Bucks-Raps about to tip off.

Celtics-Pacers in a close one, pretty important game for seeding.

Spurs-Clippers should be the game of the night.

Looking like Giannis is going to rack up another triple double. Man Milwaukee has such a promising future

The core is awesome but we need some serious work on the roster as a whole. Our bench is like Sixers level, we just can't win against good teams when the good our starters do is completely negated by the trash of our bench.

Spurs have the best defense in the league by a wide margin.

Spurs are the 3rd best offensive team in the league lol

The beauty of their team is they can win games with their elite defense. They've had games where they can't hit any 3s , but still score + 100 and/or win with their defense.

If you haven't watched many games, I understand why you'd think that. But this team can score with the best of them.

This is my worry as a Spurs fan. Our bench has the talent to beat up the Warriors bench but our starting 5 is actually really poor as a unit offensively and if you wanna beat the Warriors you've gotta get up on them early.

Also props to the Clippers commentators. They are raving about the Spurs which is nice to hear, but what I'm really impressed with is how well informed they are about every Spurs player. Mentioning that Mills was Olympics leading scorer is a perfect example, really seem like they do their research about the opposing team which doesn't seem too common.

I think you need to look beyond the advanced stats, watching the Spurs you should be worried. We aren't going to hold the Warriors to under 105 and this team could really struggle to get to 110-115 regularly against better defenses.

Kyle lowry is so underrated. He doesn't have the flash of a lillard/wall, but he is better and has more impact than both. Unbelievable on both ends of the court. The heart and soul of the raps.

Without Paul on the floor, the Clips are hot trash. They got a 12-point lead in 5 minutes against Rivers.

CP3 is so freaking good it's crazy. Parker can't do crap against him.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

It is kinda scary to think if the much discussed Paul for Irving trade talk ever gains traction, because good lord... Paul is a mofo. If he could ever be the 2nd fiddle to someone, that would be not fair to the rest of the NBA.

The annual 40+ point eruption by random mediocre role player goes to Bogdan Bogdanovic.
