Cleveland bench looks lousy, and they are choking in second half like last year’s playoffs.

Harden plays too slow, once 76er started to make a run, ball movements are completely gone. Every shot looked forced, missed some layups, can't hit a 3 and everyone got cold including Mitchell.

Also refs helped sixers a lot in the second half, but the Cavs are chokers

Brazile is already the Nuggets sixth man and Connelly passed him over for Evans, when he knew wolves were deep at guard and needed a young PF badly. WTF

Especially that review call on Harden. Embiid got caught with his hands in the cookie jar. I can't see that being an offensive foul

I guess Connelly already committed to Lyles

Brazile had 8 rebounds in the first quarter. I knew passing him up for Evans was ridiculous. Brazile was exactly what wolves were missing even if his offense sucks, Evan’s offense sucks also lol

OKC is playing Klomp's small lineup vs Jokic. JayW in the middle with SGA, Caruso, McCain and KW. It's only for a few minutes and I can't tell if it's effective but maybe a good change of pace for 3 minutes

The stars all stunk it up for Denver and OKC. I am loving it so much that Braun and Wallace will never live up to their big contracts :lol:

I hope OKC signs McCain to a big contract next.

Not possible! No team in NBA history has ever been constructed as small as the Minnesota Timberwolves are this year!

Well, OKC only did that for 3 mins. Most of the time, they got two bigs out there. Mara/JayWill, Holmgren/Hartenstein. Someone else could search the lineup stats to validate.

Besides, playing SGA at PF is not the best use of his time, it just broke his 20 pt scoring streak :lol:

Nets fans are already sick of Randle, to the surprise of nobody
