Every team that’s balling has a good PG.

Refs are letting OKC get away with a lot of contact on Defense. If they start giving SGA whistles on air touches it’s gonna make me hate SGA. He’s too skilled to need that kind of help from officials.

Yeah but when you’ve got Richard Jefferson pointing out on every replay of a Minny offensive move that “OKC got away with a foul there….” and the box score has 1FT for Minnesota all half vs 10 for OKC I call BS. Ant and Randle have been getting beat up.

Caruso had his arms around Jokic the whole game 7.

Ant getting a plain as day clean block on Dort and the refs blow the whistle. Any Minnesota player gets hacked or bodied going to the rim and the refs swallow their whistles.

This kind of discrepancy frustrates me beyond belief.

Watched the Pacers Knicks game last night. Damn, Towns was so lost on defense that wasn't even funny. The guy seriously had no clue were either the ball or his man was 90% of the time.
Pacers just have so many good low turnover passers. Siakam is as good of a passer as Paolo but is used as the 3rd or 4th playmaker.

lol at all the nonsense Nuggets are doing.
Hiring coach without interviewing anybody else

Who hired him? interim head coach promoted to main coach by interim GM ?

Jokić can't get out of there fast enough.

Some curious decisions by Thibs having Robinson out there so long and Towns in the bench. NY looks shook and lost. McConnell really sliced NY in the 4th.

Food for thought that maybe the magic aren't that far off.
