      AG is a great example of a player that has totally bought in to Jokić Ball and it's brought out the best in him. I'm very impressed by his passing which I didn't think was in his bag but also how much more cerebral his game is especially when replacing Jok as small ball 5.
      He hit the ground running from the day he arrived in those first 12 games before Murray injury but he is a much more polished player and decision maker now. That crazy lockdown year he spent being #2 to Jokić when Murray & MPJ missed season allowed him to expand his game next to Jokić and while he isn't always called to use all his skills, I trust his strength, speed, defense, rebounding as well as passing, decision making, being ball up, setting up scorers.
      His chemistry with Jokić is as good as Jokić and Murray.

      It's not like it's stacked tho compared to lakers for instance nuggets have 1 top5 pick, and 2 other top 10, 1 more in the teens everyone else is bottom 3rd 1st rd or later whereas lakers got 2 #1 picks and a 2nd overall pick and 4 more top 10 picks and another in the teens

    Lots of misreads and missed rotations by LeBron, and yet he's the only one pointing fingers. And whining to refs, of course. Such a douche.
