OKC shooting under 30% from 3 and DEN shooting over 40% from 3 is the reason why this game is even close

Honestly they should close with Watson instead of Braun. Don't think it'll happen though but they need his defensive intensity down the stretch. Just don't let him shoot.

Chet Holmgren is way too light in the cakes to be effective inside on offense.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Double Double watch for Jokic

10 missed threes
10 turnovers

Both on the table - which will he hit first?

He's been a liability on offense.

Jalen Williams looks more like Scottie Pippen's son than Scottie Pippen's actual son does.

I swear people hate basketball. They just watch to **** on play x when they have a bad game. Then when player x has a good game they are nowhere to be found. It’s pathetic.


Relax man. He's my favourite player to watch in the league. It's okay to call him out on a bad performance.

It's late and all, but Jalen Williams's face reminds me of Viola Davis.

Modern NBA. Somebody’s telling today’s players to keep shooting “cause eventually they’ll fall” lol. Even Giannis keeps shooting 3’s if he bricking them.
