Congratulations to NIKOLA JOKIC for winning THE 2021 NBA MVP AWARD.

It was a close match between Embiid but he actually deserves it as well. We haven't seen an NBA Center winning MVP since Shaq in 2000, I'm glad that he made it this year.



I believe that any other choice would be unfair. The Joker has played brilliantly all season and now he is pulling Denver in the playoffs as well, despite many injuries to his teammates. Jokic was named the MVP as the lowest drafted player in the league's long history. In 2014, he was selected by the Nuggets with number 41. Out of 101 voters, Jokić received 91 nominations. Second was Steph Curry (5), then Chris Paul (2), Joel Embiid, Derrick Rose and Giannis Antetokounmpo, one each. Who the hell voted for D-Rose?! Smiley

Agreed, especially after Jamal Murray went down Jokic stepped up le an MVP would.  Dude has a very silky slow game that no one can seem to stop its actually amazing to watch.  The game just seems so slow for him, where other players have to be so twitchy to shake players.

Jazz do play like a well oiled machine. I mean they are doing very well, and that is why I believe they will have a good chance of winning the league this year, only opponent for them in my mind is Nets. However last time I said "there is no way they can lose" to a team it was Lakers, I believed they would beat Suns very easily and look where we are, which means I am not that great at assessing team talent, which is why I think there is a good amount of chance that we may not see Jazz in finals if I am wrong again.

However Clippers is not that great this year neither, they barely won against Dallas and Jazz is first seed so it wouldn't really be a shock if they ended up losing neither, it is going to be a very entertaining series to say the least. If jazz keeps playing this team ball, they are really better than anyone else, not because their team is better on paper, but because they play with full chemistry.

Clippers are also playing the same, they have good chemistry and they have a reliable leader. Jazz only won by 3 points, so it's not really a dominant performance by the Jazz, remember that this is a best of 7 series, and only 1 game was concluded, so expect a tougher battle gong forward as Clippers will certainly makes an adjustment to win.

The play was not properly executed, the defense of Jazz was there so it's a failed comeback by the Clippers.

Don't worry it's just one game, this is going to be a long series for sure.
Clippers will adjust and might take game 2, just saying.
Yes, that last play. But what hurts the most is they still have 1 timeout available. Morris could not think clearly that moment because of the tall man all over his face.  Grin
It should've been Kawhi who called for the timeout before passing it to Morris. They could've drawn a better option to make the three like Kennard who was hot with 4/6. It's just Game 1, and they gave the whole Utah fans some scary moments there. I hope we see those kind of games again to entertain us more.
I don't even have a bet for either team but I screamed my lungs out for Jordan Clarkson.  Cheesy

I noticed the same, they can call a timeout and create a good play instead of forcing that last attempt from Morris, It's wise to regroup and find the right option to take sot for tying this game,

Though it's all done and we all got entertained from the outcome, still a long way for Jazz since Clippers shake them and almost snatch this one from them,.

Home-court fans surely scream a loud seeing how their favorite players bring out the best and made them enjoy..

I just like the Jazz vs Clippers.

I thought Clippers would win game 1 but the Jazz knows how to make a big run and win the game.
They were undermanned as they don't have Conley who is for me the best contributor in the series against the Memphis.
But no Conly, no problem for them.

Let's go CLippers, lol.. I'll bet on the Clippers in game 2.
It was a close game, and I wouldn't say that the Jazz hadn't problems without Conley, especially in the first half of this match. However, there are interesting statistics that the Jazz won 8 out of 10 games without Conley in the regular season.

Clippers should be more physical with Mitchelle, he has 16/30 shooting that's 53% shooting which is a very good percentage, also, they allow him to shoot 16 attempts, which means the defense is not so focused on him.  Next time when it's really necessary, Leonard will certainly take care of him all throughout the game like what he did with Luka.

Let's move on to the Clippers vs Jazz game.
So much has been said already but can't blame them as that was a thrilling game. It's turning out to be another seven game thriller.

What about the Suns vs Denver game 2. We know game 1 was not exciting, do you think game 2 is gonna be an exciting game, like a close game where we don't know who will win? I think the Nuggets handicap is too high, I believe they will bounce back, who's with me?
The Suns could carry the momentum but they'll find it harder to win this time. We also do not know how long Paul's shoulder would last. It may been "fix" quickly in game 1 but it could be worse in game 2.

That was one of the best games I saw this playoff so far.

It was the Clippers who lead the game early, they lead by double-digit, and then Jazz had a big run and lead by double-digit, but the game ended up very close. It's one game, it does not hurt a lot on the Clippers as they are on the road, but if Jazz loses that game, things could be different going forward as they evenly match, the series odds is like 1.90 or something for each team.

I think the Nuggets handicap is too high, I believe they will bounce back, who's with me?
I'm with you with the handicap.

I thought they'll get that clutch 3 to get the OT but God Gobert was just a defensive weapon of Jazz. Still, I guess the Clippers give the best they could and will still be rooting for them all the way to get the 4th win. The game between them was way too exciting to watch in this round and Mitchell was way unstoppable getting those points on the paint with those layups, I hope they'll contain him the next game.

^^ Yes, Jazz started slow but they were able to turn around, I'm surprised that Clippers can't sustained and just melted under the pressure. Clarkson hitting 3's in the third quarter that gave them the lead and they didn't relinquished it.
That's how the playoff was! very exciting, I'm with the Clips but with how Jazz turned the game to their favor it really amazed me, they managed to
adjust and not to allow Kawhai to takeover, Congrats to all Jazz fans for snatching this game.

Quote
Congrats to Jokic fans, I have a feeling that he will be the MVP based on his performance and the numbers he is putting this season. Expect him to play good in the next game against the Phoenix Suns.

He deserved it more than to any  contenders, he didn't missed any game and he played all well, I'm rooting for him too aside from Luka  he also
help his team to reached  the semis. Congrats Joker!

Yeah, congratulations to Nikola Jokic. First Most Valuable Player in Denver Nuggets history.
~
He deserve it. He never missed a game with 72 games played during the regular season.
He is healthy all throughout the season.
His passing ability has an effect towards other centers right now and because of that, we see some centers doing some insane passes. Well deserved and with that, he is the 6th International Player who won an MVP award.

We have a game between Jazz and Clippers, now it's Jazz time to comeback and making it close in the third quarter. Gonna be interesting how the game will turn out. Clippers just holding a slim margin and it's their turn to have a scoring drought. Hard to see, who will win in the end, perhaps defense will be the key here.

Great game so far they been going back and forth in the 2nd half and this is only game 1 this is going to be one hell of a series. But Utah looks great!
Ended with a defensive win. Rudy Gobert blocked Morris' 3 point attempt that could've tied the game for overtime.
That was some thrilling game that we witnessed. Playoff game on a high level.
Leading by 17 at the half, the Clippers can't sustain their lead and because of that they lose in Game 1.

That was a close game meaning these 2 teams are evenly matched and TBH, its really hard to predict who will win in this series knowing that they are matched. Mitchell had 45 points and Clarkson had 18. I just don't know how in the hell PG13 shot 4/17 in the field. He got 20 points yes but his shooting percentage :X. If only he had a better shooting then they might win on this game. We need a Playoff P not Pandemic P where he can't contribute that much.

Anyway, lets wait for Ty Lue's team for their adjustments in the next game Smiley.

The Clippers has to limit the offensive firepower of the Jazz if they want to steal one game in Utah. They can't allow Mitchell and Clarkson to wax hot from the outside in game 2. I'm backing the Clippers in this series but seeing game 1, I'm a little bit scared that they will lose the series  Smiley. Gobert offensive contribution to the Jazz was not so evident but yet the Clippers lose so what if he explodes in the succeeding game, disaster for the Clippers I believe  Sad.
The clippers are doing great in the first three-quarters of the game but slowly Mitchell step on the gas in the fourth quarter, and Clarkson, Bogdanovich let the clippers show why they are the top seed, also George need to be consistent, he's on and off when it matters the most because if he will be like that for sure the jazz will eat them alive in this series, then need to lock down Donovan Mitchell.

Yeah, just one game, but Utah shows its strength already, coming back from a deficit and then hitting there three point shot. And you are right, defense win the game as Robert block the shot of Kawhi.

So let's see what adjustments Ty Lue will do in game 2. They can steal one game and take home court advantage. Luke Kennard is the surprised by tallying 18 points, mostly three's.
