The playoffs is a different animal.

This also applies to the Celtics.

We are the only team which “might” beat Denver in a 7-game series.

MN could knock off the Nuggets, but the Lakers certainly won't.

Lakers still getting the soft regular season foul calls while everyone else has to fight through the physical playoff defense.

Denver has not attempted a free throw in the second half.. Just another reason why my hatred for l.A goes to another **** level..

As I post that Austin Reeves gets an.N one.

Great play by Davis, as he literally wraps his off hand around jokers waist! And they have the audacity to keep showing it as a highlight
