Masked Booker?

Booker wearing a mask in the playoffs was a good look. Obviously, I don't want him to break his nose again but the mask is a bit similar to Kobe's.

the line has Utah -2.5. do they think we're resting dudes again? we're not losing to the Jazz even if they suit up D-Wade out there.

Exactly! We've already lost three out of our last four games, no way we drop another one even with a few games remaining. And two of those four games we were missing most of our starters.

Starters need to be playing both remaining games. Try and get some good juju and end the season with 65. They don't play again for a week. That's plenty of time off. Plus, CP3/CamJo both need more court time.

Need the starting lineups so I can put my bets on haha. Hoping to get in ahead of the odds changing. Where you at Frank Lee?

Regular starters.

This should be an interesting game. Jazz really need to win to try and keep 5 seed. The question is, would you rather play the Jazz or Nuggets in the 2nd round? Assuming one of those would beat Dallas or GS (I wouldn't expect Denver/Utah to beat them necessarily but they could).

So who is your preference in 2nd round? Denver? Utah? Dallas?

Ayton with some energy. Also noticed on one def reb opportunity he just boxed out Gobert denying him a chance allowing Crowder to grab it.

Good start, their gonna hit some shots now but just gotta keep attacking and playing our style.

Luka just got his 16th technical which should mean 1 game suspension...so they could have tougher time winning their last game giving GS a possibility of holding onto 3rd seed even if they lose.

Cam Johnson has been really bad since he’s returned. Such a shame because he was playing really well before he got hurt.

Ahhh yes. NBA refs and Phoenix Suns getting screwed on foul calls. Tale as old as time.

Starters need to play Sunday. Offense has been lackluster
