I feel like Minny cuts this to 10 entering the 4th and the refs allow them to play defense again down the stretch.

So in one game they went from having to blow it up to being on a glide path to the title?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

There's that GOAT-level touch Jokic has. I've never seen anyone consistently hit shots from 5-10 feet like he does.

Ant pulling a Trae Young is shameful

Wish that call would be made more often throughout the NBA, Ant created the contact clearly, he should be called for the foul.

Edwards was really dumb to do that right there.

So tired of players foul farming instead of trying to actually hit a shot.

Absurd.

Unusual launch angle??

Who made up that crock? It should just be about if the defender has legal position
