A flashy criminal escapes a group of similarly-dressed men and brings crime and chaos to his new city. He and his nemesis form a complicated love/hate relationship. Just when all hope seems lost, the town's citizens reveal themselves to be unexpectedly big-hearted, foiling his master plan.

GAME THREAD: Denver Nuggets (44-25) @ Los Angeles Lakers (42-25) - (March 20, 2025)

Who is the MVP if Nuggets get the #2 seed?

The NBA Has a Referee Problem…

[Highlight] Nikola Jokic, knowing Dalton Knecht was woozy from his earlier fall, holds him up by his jersey in the heat of battle

Main character makes extreme choices in order to look better on camera, which sends them into medical jeopardy. Their kid spends the movie trying to score drugs, and one of their appendages gets disfigured. The film ends with our protagonist's thoughts wandering to fame...

Malone not mincing words on the MVP race "If you didn't know Nikola had won 3 MVPs, and I put Player A and Player B on paper... he wins 10 times out of 10. And if you don't think so, you guys are full of shit."

Jokic so humble

Jokic vs the 1st ranked D // SGA vs the 20th ranked D. Jokic comes out on top

Jokic vs the #1 defense (75% shooting)

Every single missed shot, or turnover by Nikola Jokic in the last 3 quarters against the Thunders historic defense

Jokic in the B2B games vs OKC - 29.5 points, 15.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 2.0 blocks on 58/25/54 and 61% TS vs SGA - 32.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.5 blocks on 50/28/100 and 62% TS. OKC and Denver Split the season series at 2-2 and remain the top 2 seeds in the West.

Did the Nuggets-OKC back to back games against each other do anything to sway your opinion one way or the other for MVP?

Jokic vs SGA ends in a 2-2 split for the season - Jokic 25/15/11.5/3.2 BLK+STL | SGA 30/5/6.5/3.2 BLK+STL

OKC Thunder commentators baffled and annoyed by opposing players foul-baiting

Soldiers go downriver into an increasingly oppressive jungle. At the end stands a broken man, lost in his own delusion.

[Highlight] Nikola Jokic don't understand why he got called for the loose ball foul on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (with a replay). SGA makes both free throws, and he got 31 points in the first 3 quarters.

SGA since the All-Star Break: 34.8/ 5.1 /7.1 with 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks

Is Anthony Edwards considered a top 5 shooter in the nba? Edwards has made more 3 pointers than anyone this season.

Season 1 event that requires such incompetency from Lumen management that it seems tantamount to a plot hole.

Me reading some of these theories...

You must eradicate from yourself clownish folly

Nuggets head into the All-Star break on a 21-5 record in the last 26 games

Which team would win the whole thing?
