Adelman showing he's a rookie coach because thats not worth a challenge but he doesnt want to dismiss Jokic's request.

Surprises me what some of these coaches decide to challenge. Is the outcome of this exact possession really worth it?

Playoff Harden is truly a fasicnating player to watch. One game, he looks like a pick-and-roll maestro. Other games, he looks like he is losing his motor functions in real-time on the court and starts flailing all over the place. His inconsistency is incredible for a player of his talent level.

Non-shooting shoulder. Look at how his left arm is dragging. He doesn't even look like he can move it above his head. He must have gotten a steroid shot before the game.

With how close the games had been, not having WB to miss about 4 layups and turn over the ball about 5 times, that's huge for Nuggets. Murray needs to be better about his shot selections this half, though. MPJ is hitting them so far.

No points at stake and it is just the difference of possession and a jump ball. No worth it
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Good challenge, imo.

The NBA continuation rule is already too generous. The idea it should be expanded is absurd.
