.Jokic is my favourite player in the league right now.

He's been my favorite player in the league for 3 or 4 years now. Unbelievable player. For 5 years he has been consistently top 3 best player in the world. At this pace he's building an argument to be considered top 5 all-time. Crazy.

He probably is the best offensive player of all time during these peak years

The Celtics started and gave big minutes to Payton Pritchard, Jordan Walsh and Neemias Queta, and they beat the Clippers with Harden scoring 37 pts.

They owe their pick to the hawks so they were never going to tank. I don't how Joe Dumars was able to get another job and immediately makes what could be an all time bad trade.

Dumars belongs in the same tier of decision-makers as Nico Harrison, Vlade Divac, and Ryan McDonough—the latter two famously passing on Luka Dončić in favor of Marvin Bagley and DeAndre Ayton. These are GMs who seemed convinced they were seeing something no one else could, dismissing the obvious while embracing mantras like “fortune favors the bold,” without acknowledging that fortune also rarely favors the stupid. Each of these choices was so questionable, so consequential, and so self-evidently wrong-headed that they should have been immediately fireable offenses on their own.

Nikola Jokic has absolutely no holes as he masters another area

Somehow, Nikola Jokic has gotten even better this season, as he seems to have mastered yet another area of his game.

Early MVP race comparisons, my own comparisons, that is. I haven't seen anything from like ESPN or NBA.com or anything as of yet.

Jokic starting to really pull away. Wow.

For me it would go:

1. Jokic
2. Luka
3. Wemby
4. Giannis
5. Shai

the eFG% and BPM are ****ing amazing. Like, almost unbelievable. If it was all the result of a simulation, I would be worried that the model was broken.

Drafting Morant, Zion, and Wemby on the same fantasy team was a mistake

Shai would be doing a lot better here if he could get to the line like Keyonte George. . .
