Deleterious Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 Jokic has now clinched a triple double for the season. The second time he has averaged that in his career. I think I read he will also be the first player to lead the league in rebounds per game and assists per game. Quote
buddha Posted April 2 Posted April 2 jokic, doncic, and wembanyama. are the three best players in the league europeans? Quote
Deleterious Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 We haven't had an American MVP winner since Harden in 2018. I don't see an American winning it in the immediate future either. If one does, it will probably be the result of the 65 game rule. Who are the American candidates? Cade, Ant, Brown, Tatum, Jalen Johnson? Great players but a step behind the four foreign players, probably. Maybe the way Europeans develop youth talent is better than our system. Ironically, Americans would have a fit if a 14 or 15-year-old turned pro like Luka did. But they are perfectly fine with a kid the same age being taken advantage of by AAU coaches and shoe companies. 1 Quote

But they'll give it to the free throw merchant again. 1 Quote

DTroppens Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Either are solid selections. I don't have a horse between either, but averaging a triple-double is hard to ignore. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 3 Author Posted April 3 Luka pulled his hamstring tonight. He was grabbing it in the second quarter and the Lakers kept him in down 30 at the half. Quote
Deleterious Posted April 3 Author Posted April 3 This is by far the biggest issue the league is facing. Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I believe the Pistons magic number is down to 1 to clinch the East, is it not? Quote

Deleterious Posted April 3 Author Posted April 3 Zion Williamson is 1 of 2 overall #1 picks between 1980-2023 to have never played in a playoff game. The second one is pretty easy. Quote
