Pat Beverley is like a breath of fresh air on this show. He is giving us insight on how it is as an actual player on the floor and his experience with the players they are talking about. He isn't sugar coating anything and speaks his mind candidly.

[@dragicaandrejevic2060]

MPJ Nuggets 172,8oo.000 Did the MPJ leave the Nuggets in the lurch because he didn't want to be vaccinated or did they lie to us about a back injury and in fact it was bad form and a big demand that he be the team leader or Ayatollah Nuggets\\\\ Strike One: When Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. came out in the initial stages of the pandemic more than a y\ear ago and said that the Coronavirus was being used for “a bigger agenda” (by whom he didn’t say) “population control” and was being “overblown,” we could all chuckle, shrug and note that his off kilter views were his own, and he’s entitled to have them. Few took his kooky comments seriously, and they didn’t impact his performance or the team, so who really cared? It was April of 2020: “Who knows what’s going to happen when this vaccine comes out,” MPJ said on that social media post. “You might have to have the vaccine in order to travel. That’d be crazy. I’ve never been vaccinated in my life. I’ve never had any shots or anything like that.” Since that post roughly 18 months ago, Porter has contracted COVID-19 twice. More than 700,000 Americans have died from the virus. MPJ still hasn’t received a shot and steadfastly refuses to, even though the NBA has strongly urged all players to do so in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines. Porter’s absence during his bouts with COVID have had a minimal impact on the Nuggets to this point, but that could certainly change this season. The NBA has been successful in getting a reported 95 percent of their players to get vaccinated against the virus. High profile holdouts like MPJ and the Brooklyn Nets Kyrie Irving are being squeezed by state and local mandates that are requiring vaccination for participation in some venues.

They should talk about Butler and his playoffs so far. Averaging Almost 29 points a game and in the eastern conference finals. Made the conference finals with the Heat 2 out of 3 years. They should talk about that. He seems like a top superstar.

The Heat haven't made the conference finals since 2014. That season in the bubble doesn't count. Neither does their Finals loss to the Lakers. It was a money grabber for the league, just like 1999.

Patrick Beverly is right. Devin Booker has zero playoff appearances without Chris Paul. He's definitely not a top 10 player. Stephen A met his match with both Beverly and JJ Redick.

The Suns rosters were terrible early in his career though. Booker had to play out of position at PG and had no help in the backcourt. Chris Paul's arrival lined up with the team improving in other areas too. Suns record without CP3 this year was like 11-4.
