Reggie gets tackled refs ignore it.

Do they need a extra ref?

It doesn’t really matter but until just now I always thought his name was Karl Anthony-Towns.
Not Karl-Anthony Towns
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

He had his arm all the way around him and pulled him back. Ref had to call that one.

I dont think you can make those calls when the offensive player is ramming his shoulder into you

Ant needs to get back in the game. This lead is slowly slipping away

One of these two teams have a much better supporting cast and coaching staff than the other lol.


No doubt. Just saying Denver has looked bad for a few weeks now


I mean the Lakers weren’t trash. They played them real well for the most part. Just didn’t have enough.

yeah basically. I mean they aren't getting clean looks at all tonight so they have to take hero shots.


If the shots are in transition, it does make sense. Because those are probably better shots than against the set defense.

Seems like this series is going to be a contest whether the Nuggets are able to lose by less than 20 points.

Way too many challenges. That's a clear sign your refs suck.

Blazers also tossed aside Josh Hart when they tried winning around Lillard lol.


He was a really bad fit on that Blazers roster. New York is the ideal situation for him and you’re seeing the best version of Josh Hart right now. This Josh Hart was never gonna happen in Portland.


Amazing how playing with a bunch of other really good players instead of Portland's roster makes a guy better.

Question for the class: These teams standing in the west came down to the last night, where Minnesota lost to Phoenix. Hence Denver has home-court by the slimmest of margins. If this series started in Minnesota and was coming back to Denver, would it make any difference? I feel like Minnesota coming out 2-0 going back to Minnesota is more demoralizing than if the series was coming back to Denver 2-0.

2 of those 57 were worth 2 wins though. Not all baskets are valued the same.
