"inconclusive"

Seriously. If it's inconclusive, it should be a jump ball.

But whatever, the Knicks beat the Heat AND the refs.

GG.

I watch basically every DEN game, and it honestly seems like Jokic pulls off his most spectacular passes in the national games. Probably just coincidence. That one was insane. It didn't even look possible until it was completed.

OKC need to sell high on SGA.

He shoots too much and basically negates a lot of the good players (and team work) on this squad.

He is also going to be in his peak well before the rest of the team is.

Really good offensive player but you need to look at this intelligently and plan ahead.

That ultimately depends on how good Chet will be. It's pretty tough to find a player better than SGA. Dude has top 5 value right now

I think Gobert will hurt the Lakers inside game too much tonight.

I hope the Lakers hit enough 3s to get the TWolves to keep them honest

Julius with the superhero shot to top off a real monster performance.

it blows the 12-13 team away.

Hopefully management doesnt do any knee jerk moves cause they want a “star”. I would let the youth continue to grow.

Jimmy Butler pulled a Embiid tonight freaking 20 FTA

I don't know if everyone understands just how absurd of a pinpoint off the cuff "outlet" (it's not an outlet, it's a dime) this is. It's an almost impossible pass at the exact perfect spot. Nobody is CLOSE to as good as him as a passer in the NBA.

Jeff Green played for the Sonics. Think about that

RJ is such a liability it's like playing 4 vs 5 on offense and defense Knicks somehow won this but yea you can't play RJ in playoff type game like tonight.

That is his next test. He's a lot better mentally this season, lets see how it shakes out in the playoffs.

Did you miss the "Herro out of bounds", the ticky tack foul on Bam vs. Randle? A lot of calls they let slide weren't getting...let go...

Stop it. That was a valid reason not to overturn the call. If we had kept our foot on their throats in the third then that weak call wouldn't have mattered. If you want to be mad then be mad at how flat we came out after halftime.

The refs were terrible tonight. But man, let's be real here, Butler was not fouled as much as he was. The refs wanted to keep this game close.

Think of it this way...he's the only guy in the NBA capable of facilitating a score in <2 seconds off a rebound on a consistent basis

Turns out maybe water polo is the best base for NBA ball

The Bam foul was pretty clear contact with Julius' hand/wrist...but yeah, the sport is just too fast for there not to be any missed calls and the most egregious one went in our favor; the Herro out of bands.

Who wins?
