That sound you hear is the tank revving up. Blake wants to play with Porter/Doncic/Ayton.

Is a Wade drive really the best we could do? Gah

Why are you reaching and trying to dribble it instead of grabbing the rebound??

I was criticized in another thread for saying Wade was washed up, more name than game, and thinks he's better than he really is. Seems pretty accurate to me.

He would have destroyed Griffin there if he had the legs, instead throws up some weak junk at the rime

I hate to say it, because I used to love Jimmy so much, but he has changed completely. I think they acquired a cancer.

I wish Flip never died, Minnesota had a good thing going. I really wise he could have carried out his vision.

How come CP3 couldn't put away an injured Jazz team with all their bigs in foul trouble in a Game 7 at home?


CP3 was still guarded by an amazing defender at PG.

Blake Griffin missed the last 3 shots in a row, including 2/3 in the paint and one of those was an airball.

How could this be though? Isn't he the clutch one? How could he miss all those against the worst defense in the league? :o

Wow, Kevin Love is so useless. Can't shoot anymore. Can't rebound in crucial times. Sad...

Damn if Love wasn't being held that would have been a tip in.
