Woj finally kneeling down and kissing the ring. Waiting on Becky Hammon

Still not quite there. He is the best player on a contender.

Big Perk nodding and smiling in agreement with Woj

Perkins may be one of the only respectable and sensible people left on those ridiculous ESPN crews. He's a straight shooter

Any scenario that involves Miami is not a good scenario for us. That team has our number.

Yes it's not a good scenario...it's a GREAT one. And they have our number ..it's 911

Jalen aint the best player on a contending team, but he sure as hell the most important player.

[Besart19]

if we fear Miami to play against, we have no business being in the playoffs... title or bust... we need to build that mentality

Sure he is.

If we mean business in the playoffs, then Heat won't be standing in our way.

Sure he is.

So he's better than Tatum, Nikola, and Luka? Hell, I could probably argue Edwards and Shai as well.

Yes he's better than Tatum...and yes he is the best player on a contender.

Brunson isn't the fastest, he doesn't jump the highest and he's quite often the smallest player on the court, yet he is one of the most exciting players to watch do what he does. Dude is a magician performing dark arts out there.

Brunson is must see basketball...try to tell me he's not, I dare you.

[Reign23]

gonna be a wild last day of the season.

[gavran]

I have to say, the league can lick a sack to have the team end the season with 3 games in 4 nights.

Yeah, I read that as a pseudo-compliment.

Jalen would be the most important player on a team Iif he was on a real contender.

If that's how he meant it, I'm not receiving it.

I don't think we "fear" anyone. We just don't want dirty play injuries from Miami or unnecessary play from our opponents that prevents us from advancing.

At this time of year, matchups are extremely important and part of preparation for the game. It's real easy to say we can face anyone (which sounds good on paper) -- but coaches are using better strategies than that.

Let's get that 50 burger. LFG.
