Really sucks when an all time great is barely hanging in. Father time always wins in the end. Red Panda f-ed up her finale two times in a row

15/6/5 at the half. Amazing what happens when he’s allowed to do more with the ball rather than been limited to a 4th option.

Nice i think he's fine with scoring 15

She should just go for 60 one night and then call it a career.

Brook Lopez might be the slowest player in the league (even slower than Nurkic).

I was all set to watch the Wolves/Dubs game after Clemson/Baylor but the only streams I can find are the Dubs feed.. the worst feed in the NBA.

Bucks defence is very impressive right now. Totally shutting down one of the best offensive teams in the NBA. They are serious contenders

I'm very impressed by the Bucks 3rd quarter defense. Excellent rotation and close outs.

SGA is shutting himself down tbf.
Btw, games like this show that he shouldn't get the MVP cause when his shooting isn't on point, you can see he can't impact the game in other ways like guys like Joker or Luka can

This is the biggest problem with the Thunder: Size. The Lakers could be a 1st round matchup for them, and that's a difficult matchup.

Did they call that a flagrant on McDaniels?

No?

They 1000% should have.

Smh.

And I'm 1000% going for MIN.

Watched first half of UCONN, very ugly ball but they are playing. Switch to NBA game, and the first thing I see is referee review that is taking minutes... Classic NBA.

He does go to the line as well

But he can get red hot in the final quarter too.

But as for MVP, I cannot envision anyone but Jokic not winning it again, which would put him on the Parthenon of all time greats..

I suppose the one silver lining is jb didn't run his starters into the ground during a blowout loss lol

Luka is a very serious contender considering the circumstances (cf how many injuries Mavs have suffered this season) and his' own historical season (+ that legendary 73 pts game)

This is why I believe Mark Daigneault is a bit overrated. Giddey clearly having a great game and is the only OKC player without a negative +\-, but he sticks to his normal rotations and leaves him on the bench.

Being a good coach is the ability to adapt on the fly and leave the guys in who are performing.

Pacers vs. Lakers - I'll be there.

Will Siakam lead his team to victory against LeBron & co.?

I did the bbref game today and got them all except Suns/Pacers.

Who's a player who played for both?

I keep trying to emphasize this, but no one seems to have caught on yet: midgets do not make effective basketball players.

Who wins?
