Did Giannis really just peak in 2022 and that's that? Been looking all types of regular since then.

The best quarter of the season for the Rockets. They have completely shut the water off for San Antonio.

Bucks had their shot.

Celtics won't score less than 60 this half imo.

Celtics win this one.

Jokic in the first half: 16 pts, 7/8 fg, 2/2 3P, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks and the Nuggets down 8 to the Raptors at the half.

Could be a long year in Denver if they don't figure something out.

Yeah it's probably time to stop talking about him as a top 3-5 player. He's not there as he's playing now.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Happy for Jordan Poole. He finished the last half of the season on an upward trend a year ago and has started this season pretty well. Shooting the lights out and has a 2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio on a bad team.

Celtics yuck! Every player not named Pritchard was terrible in that half so I guess I'll take the 3 point deficit lol.

Over/under 10 fights this year for Houston with opposing teams? I'm taking the over.

Paolo got in foul trouble & stopped scoring. Franz is out for the rest of the game.

Dillon Brooks forces old man Chris Paul to just throw the ball out of bounds.

PJ Washington needs to be able to hit an open corner three.
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

With Julius in the West and Giannis not looking like Giannis, Paolo is staking his claim to be the best PF in the conference 8-)

Udoka is going to have to find a backup point guard for FVV. He can't play all the minutes. Someone else has to spell him. The Rockets D is great, but that offense goes right into the tank as soon as he sits.
