And they have no current way of getting him, so they'll have to hope and put faith that everyone around him can eventually elevate their game.

Yeah for example I think Ant will be better than SGA at his peak but the difference is SGA has his long term number 2 already on the roster in Chet who I believe will be a top 10-15 player in his prime

Coli casuals in here were ready to bury Joker after 2 games. Now Denver about to backdoor sweep these dudes.

3x MVP not going out like no hoe. :umad:

Yea, I had MIN winning this series and felt SGA should've been MVP... but i also found it hilarious that the coli chose Jokic of all people to have their next narrative war against.

We literally witnessed this slow, nonathletic fluffy-lookin euro pack up Gobert/KAT/Ayton/KD/Booker/Bron/AD/Jimmy/Bam last year. Handing out 30pt triple dubs like Oprah does cars. He's an all-timer and we know what he's capable of.

I'm more focused on Ant being the best player in this series through 4 games, after whooping KD, Booker, and Beal the round before, at 22 years old.

Ant can't do much more or play any better. Proud of the kid. Someone else needs to step up though. The role players haven't made their shots while Aaron God Damn Gordon turning into the greatest player of all time is not expected nor needed :beli:

The game was winnable but Denvers shot making and ball movement was near perfect. Refs let the Wolves get away with a lot of physicality on Jokic and it mattered none. Overall it kind of feels like last year where even when the Wolves play well or have a stretch, Denver never panics and plays worse. To play well and still be down double digits every time you look up is demoralizing.

But mcDaniels, NAW and Naz, 2 of the 3 need to have a great game. Preferably McDaniels and NAW as they haven't really given much offensively.

I thought the opposite. I thought the refs were calling a tighter game which hurt Minny's defense.

Yeah the tighter the whistle the worse it is for the Wolves. Not a surprise that G2 was their best showing. After Malone ran up in Marc Davis' face and barked at him they allowed the Wolves to mug the Nuggets

shyt, I'll take it one further.

Look at the current NBA, now and in the future:
Jokic
Giannis
Wemby
Luka
Paolo

Additionally, all the 6'8 prospects at the next levels who got guard skills.

I got to ask, do you think a 6'4 guard can really be the best player on a Championship team considering how many big players can handle, pass and shoot now? Teams are running offenses through bigger players bringing the ball up now. That era is now officially here.

Ant either needs a true 1B or maybe even needs to move to 1B himself (ideally).
