What the Nuggets are doing to the Lakers is an absolute torture...

Nuggets so repeating this year. No doubt about it.

Denver is a hell of a team... They have the best player in the league and he didn't touch the ball in a clutch game for the last 2 minutes.

The Joker scored a nice and 1 against AD to cut the lead to just one point was the turning moment.

I dont know why they dont talk about Minn dominating the boards against Phoenix but a 25 rebound difference is significant advantage ,Minnesota continues the same play and wins again against Phoenix.
Indianapolis WONT be held under a 100 pts tonight and evens the series in the 1st game the visiting team wins

And the Mavs understanding they need to up the pace to open up the offense. Luka has to stop dribbling the air out of the ball .I hope he watched Jokic last night .Jokic orchestrates his offense without dribbling so f**king much. Lets remember the Mavs have athletic dunkers and USE them . Don't let Zubach scare away the lob.
And lets back to Luka,Kyrie ,Exum lineup and push the PACE on the Clippers ,Harden and Westbrook dominated the pace in the last game. ....... Mavs win tonight.

6 out of 8 quarters the Phoenix Suns held under 24 pts against the Timberwolves

Porzingis was never that guy, 4 points on 1-9 shooting. I told Celtics fans he would come up small in the playoffs, they argued with me wouldn't listen.

I'm stunned, after watching the 1st game, and how the Celtics handled them, I expected a massacre of a sweep.

Cs are good, probably very good... But it's hard win a championship with just Porz and Horford under the basket.

How can they stop Jokic? They have no chances.

I like seeing KP lose, and would like to see the same for Brunson

The more I think about it it's a huge upset on paper, maybe one of the biggest ever, but I think Miami has a shot. It's 1-1 going to Miami. Celtics need at least 1 of Porzingis or Holiday to show up in Miami to win 1 or both of those games. Holiday sucked both games so far, Porzingis was bad in Game 2 and that was in Boston. If they go down 3-1 they will fold.

From the highlights, Mazulla insists on playing KP in a drop, and Heat are swinging it to the open shooter, and at 1st sign of space they let it fly.
On the other end, Spo's zone schemes muck up the offense.
It's a shooting luck strategy for the Heat, but it's all they have, I doubt they'll take another 2 games in this series, but who knows, these cockroaches are indestructible...

I think Miami has no chances to win the series without Butler. Spo is a good coach but it's not enough.

A bit of unpopular opinion, but I think Celtics losing earlier to injured Miami is actually good for them in later series.

Remember in 2011, Mavs were finally playing their best games after the Blazers tied the series to 2-2 in round one.

In hindsight, I think it will help Celtics to learn to put their shat together.

Porzingis will let them down regardless. They can probably get by with him being bad in most series if Holiday shows up, but he's a playoff choker too.

Without them two showing up they're basically the Mavs with worse defense. Having to rely on their two top guys to do all the scoring.

Fakers about to get their arse swept. Love it!

Teams that play smallball are going to run into reality against Denver and Minnesota.

Porter Jr has grown up and scorching the net making Jokic and Porter Jr very tough on the backboards

Most if not all Mavs fans should hate KP. He quit on this team and set us back

Thanks to Jokic to make NBA great (watchable) again. The small ball aka 3 points era aka the weak era has been ruining this sport.
