Yeah, that's the reason :roll:


Did you see yesterday's game in MSG? It was not good.


If the NBA thought they could get ratings in the afternoon, they would play more afternoon games, it has nothing to do with how much rest the players would get.

I mean SGA’s automatic mid range was what we saw, in addition to everyone missing threes. Stay negative.

He's definitely struggled at times, but he's also the only player in the playoffs regularly getting triple-teamed.


Fair enough. I think that load he had to carry during the regular season has come back to bite him hard

Denver needs 4 3 pointers to equalize which currently looks impossible
