I think Nuggets win either series, but Lakers would be a better matchup, imo. They have exactly 1 big man on their team in AD who's help defense will be stunted with him having to guard Jokic (and they will get crushed if he ever gets into foul trouble), and their guards wont pull Jokic as far out as Curry/Klay will

Celtics for sure if he wants to pressure the ball. Automatic title with the possession game maxed out.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Unless the Suns pull off a massive upset, I don't know how you can make the case for keeping Monty Williams after two blowout losses at home in elimination games.

they always take steals and blocks from him, idk why but it's been going on all season
he had two clean strips, that's two steals by my count :)

well,to be fair going up against Landale,Byombo and the deflated Suns is too easy for him
no one on this Suns team came to compete tonight

Yeah I always found it a little strange Durant wanted Phoenix considering the luck they've had with Paul


He also thought teaming up with Kyrie would be a good idea so.......

The suns if I know for sure cp3 won’t be there. Cp3 is a locker room cancer every team he is on the players seem to hate each other

I feel like baseball games are quicker now compared to NBA with then pitch clock. Too many stoppages and reviews and BS tv timeouts.

I was going to say, I thought he was stifling a smile. Man.......


And his teammates. I posted way back in the thread "Ayton looks extremely pleased with how things are unfolding." He's thinking, "Y'all don't think I'm so useless now, huh?"
