I’m not a fan of the court design. It’s way too “busy”.

Still don't know why Udoka won't start Jabari. You need offense dude.

The west was so close that it allowed teams who are not contenders to get the 2nd and 3rd seed. So lame.

Houston selling to start this thing. Letting the Warriors crowd get up is not a great idea.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Disgrace of a #2 seed.

Is this Houston team the worst 2nd seed in recent memory?

Bro how do these refs let Draymond do whatever?

He's literally grabbing and shoving guys. This crap makes the NBA look bad. Call the damn T!

Do Rocket fans actually like Jalen Green? Genuine question.

I think Silver might change the format after this. Make seeding league wide instead of conference
