As always, **** Nico Harrison. Hope every time Luka drains a 3 he stares right at that dumb ****.

JJ Redick runs a beautiful offense. The ball doesn't stick to any player, and with a team with Luka and Lebron, the fact that they have bought in is huge.

Dallas only has 1 big in uniform (Dwight Powell). They will have to play this way for at least 2 more weeks.

Knecht is gone after this season. Lakers desperately need a big man. They failed at the trade deadline but they will try again

lmao how did Memphis let KD catch the ball in the paint and run out to the 3 point line, AND get an attempt off without fouling? They are lucky he missed.

Throwing athletic bigs as a lob threat adds an extra dimension with luka. Luka effectively lob city'd in the playoffs in slow halfcourt games

Beal still doesn't understand how the down 3 thing works. Inbounds to kd in the lane with less than the 3 seconds to go. KD had to run behind the 3 point line top of the key and jack a shot up.

He's a real goofy.
