This NBA sucks. Yikes what a boring whistle fest.

Why the eff are the refs falling for every little BS flop by both teams? This is sooo much worse than the Houston/OKC game

Can we petition the league to force Smart into retirement?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Luka is such a bad ass he can get a decent shot whenever he wants. Not many players can do that consistently

Marcus Smart in mid-season form, flopping all over the place and into everyone's knees and ankles.

Luka is amazing but Curry is still ridiculously great even at his age. There’s just nothing you can do about him and that Horford addition is a stellar one because now they don’t need Draymond to be Mr. Everything for 35 + minutes

They should trade for Kuminga. He'd fit in great with those two.
