I only caught the 3rd and first 7 minutes or so of the 4th before falling asleep. From what I’ve seen at least the last 2 games is the Warriors don’t look like the Warriors of old at all and it’s getting progressively worse. I know this game was closer than the last, but they play scared, unsure of rotations, limited on scorers they trust, and making lots of bad mistakes in turnovers and/or bad shots. The free throw issue is real and I’m not sure if they’re driving with not getting a call on their minds or what but it’s more than the refs. At least as of right now, and 3-1 is no joke so could just be how it is, the Lakers are just better.

On the flip side the Lakers don’t look that great either, the Dubs are just bad. Why couldn’t we face this version last year??

Thunder gonna be good next year. They made the play-in this season with a VERY young roster. Those young guys will be better next year, plus they add Holmgren and a lottery pick in this month's draft. Daigneault is a very good coach, too.

Spurs the last couple years have just been getting rid of anyone who plays well. D-white, dejounte, lonnie, poeltl, J-Rich, Stanley Johnson..

They're tanking so hard for Wemby.

Congrats, Derrick White! Well deserved.

The Nuggets team I have been watching against the Suns would eat us alive (if we reached the finals, that is). I don't think we could win in Denver and they could easily steal one in Boston.

Apparently Spida is pissed he didnt make 1st team. I dont know why, he shouldnt have made 1st team. The only conceivable gripe could be Doncic didnt make playoffs, but really Doncic is still lightyears ahead of Spida

Knicks did enough to keep their season alive.

Brunson played every single minute and Grimes.

Shows that their players really care about the goal of winning a championship. Thibs may be running them to the ground, but the fans at least know they're putting in the effort.

Lakers up 3-1, all of the sudden in game 5 they can't get to the free throw line. 10-7 at the half. NBA wants longer series, no more 20 free points for the boys in yellow. :roll:

Knicks got 40 free throws tonight to extend the series. I know I'm boring you with this but I hate seeing stuff like this.
