Odd sentence, but Jamal Murray's effort has been more impressive than his shot making.

This game is awesome. Really wish every 'the NBA is washed,' 'no one plays defense' and 'mindless 3 pt chuckfest' complainer on the GB would tune in and just enjoy two good teams with some great players playing a variety of modern styles and just competing their a's off. Not saying we're in a golden age but there's a lot to appreciate.

I think 3 and 6 are also make for pretty intense series.

Aside from Houston this year, generally speaking the top 2 seeds in each conference is a cut above the remaining seeds, with not all that much separating seeds 3 - 6


Ah yes, I remember the classic 3-6 series, when the 6 seed Clippers had home court :lol:

Wht is this twilight zone ish?


He's been screaming at teammates at a level I've actually never seen from a player before. Blatantly screaming at them all game, all year.

Somehow nobody calls him out about it.

Since my team is not even in the playoffs, Westbrook winning it all is my biggest hope for these playoffs. Him succeeding gives me hope for humanity in its future battle against its AI powered robotic overloads.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

The Westbrook experience is like getting a steak dinner at a restaurant for you and a date, one will be nice buttery and delicious the other is well done with ketchup

Russ is shooting 40% on corner 3s, so maybe leaving him open isn't good.

Even with 3 officials on the court now instead of two, they still get it wrong.

You can't leave Kawhi wide open like that.
