nah **** the clippers....I hope they're out in the 2nd round.

Rooting for Denver to win it all again.


Same. It's gonna be up to jokic to serve my ongoing pettiness directed towards the clippers lol. I see the west as a two team competition when it comes down to it. If reasonably healthy the clippers and nuggets will destroy everything in their path until they face each other.

Watching the clippers win a chip is gonna sting. I hate their owner. I hate their primmadonna locker crap about some guys given special privileges. I hate their whole concept of a team. Hate hate hate lol.

My fellow rap fans....we are all jokic/murray when it comes to the western conference finals.

I am rooting for okc vs Denver western finals

It could happen if nuggets eliminate clips in second round. I think everyone digs OKC but they need to make some tweaks imo. Maybe a season or 2 away from serious playoff contention. I could see them flaming out this year in a first round upset. Especially if they have to play the lakers. They definitely need a center and more bench.

Ah yeah Denver would be cool too for Jokers legacy. He needs multiple titles
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

It would have been nice to get Mathurin in that trade for Siakim. Having a game against Memphis today. The kid is going to be special!

The Pistons in general have played better without Cunningham.

The nfl is just as crooked as the nba
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yeah this is disgusting. Anything to get Taylor in the Superbowl. They're treating Baltimore like the Raps vs the Lakers. I counted 3 game changing blown calls in favour of KC. Absolutely sickening!

Wouldn't be surprised to see him miss the 5 games, so he could blame not getting the award on the new rule, rather than him not being voted for the award. I don't see him getting it 2 years in a row.
