is Giannis actually hurt? He played til the end in their most recent game vs the Hornets 3 games ago..

The NBA regular season has turned into a joke with all these players randomly popping up on injury reports for seemingly no good reason

Dame going crazy, full hero ball, but only up 15, doubt this is sustainable.

Giannis is the last dude on earth you ever have to question this about. Yes, he's hurt

Horrific pass in the PnR by Sheppard. Bet he'd like to have that back. Very unlike him.

I'm worried Tari Eason read our thread and started to play outside himself. Started in the last game (POR) and may have extended to this one. Completely unnecessary, as he's already our third-best player (imo) just by being himself. He doesn't need to force anything or press or stress. He's already good. Just needs to play hard and take what comes to him.

MIN went on an 11-0 run when HOU went full bench.

I don't get the point of the Cup Tournament if these games are not going to be nationally broadcast. This Rockets-Wolves game is a very good Cup game, too good to not be televised right now.

Wizards just shot 19 FTs in the 3rd quarter while the Bulls had zero and the Bulls still won the quarter, lmao.

Hopefully, the Heat's 23-5 FT disparity isn't sustainable.

Hoping the Bucks hold on and win.

I am not a Doc Rivers stan but honestly he is a much better coach and manager of egos than many people give him credit.

In hindsight, no other iconic legendary coach like Red, Phil-Jax or Pop could coach an unstable man-baby like Embiid to a chip.

Bucks will probably be a top 4 seed in the East even with an old, flawed roster. Doc deserves some credit i feel

EXTREMELY uncharacteristic bad pass from VanVleet.

Houston's defense is a vibe killer, for sure.
