Tatum +23

Tatum can be 1-1000 for all I care if we're winning his 40 minutes by +23
give me 11 more JT +23 games and I'll see you guys at the parade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want OKC for the challenge. I think we smoke every other team in the west.


I still think Denver is the monkey on the back and OKC will be next season. A pass the torch season if they keep the core together.


OKC has been collapsing in the 4th last 3 minutes in their losses. They could’ve realistically been 3-0. I still have OKC in 6. Same with Celtics

He was fine for 3 quarters. Not amazing or anything but good enough which is what the Celtics need but he really **** needs to convert some baskets in the 4th quarter to stop any bleeding which the Knicks might throw.

That's more like it
Despite mediocre play and the refs we won comfortably
Only need to play mediocre offense and we got it

JT good from 3 but shot selection isn't good and finishing around the basket is abysmal
PP and Al for VC
KP with good minutes on defense

I think Denver will take them out. Need to win game 4 though. I thought they had a possibility of knocking out OKC.

And1 because we should never talk about any other games. Might as well close that thread now. I clarified that I didn’t mean in case we’re face them. I didn’t ask about the East for that exact reason.

Great response blowing the doors off the Knicks. Can we repeat that game 4 who knows, one thing is for sure they will have to feel good going into GM4 after that, but not rocky because NY will fight back hard.

I still think okc may win. I actually don’t know who I’d want out of the two because I like both. Okc because they are young and Denver because of Jokic.

I used to really like Ant until he talked ish about Tatum but honestly, I still want them to win.

At least OKC is losing to a championship caliber team, not the NeW yOrK nIx

I think this series should be 3-0 rn. I legit don’t think Denver is better than OKC. I expect Shai to come back with a vengeance.

Is Porzingis even halfway healthy? I feel like he's barely a factor out there sometimes and he's not playing a whole lot. I guess stashing him for the ECF and Finals?
