NBA Season - now 24/25

Joker and Murray looked to be doing pretty comfortable. The efficiency was there. Thought the Heat didn’t play too bad other than the poor shooting.
Highsmith or Love might need to start to add a bit of size because it was mouse in the house stuff for a while.

Vogel's goal for Suns: 'Take the league by storm'
New Suns coach Frank Vogel says the team has the foundation in place to win a title and that they "need a lot of luck and ... some breaks along the way."
I think this is a good hire. He did a good job in LA and was fired for the sins of the GM IMHO. He will try to toughen the Suns up

Phoenix are parting ways with injury prone Chris Paul

The Nuggets are crowned NBA champions after a torrid game 5 where MIA did everything they could to win the game. Jokic ever classy, lines up and shakes hands with the whole Heat squad. Congrats to them. The rookie Braun wins a chip one year after winning the NCAA basketball championship with Kansas. How can you ever top that?

Saw someone say that the Joker is the first in history to lead in points, rebounds, and assists during the finals. That's fucking mad.
But he didn't win regular season MVP.... 😉. The guy is a throwback

I'm assuming he was finals MVP, I know which I'd prefer

Yep Jokic was Finals MVP.
A very likeable bunch the Nuggets - good stuff.
Pretty awesome for Nuggets fans who have been waiting nearly half a century for this
Happy ending for Murray, who feared he would be traded when he was injured in the bubble. And Aaron Gordon can be known for balling out to help win a finals series instead of that slam dunk contest

2015 NBA Finals - Cavaliers vs. Warriors | Basketball-Reference.com
Summary and statistics for the 2015 NBA Finals - Cavaliers vs. Warriors
LeBron averaged 35.8 points (Steph next with 26), 13.3 rebounds (Tristan Thompson next with 13), and 8.8 assists (Steph next with 6.3)
And yes @mariner4life , I know his team lost in 6, no need to point it out to me
Complete travesty that Iggy got Finals MVP - fine to only select from the winning team if that's the deal, but anyone who thinks Iggy was more valuable than Steph in that series doesn't know anything about basketball.
Edit - LeBron repeated the feat and led all 3 categories the next year too, winning in 7 games (thanks largely to Steph's poor series and the Draymond nut-kick)

Was awesome seeing the likes of Peyton Manning, Alex English and other Denver faithful so happy.
Joker’s influence on each game was very clear, even the one they dropped. Easy decision.
The stars and support players played better than their Heat counterparts. Shame Herro wasn’t playing because he would’ve made a big difference. A guy that can create his own shot, shoot the 3 and a reliable ball carrier. They effectively had to play a combination of guys to try and get what Herro had been delivering this season. Still think Denver would’ve won it, but it may have been a closer and deeper series.
Butler looked cooked at the end and that turnover pass and ill advised 3 when down by 3 and still 24+ seconds left. His team mates had set up the play too for him and cleared the right side of the floor for him to go 1-on-1.
Very happy for the Nuggets.

Perhaps this is what they were referencing:
That’s stoooopid !!!
I mean, it’s a great achievement, but you shouldn’t be penalised for sweeping someone…

Speaking of stats, there have been 5 different NBA champions in the last 5 years, and 4 first-time winners in the last 13 seasons.
Maybe signs that the draft system is working? Also there is so much money to be made outside of basketball contracts, the players don't necessarily feel the need to stay in big markets like they used to

'Man, we champs!': Why Denver's NBA title means more for these four vets
Jeff Green, DeAndre Jordan, Reggie Jackson and Ish Smith are the epitome of wise NBA journeymen. And all four of them were able to savor the championship moment for the first time.
