  1. Playing every other day is not a stretch. Also, that's part of the game and the mark of a good team is depth. Also, these playoffs go on long enough. Stretching the series out would make it worse. OKC will be fine. They're all 25 years old.
  2. Was at the game and just got back from dinner and drinking. Caruso is so elite as a defender. He D'ed up Jokic in a manner that Rodman would do to Shaq back in the day. (Both gave up the same height and weight differences.) Elite knowledge of position, leverage, knowing where the ball is and where it would need to be for Jokic to get it. This whole series has been a masterclass from him. If you didn't like either team and just liked basketball, this was a great series. Okie City's coach also adjusted and didn't play JWill at all and went with Caruso on Jokic with Chet and Hartenstein. OKC just finally hit some shots. Props to Denver for a hard fought series. I always thought whoever won this would win the whole thing.
  3. Flopper on a team full of drama queen malingerers.
  4. The Okie City coach should list the entire roster as "questionable" because of "flu symptoms" NBA guys are some of the biggest bitches out there. If a star NFL player did what Murray did yesterday, he'd be mocked around the league. These are also the guys who fake fight. I'll believe Gordon is really injured when I see him limping around on Sunday afternoon.
  5. Can you believe Kendrick Perkins gets paid to talk on TV?
  6. Oh for fuck's sake. It's something every single game with that team. Porter has a giant sling on his should and supposedly can't lift his arm except when he's on offense. I fully expect Gordon to play and be fine. Oh, the drama. It's like they're all Willis Reed cosplay or some shit.
  7. Supposedly he was open to it but the team wasn't. They thought he'd disrupt the chemistry of a young team and they're right. Durant has some downsides at this point in his career but scoring isn't one of them. As for Jalen Williams, that's a tough decision. He didn't have a good playoffs last year but that was his first one. This year has been a repeat. If it happens for a third time, then that's what you are and his trade value starts to take a hit. He's a legitimately good all around player. He can do everything on offense and might be one of the most versatile players in the league on defense. They can easily have that with him for another 10 years but will that get them a title? Working with a Durant swap, that's trading a decade of really good for one title. I don't think they'd do it but I promise you that both teams would take the call. Phoenix gets a good pairing with Booker, Jalen likely gets more money there than he would with OKC, Phoenix gets some draft picks, and they just ride out the Beal contract. OKC gets Durant along with Chet and Shai.
  8. OKC will likely asses his value in the off season if they lose. He's an All Star but if he comes back next year and shits the bed in the playoffs (again) then his value is significantly downgraded. Really, they could get Durant on the cheap at this point. Offer up Jalen for KD and a random draft pick. PHX might take it.
  9. Off season trade. I'll say it. Jalen Williams, Aaron Wiggings and some draft picks for Kevin Durant. It works for both sides.
  10. He's done everything well except score and shoot, which is kind of important.
  11. Same. He shit the bed last year, too. He's been terrible both against Memphis and Denver.
  12. Jalen Williams offering up a bloody wet tampon of a game (again). If OKC is going to win, Shai is going to have to take over. He managed the 3rd quarter with no fouls so there's that.
  13. The next big game Jalen Williams has in a big game will be his first.
  14. Shai with two stupid fouls, especially the last one. You got 3 fouls, you can't be reaching in and swiping like that.
  15. Oh, look. Murray is fine. Porter's should seems perfectly fine on offense. Oh, the drama.
  16. Now he's taken off questionable and will play. Oh, the drama.
  17. Oh, he'll play. Jeez.
  18. I'll bet my life's savings they know every single thing Hunter Biden ever did.
  19. That's not the reason. The reason is the NBA wants to give the Warriors every advantage it can. The first round schedule was ridiculous. Here's hoping they lose tonight. I like Steph but I hate the favoritism they get from the league.
  20. Dort going on a heater was not on my bingo card.
  21. OKC is Shai and a bunch of B level guys who can't hit big shots in the moment. Denver is Jokic and a bunch of B level guys who can hit shots in the moment.
  22. Denver hitting every shot they need and OKC fucking up every possessing they need. OKC gets it close and Denver goes on a 9-0 run. Dort is completely terrible and a liability but they keep playing him.
  23. This is the right answer. Trading the future for Giannis and his $178M right now is basically ceding Wemby away in five years because the team is middling. If Harper is good, that's a solid core.
  24. Dort is such complete ass on offense. Just awful to the point he's a liability.
