Jokic not being able to score on Caruso is seared in my brain

OKC is very dangerous and just looks all-round better than the Wolves....I'd rather not face them with the type of whistle we get when Silver is cooking in DraftKings mode ......

I think Minny is more of a difficult opponent for OKC than Denver is, and the Nuggs were one game away from eliminating them. And I would actually be happy for Randle if he won a ring.

You do realize the Knicks are going to be in the finals right?

Yeah, and I believe that the Knicks can beat Minnesota, but even if they lost to them I wouldn't feel that disappointment because former Knicks would be getting their rings.

Im an unabashed starpucker but im gonna go on record and say hard pass on giannis.

His game is not going to age well and I dont think he compliments Brunson well. Let him go out west or rot with the nyets. We're good.

Look ....
There are very few I would trade for the top 4 of this team but if Giannis somehow tried to push his way here, I am trading KAT and McBrides matching salary in a sec. Its Giannis and he is an absolutely elite 2 way big who can guard 2-5 on switches. It would make our switch defense elite.

Defense yes but what about spacing?

but he really do be playing through **** tho. some of the injuries are just going to bother him his whole career most likely. but some of the other **** feels like he got a black cloud following him.

i respect that he doesn't pack it up, even with a title under his belt already.

OKC is looking scary, they have to be favorites to win it all now

i think 90%+ of the league gives this answer, to be fair.

An OKC vs Indy finals would be a ratings disaster.

With Denver out, I'm 100% all in with NY.

They look scary because Denver can't hit a 3 to save themselves. I don't credit these missed 3's to OKC's defense. 7/33 is putrid.
