Yeah, that surprised me. I'm also surprised at how well Sacramento is playing on defense. Ten up going into the 4th puts them in the driver's seat this game.

They’re up 16 with under 5 to go. I think this game is theirs.

Malik Monk has been such a game changer for the Kings in the playoffs so far. 2nd leading scorer for the team and he plays off the bench.

Keegan Murray has been very strong for them too considering he’s a rookie.

Murray has been excellent, Monk has been amazing, the defense has been mind-blowing. Game 7 is going to be insane.

Poole missing that dunk just now is somehow hilarious

Kings-Warriors game wasn't as good as game 3 nor 4, but whole series is excellent.
Fox and Monk were excellent tonight.

ON other hand, Memphis is such a letdown. They didn't even show up for 2 out of 6 playoff games.

Blown out by 40pts in an elimination game, no one should take those losers seriously again.

Watch on YouTube

great breakdown of Heat-Bucks series, laughable gameplan of Bucks and Giannis doing traveling 4 times in same possession before somebody finally calls it.

Budenholzer brother died during the series, give him a break...

Dillon Brooks pretty much destroyed his career over the last few months with his "villain" BS. He's a really good defensive player, with moments of offense that must be respected...He's become a meme by overplaying the bad guy stuff and sharpening the criticisms of his on-court play. He'll be in the league for years, but he's cost himself a lot of money and respect, IMO.

He compounded it by skipping the postgame interviews like a coward. He could have done himself a lot of good with a few humble comments. "My hat's off to LBJ. He gave me 40 (laughs). He's an all-time great. I'm a competitive guy. He's a warrior too. I look forward to doing battle with him for years. I fear noone blah blah. We've got a great young team, we've really missed our big guys, Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke in this series, but we'll be back. Hats off to the Lakers. Win it all for the West"...could have done so much for his apparent lack of self-reflection and maturity without cheapening his tough-guy rep...especially with pending UFA.

I was very interested in him for this summer going into this season as a massive culture-changer (despite his shooting), but I'm out-he's become a cartoonish laughing stock.

Everyone dancing on the grizzlies grave man. Gosh know they deserve it I think all the contenders out west had enough of it. Interesting to see if anything changes next year. I think the grizz were a good blueprint to follow for us but damn you gotta be a little bit humble.

He always was a good player he just needs to be your 3-4th guy not your 1-2 that we tried to turn him into

Exactly... trying to make him into a Paul George is just.... too much. His role in DEN is perfect for him.

Jokic gets anything he wants against Ayton. Makes you appreciate Wendell.

AG is proving me right about being a better Fournier or Vuc for a team.

Jokic can get his against anybody, ditto to Embiid. They are too skilled.

Gordon is 4th most important player on team that has best offensive player on planet Earth. 1/3rd of all his "shots" he made in playoffs were dunks. He is role player that needed 7 years to learn his role. Magic were empowering his "star" BS.

Evan is role player and apsolutley nobody ever claimed he is more than that. Vuc is better than both by wide margin. That's why he was allstar on playoff team twice. Where other guys are now in stage of their careers where they don't play ( Evan) in rotation of playoff teams or are complimentary peaces to stars ( Gordon).

Also for Nuggets, pivotal peace for title hopes is Jamal Murray. If he plays like this than they are favorites to come from West and face Celtics. His ACL tear from two seasons ago robbed them opportunity to contend last year.

Your akwward obsession with Vuc & Evan years after they left is hilarious. Just like you still defend that bum bench warmer who is now located in LA. Just let it go man.

Gordon /Evan/ Vuc was core of supporting cast players on team that needed to land some type of Kawhi Leonard / Lebron James/ Harden / Tatum caliber star in order to contend. Instad Magic front officies never had knowledge nor balls to pull a plug on massive trade in order to do so. So we wasted near decade "building" nothing.
