    ESPN is a great place to work. Get paid millions of dollars to be wrong and have no solid position. It's the constant flip flopping. So definitive one day but will come off that position in a heartbeat. It's not about being right or wrong It's the presentation.

I think that’s part of why the media treats him and the Nuggets so bad, because he/they won’t “play along” with the games being the game and i love him and this team for that!!!

      The best Players in this Era are European. They see Edwards as the last chance to have an American face of the league. Of course he's insanely good and charismatic but still they've found their new poster boy. I don't know the relationship between Canadians and Americans since I´m from Europe, but maybe it is the same with Shai. SAS can't even say Luka´s name properly, Doncik. He's obviously cheering for his Americans and especially if they're African-American which is understandable, I´m not here to judge. Athleticism just sells better.

      @calebwilson3892 It's not about who they lost. It's about what he did or didn't do. If you had watched the Lakers games and followed the team you would have known. Everyone could see he was nowhere to be found when the other team went on scoring, he never used to call a time out to cut that or make adjustments. Lakers fans even kept joking tell Ham he can't save time outs and challenges for the next game/season. He was also notorious about not using challenges and when he started using it in the end we saw what happened. Ham found his starting five after 50 (!!!) games into the season, having played Prince and Radish for a lot of minutes even though they never delivered. Even when he found the starting five he played Austin and Rui for fewer minutes than you normally play your starters. So that starting five, that started starting after All Star and that played even fewer minutes than normal went to play DEN, who has the starting five who has played the most together in the league. No wonder role players were not themselves in the DEN series. Eventually, he lost the locker room. DLo had a conflict with him, AD called him out. They players did not trust him. What did you expect the Lakers to do, to keep Ham and drop everyone else. Ham was horrible at his job and the Lakers fans could not wait to see him go. It's just that some media clowns realized it was attention grabbing and lucrative to start the narrative where they would blame LeBron for "poor" Darvin Ham. 🙄 Darvin Ham was a shame, didn't know what he was doing and didn't even try hard enough. The Lakers did what they did not because of him, but in spite of him. And if he only didn't mess up with the starting five, they might have even won DEN.

    No need to apologize, Nuggets disrespected themselves after first two games. The key in game 3 was Denver changing their strategy by using Minnesota's size advantage in their favor. Wolves can't play game 4 with so many big men on the court at the same time because they are slow to come out and cover Denver's open shot taker. Put Edwards on Murray and Gobert OR Kat OR the 6th man on Jokic (no more double team hovering on the serbian unless he suddenly gets crazy hot). Ant needs to attack the basket way more next time in order to get the buckets, get the assists or get the fouls.

    People can only remember the last thing that happened. If the wolves win the next game everyone will say it’s over for the nuggets. Just the way it goes

      And if the Nuggets win by double digits they will say Nuggets are winning the series, the series is over

    Even if wolves game 4, don’t run Denver off, they can comeback from 3-1

      Funny how you believe it. He said from game 2 it was over for Denver, remember that.

    If Coach Malone decides to do announcing after his coaching days are done, he'll be tremendous. What a character!
