After winning the Finals this year, the nuggets are pretty much bringing back the same team without Bruce brown but other teams like the bucks, Celtics and suns have improved. Imo I think the next 2-3 championships will be won by either the Bucks or Celtics and I think the Nuggets will make the finals again this year but the only way they might win again in the future is to either make a trade for a 3rd star or get much better depth.

    Gilbert arenas pointed it out?

    And I don’t see why kyrie can’t say it. Plenty of other players like grant Williams and claxton have commented on his dirty plays too. It’s not like this is a one-off event.

    it’s really common

    Yeah it’s common when the paint is crowded, not on a barely contested layup (jrue had like a hand up facing the wrong direction) and you shuffle your feet trying to get under the other guy. Looked like a paint version of the zaza injury to me.

    It’s especially funny because Giannis is a guy who has a history of trying to injure people when he’s losing.

    He did the “clothesline a player on a fast break” on Tatum when losing to Boston/halfway through the Phoenix series to dbook.

    He also tried to rip Clax and grant Williams arms off Kelly olynyk style.
