Good God the officials in this Spurs-Pels game are atrocious. So, so bad.

Picking 2025 Russell Westbrook to be THE GUY for your car commercial is a choice.

I mean what do people expect? They gutted that roster to avoid reset the tax.

I don't think anyone needs to be convinced that Tatum, Porzingis, Holiday and Horford is a pretty good core of players.

What's going on with the Grizz? Are they depleted or what?

The Boston vs Knicks game is going as expected - Knicks are a top 3 team in the East and we gutted our roster, plus Tatum injury obviously.

Expecting the Knicks in the ECF and would be disappointed (if I was a Knicks fan) if they don’t make it

Yes. No Edey, no Pippen, no Clarke, no Jerome, no Vince Williams.

Yup...But if you replace Brown with Tatum, they'd be a lot better.

I am not a big fan of Kornet, and Porzingis didn't do much last year. Even without them but with Tatum healthy imo they would have been a 50+ win team.
I think there are a lot of people out there who see Jaylen as the true #1, and there was also an expectation for Pritchard to make yet another leap forward, and become a Celtic version of Reaves. I don't see either happening.

They hold Wemby's jersey. Silence.

Zion runs into Wemby. Whistle.

I mean, I guess that's one way to keep it close...

31/20/7 on 14 shots for Giannis. Doesn't get enough respect these days I feel like

Of course the refs miss a blatant kickball there and instead award Zion with 2 free throws to end the half. One of the most poorly officiated games I've seen in a very long time, with every call is going in favor of the Pelicans.

Giannis with the cool 31/20/7 on 80% TS on the road against Toronto. Good win without KPJ, who looked awesome before his injury in game 1. Just gotta hold steady until he's back.
