Apparently the sky is falling for the Lakers (0.607 win pct) but the Nuggets (0.613 win pct) are a top tier championship contender, even though they are 5-8 since Jokic returned and 1-7 against playoff teams. Both teams have had a lot of injuries and a similar amount of missed games due to injuries. The inconsistency in hot takes is hilarious.

spurs will beat ofc in a 7-game series. They are the only team that match them every single game, but OKC still remains the best team.

He’s a real schmuck and schmo. This year they’ll be no chip for the purple and gold. Next year he’s unsure where he will go. Nowhere man please listen. Stop shooting 3’s you keep missing. The NBA is no longer at your command.
