Crazy how cyclical this league is. Now all of a sudden, you might need two competent mobile bigs out there to be successful. Feels like the Gasol and Odom or Andrew Bynum era right now but with more 3's :lol:

I wish the NBA didn't allow timeouts when you're lying on the court. It seems absurd to me that you can get a timeout in that situation.

What's Draymond's problem? Rockets are outworking the Dubs, case closed 8-)

Irrational hate. How many #1 options can get their own shot off against a double or triple-team?

They won’t stand a chance against the Wolves. If they make it that far

That’s a foul on Jimmy for locking his arm but oh well

Also, I have several drunk uncles, so I’ll need more specifics.

Would be funny if it turned out Jimmy forced himself out of Miami only to get bounced in the first round like Miami did.

We need to understand how one gets touch. Like..How is Jokic touch so greek godish and Senguns is so blue collar working in the cole mines i cant feel my hands anymore type?

Warriors offense is comprised of cutting and Curry going nuclear. That can be neutralized over the course of a series.

You're a raps fan. You know how FVV is. He was a no show in 1st 3 games of the series!

Refs too blind to call a blatant grab and reach in. but will call a foul with no one within 2 feet of butler shooting.
