Playoff Murray awoke for like 5 minutes. He's gone back to sleep now and we're seeing G-League Murray again.

You can’t impede an offensive player with an arm straight out in a clothesline position
Defensive foul. Easy call tbh

Dude Jokic wanted to be impeded. He was fishing the whole time and refs let it go until they had to call something. He was clamping down on Williams arms.

Not sure how that wasn't a foul for Caruso on that play.

Daignault's inexperience in the playoffs is showing a lot. OKC needs a PJ Tucker type because nobody has been beyond here before.

Or Giannis.


Not every NBA team can have this comfort to have P.J. Tucker on their roster though


To quote the great Zen Master:

"If it's in the cards man are we fortunate," said Jackson about Anthony remaining with the Knicks. "If it's not in the cards, man are we fortunate and we're going forward anyway."


Which, I feel, also applies to PJ Tucker.

Can't convince me that the Nuggets have a good roster overall. Their bench is absolutely abysmal and three of their starters are wildly inconsistent.

Mark D might get fired next year. This is a horrible coaching performance.

Watson scared me leaving his feet there. Sheesh.
