NBA 2022-23 Season

Can he become a popular player outside Denver if he himself works on it I wonder. Likely doesn't have the right personality...

Because I was in Colorado, I was able to see some commercials featuring him. He comes across as easy going. He makes some local adds for ALTITUDE sports, the local Denver sports station, and he does not mind playing goofy. They make a lot of jokes about how big he is. I remember one in which he slumps on the sofa of a news anchor and then he can't get up because he is so big he gets stuck there.
I am not sure if he cannot become, at least, a good spokesperson for some regional company.

That kind of thing typically plays well. But he'd definitely need someone willing to do a national campaign to make a dent. Regional when it comes to Colorado is a joke, it truly means nothing for national attention.

@emarktaylor @sixers LOL deadly. Oh Harden. Here is a thing, and I somewhat admire this with him: he does not give a f*$k, takes his paycheck and shows up the next season and just keeps on playing. Hey, if a GM wants to pay him large and keep on counting on him to win in the playoffs, it's on the GM now.

I really wanted Philly to win because I needed a team to root for. I never root for Boston. I never root for LA. I don't know enough about the Nuggets to have an opinion. Sigh

Uhm, Dallas?

Amnesia is apparently among his many problems. Getting clowned for this more than anything else because he is someone who is not in a position to laugh at anyone.

[JazzNU]

Revisionist history and running way too much with this quote that wasn't even the real reason he wasn't kept. Ben Simmons was the real player who was chosen over him, not Tobias Harris.

Also, hilarious Tweet out of a Celtics fan of all people. Calling Doc a historic choker while he's the only one who brought you a championship in the last 30 years is rich.

Keeping the distances, Jimmy Butler is becoming very much like Robert Horry.
(And the distance is between Horry and Butler; Horry was never this good but was a very clutch player).

[Suliso]

Denver in a good spot now to reach their first ever NBA finals.

[ponchi101]

Teams that have gone up 2-0 in conference finals have a 56-6 record.
They are indeed in the driver's seat. Very good, especially in view that yesterday was a bit of a sloppy game. The Lakers were just sloppier.

Denver had 2 monster performances to get that lead

Game 1 : Jokic 34 pts 21 rebs 14 assts
Game 2 : Murray 23 point 4th quarter
