningful for actual winning. Like I don’t know kind of actually being legendary and take it upon himself to take Joker out of the series as much as he can. Austin Reeves and D’Angelo Russell and definitely Anthony Davis to do the bulk of the offensive fire power. Thus allowing them to grow even more.

But … His basketball IQ is overrated … His leadership is dog shit … He is selfish … And unlike Anthony Edwards, is a competitive coward. You would already know all of this if you watched him and his entire career.

These young upstarts pushing the champs to the limit...no dog in this fight, Denver SHOULD take GM 7 but you never know...go TWolves

Oh and I love this Ant kid, MJ vibes all the way, get er done, youngsta

I cant even make a pick here. I think it is a tossup.

That's from page 1. Here we are 6 games later and I still don't know who to pick. In theory Denver should have the advantage but I am not confident about that.

Last game Minnesota doubled Jokic aggressively forcing the other guys to beat them. They have the length and athleticism to rotate quickly and contest shots that are normally open.

I suspect that Minnesota won't let Jokic beat them in game 7. I bet they force the other guys to make shots again and take their chances.
