Russell out of his mind tonight. 

Feels like a waste of a rare DLo game.

Yea that’s lame as shit. That should be prime time.

Also move back Knicks game 1 at MSG. That’s too electric for again a noon start.

Yet when they have 4 games on a Sunday, they will wait until 230 to start. Fuckin NBA.

[ztejas 42744]

DEN up to -3.5 from -2.5 last night. Feels about right - I honestly have no idea what to expect though. I feel like either team could get whipped tonight.

Should be fun, but gonna be a tough series. I'll be very surprised if it doesn't go at least 6.

[PittsburghTiger 6049]

I just watched the Lakers highlights. What an absolute ass-kicking. I think four of the Memphis starters were in the range of -25 to -31 for the game. That’s crazy.

[Aqua Buddha 13897]

West will be wide open next year.  Might just be a handful of games separating 1-8.  I have no idea how it’s going to look.

It’s been so long since the Knicks have been in this position that I would think you might want to monetize them as much as possible to your TV audience. It definitely should have been an afternoon start. I feel like a lot of the playoff games back in the 90’s were early starts for them, but I could be remembering it wrong.

I lump him in with will Levis. Be humble even if you wan the genetic lottery

I’d like to hope Levis isn’t beating up teenagers and brandishing guns near them. I try to keep an even keel with most everyone and realize we all mess up, but Morant crossed a threshold with beating up a kid and then showing up to threaten people at a shoe store among the rest of the things he did.

Fuck Dillon Brooks for making me like LeBron. Even for just this series.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8780]

Lol gonna be very interesting to see who makes a run at him knowing his mouth is going to run and he’s unable to back it up

[Chewbacca 7612]

Murray is 14-2 against Booker all time. Let's see how that goes this series. I'm pumped.

[ztejas 42744]

First team to 200 wins. 

[Chewbacca 7612]

First team to 200 wins. 

Looks about right so far.

[ztejas 42744]

Durant is so absurd in single coverage. 

[ztejas 42744]

Lol that isn't a charge. Good fucking Lord that's a bad call. 

[ztejas 42744]

 

 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18326]

Phoenix is painful to watch. Their entire offense is Durant or Booker going one on one. They aren’t even screening to get them to their spots. They just take turns. Of course those two dudes are so good it might be enough but nobody is going to confuse Monty Williams with running Larry Brown’s motion offense. 

[ztejas 42744]

DEN role guys have been great so far.

I mean if you mean Porter this guy was rated best player in his class at some point. This will be a heckuva series

[statsman 5352]

I love KD. I really love him. But he doesn’t have a good handle (he’s 7’ tall, for crying out loud) and I think everyone in the league knows it. 

[ztejas 42744]

Jesus Biyombo is rough sometimes.

This is a bad take. I mean, he doesn't have the handles of a point guard. But for his position, his handles are absurd. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8780]

Does Phoenix have any defensive minded mofos besides okogie and byombo? Lol

I mean Durant has been the best defender on the floor tonight. 

[Dahobbs 17088]

Wrong thread.

Man Denver getting a friendly whistle tonight on top of playing better basketball. Gonna be a tough comeback. 

-

Booker wasn't great nor were the PHO role guys. DEN is disgusing help and sending help late and PHO hasn't figured it out. 

Also the Shamet minutes are baffling at this point. Can Cam Payne not play? Or Lee or Warren? Monty needs to find a spark somewhere.

Nuggs are the 1 seed for a reason. Looking good so far.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18326]

I don’t know that the suns have an answer to Denver’s size. Even Gordon and Porter Jr are giving them problems. Jokic can play bully ball whenever he wants and they’re killing them on the offensive glass. Denver has missed a bunch of layups. Trying not to overreact to game 1 first half but I’m not seeing a lot of options on that phoenix bench. 

[Braff Zacklin 13284]

Halftime of PHX-DEN and all I can say is:

It is weird seeing Chris Tucker as a middle-aged man.

Kd as a player is just absurd.  He’s almost a 7 foot steph.  That being said he and book need to pick it up

[MNLonghornFUKM 8780]

0 fouls on joker lol.

He’s probably had 2 uncalled so far in the first 30 seconds trying to guard Ayton under the hoop

[closetohumping 17258]

Don’t care what happens in this game. Kd is a freak

[ztejas 42744]

Peak KD only thing keeping this close. Denver is just on tonight. 

[Dahobbs 17088]

Amazing Durant could do that with terrible handles. 

[ztejas 42744]

Is Booker banged up?

[Chewbacca 7612]

0 fouls on joker lol.

He’s probably had 2 uncalled so far in the first 30 seconds trying to guard Ayton under the hoop

Is anyone really going to complain about this? He gets beat on more than any superstar in the league.

[closetohumping 17258]

Porter jr is not a part of denver offense

[Chewbacca 7612]

Porter jr is not a part of denver offense

He needs to be.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8780]

Probably nobody else no

[ztejas 42744]

Braun with 4 steals. Sort of huge. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1548]

best I've seen KD play in a long time, he's 110% intensity and focus. 

[PittsburghTiger 6049]

Damn, that play by Murray was pretty as hell.

[aggie08 20210]

Before Murray got hurt, he had a pretty decent case as the 2nd best point guard in basketball.
