Yeah, I'm not one for criticizing the refs much but the last two games, I felt like LeBron got every call and non-call. He just lowered his shoulder and ran over Jamal Murray late -- no call.

Very good point - so much of the offense flows through him. To be super elite, they need Murray and Jokic being productive.I think the biggest thing that hurt the nuggets in that series/game was jokic getting into foul trouble early. Him picking up a quick two fouls in the first and a third in the second yesterday kept him out an extra ten or so minutes of that game (at least it felt like it). Last game him and millsap were both in foul trouble late too. I get people arguing that LA gets about the same amount of calls against them as the nuggets but there is a HUGE difference in Jokic being in foul trouble as opposed to Dwight Howard. LeBron and AD got away with fouls that were called on jokic the whole series.

They're SO young though - I hope they can continue to grow as a team.
I'd like to see him stay in Milwaukee to keep the Bucks competitive for the next 10 years. I wouldn't have minded seeing Korver get a ring this year but I imagine his window is closed. I hope Giannis is taking thousands of jump shots a week now.I’m a bucks fan but part of me wants to see Giannis go to the Nuggets. It would be a perfect fit.
Last ones of the year for Monte - "full play" highlights for his Game 5 vs. the Lakers (10 PT / 28 MIN / 7 AST):
You've been very kind before in saying this - thanks for the personal touch. I'm a hoops guy (just last night, I coached the local BB varsity guys in a Fall league and helped them blow a 9-point lead down the stretch ) and like to follow our guys. So copying-and-pasting a few things isn't too much heavy lifting.I-State thanks for doing the heavy lifting on this thread so the rest of us can pop in and keep up on our Cyclone alum going ons in the NBA.
Noooo
Damn, that's bad news. Just as he was getting established. I'm going to post this in the, um, NFL, thread, if you don't mind.
