What a dud this turned out to be after that first game was an absolute classic.

Is this a serious post. 2022 Ime Udoka Celtics were physical as hell lol, on the perimeter and in the paint

OKC is forcing 5 more tos a game then those celtics did and way more versatile defensively. They don't have to rely on drop coverage like the Celtics did for Al and Rob Will to be contributors. Chet when healthy can handle smaller perimeter players while OKCs forwards/guards can reliably switch on bigger players without giving up too much of an advantage (watching J Dub handle Kat in the post was wild, he's giving up 7 inches and 40 lbs in that matchup ).

That fake ass drop coverage was the biggest reason why Steph basically one man army'd their shyt in the Finals .

SGA started the game hyped and dog-walked CLE that first half

Basically saw it was a prime time nationally televised game and had the whole team war ready, despite no bigs

Based on what I’ve been seeing the media is setting it up that anything but OKC as the #1 seed they’ll vote Jokic MVP

Honestly, i think SGA is just naturally distancing himself as the front-runner at this point.

Jokic is still the PER/statistical monarch, but he's also high key starting to miss a buncha games whereas SGA may have missed maybe 1 at worst. So that (availability) + best record + scoring leader/being a stat monster himself... he'd be a front runner or right there in any season in league history with those credentials.
