Guy turns 39 in a couple weeks. Its absolutely nuts he's still this good. Even the biggest haters need to take a step back and realize they're spending their time being negative and nitpicking instead of appreciating what's been going on for 20 years. Just hoping he doesn't have a major injury like Kobe to end it so we can see how long he can do it.

Yup same old nba, gotta prop up the Lakers and give tired old lebron one more bauble for the mantle. Sad. I wasn’t following the west, why aren’t the TWolves in this thing? That would’ve made this fun, now I could care less.

I'm rooting for the Lakers to win it simply because I think it will be funny when LeBron stans use the IST championship to piss off Jordan stans.

I think if the lakers win it, we’ll probably get some think piece articles from sites that shall-not-be-named about how when the games matter, there’s still no one better than lebron.

It would be nauseating.

Against the pelicans, did the TWolves get knocked out and I missed it? Denver? OKC? Like I said I didn’t really follow the west but our bracket had the one and two seed in the quarter quell. The Pacers earned this even if I think that we shouldve crushed them and I think that the Lakers will. I’m asking did the Lakers earn this too?

We’re all doom and gloom here but imagine being a Pellies fan and watching a generational level talent like Zion waste his career because cheeseburgers taste better than winning an NBA title. We’re very lucky to have someone as talented and driven as Giannis leading the Bucks.

Yeah I kind of feel bad for all 10 of the pels fans out there. Not only what you said but you'd also be thinking about the return you would have gotten in a trade a couple years ago. And to boot you know he doesn't even want to be in New Orleans.

Cause they didnt show up in the meaningful tourney games? LeBron when he needs to win is gonna do his thing like hes done for 20 years. Then again maybe watch the games and see LeBron certainly aint old and tired. Still a top 3 player in the league.

Tired old Lebron? What's this about? He's having a great season. He's missed 1 game, playing over 33 minutes per. Shooting 41% from deep. If he was 29 the great year he's having would be talked about incessantly. The fact he turns 39 in 3 weeks amplifies it.

Jokic 1/10 so far. Off the back of a 9/32 performance the other night.

Edwards likely rushed back too early and then left the game after re-aggravating his injury 3 minutes in.

Wolves are one of the league darlings so far but they aren't resting anyone and tonight is already the 6th time they have played the Jazz, Grizz, and Spurs dumpster fires. They are definitely going to regress to the mean or die getting a top seed only to disappoint in the playoffs.

Draymond Green demonstrates why fouling when up 3 in hopes of getting only 2 FTs is not necessarily a no-brainer.

Good defense on Curry by Dort to send it to OT

Warriors/Thunder have already played their 4 games, 21 games into the season. Good scheduling.

This Thunder core is so nasty, **** unreal that they got Chet and Jdub in the same draft.
