Nurkic has nothing left in the tank. Blazers may be toast in this series if he doesn't recover. Bron can smell blood. Melo kinda has been their best defender today. That's not good haha.

Stotts is blowing this series playing to LAs strength with these Nurkic + Whiteside lineups

The refs & the basketball gods have restored the NBA’s order.
Clippers up 2-1 w Doncic limited by ankle.
Fakers up 2-1 w Dame limited by 9 fingers.
Bucks up 2-1 & rolling again.

Looks like:

Celtics - Craps (demolishing Nets 3-0)
Deers - Heat (demolishing Pacers 3-0)

Clips - Jazz/Nuggets - Jazz look much better so far!
Fakers - Rockets/OKC - Probably Harden!

After a crazy first few games of round 1. Everything looks to be going as expected now.

Time to send our positive vibes to James Harden.

PG isn't shooting well but I dont care, he'll find his touch, I'm looking at his trash defense and left scratching my head.

All I want for Christmas is for Brooklyn to flukily shoot their way to one measly win, to give us the minor rest advantage. Is that too much to ask? Almost certainly...

I'd LOVE to sign Trey Burke to be our back up point. He'd be great here.

It's been tough being a fan of the NBA this past decade. The game is nothing like it's supposed to be or used to be. Every possession is either an illegal moving screen up top to force a switch. Or it's a guy blatantly carrying the ball i.e. "hesi" to freeze the defender then blowing by him. If the defender recovers the offensive player gets to keep him away with his off arm with impunity. Or it's an ISO where guys clearly travel in order to get separation on these side/back step threes. And clearly the league is rigged because they know this happens and don't care.

How phenomenal is Doncic? Unreal that Atlanta traded him for Trae Young.

you have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and neither are guarding Luka on that play? I've been telling people since 2010, Doc Rivers is a terrible coach. Nobody has done less with more than him. Maybe people might start believing me now. That's embarrassing.
