Giannis, AD, Curry, Poole, Morant, Herro... I'm sure there's others I'm missing. I hope the ankle on Curry is good to go.


Me too. Specially with how much flopping and falling inside the paint.

The Kings offense built around Sabonis is a good example of how Ben Simmons could have been used if he ever learned to shoot.

Sixers vegas odds went up to +600 in winning championship. Still enjoying my +1600 bet, wished i’d bet at the right time when it went up to +2400 i believe.

Story as old as time. The good turned too arrogant and became the bad guys who can’t accept their decline.

You know the league is in Warriors' pocket if they do not suspend Green for a game or two..

How much money did they give Jordan Poole again?

The biggest problem I see against Celts is Al at the 5. Biid naturally sags into the paint, and this has left Blake Griffin (hit 5 3s in G2) and Al Horford (hit a lot of 3s in G3) around the arc.

Hawks faces a similar problem when Capela is glued to Al at the corner where Celts can just drive to the paint with little contest.

Thats probably why you see Jaylen and Jayson’s #s dropping with Griffin, Al, White and Brogdon’s numbers pumping, its because we have to sort of shade those drives that are leading to those open 3s.

Why does this stuff only happen to Draymond though? I’d get it if it was once or twice, but he does goon things like every game.

Happy for Danny Green out there getting some playoff minutes.

Also, Julius Randle has to be the worst jump passer in NBA history.

Celtics are getting killed by offensive rebounds. Gonna need to see PJ & Tobias do the same if they try doubling Embiid.

Trae Young’s demise follows the same timeline as James Harden’s scoring decline… wonder what caused that? (hint:cheap fouls no longer being called)

Kawhi is still prob one of my favorite players to watch. He’s perpetually injured in the regular season which kills fans into thinking he’s cooked. When healthy, he’s arguably the best player in the league.

Agree. He's like the prototypical 'perfect' basketball player, just a joy to watch.

I hate to say this. But Harden, if he continues to play like this, reminds me of Jason Kidd’s last season with the Mavs. Where he’d run the 2 man game to set-up Dirk at the elbow, and if defense won’t switch he can just shoot from the top of the arc. He’s a very good floor general and manager of the game and got a lot of guys good looks.

Very fun to watch, especially in important games. Didn't he basically say he views the regular season as warm up or practice?
