That was a clutch Bulls loss. They're not very good (Net rating of +0.4). I wouldn't be shocked if they start slipping in the standings some more.

Spurs look rattled, they need to calm down a bit before it starts to get away.

JV is better than Aldridge... Guy was playing over his head in Portland.

Don't think Festus tried to make a play for the ball there

Spurs are sloppy as hell right now. Lackadaisical with the ball and with their passes.

also liked how when Ezeli had an early mid-key seal, Draymond immediately makes the entry.

Spurs will be fine, Pops will say some words and they'll get back into this.

and lol at that not being a flagrant. Pretty blatant shove by Festus there.

So far the Warriors are the better offensive AND defensive team.

I don't think we can take the Warriors in the finals. Need to hope OKC makes it there somehow...

Aggressive ball denial on either side of the floor, immediately cut backdoor. Second nature.

After the dubs scored 20 or so in half a quarter, the game is 23-29 lol.

Bad cut by Simmons. Messed up spacing.

I cant watch anymore turnovers lol, seems as if both teams don't want to show their cards.

Warriors not looking that good tbh. Wouldn't be surprised to see SA win in the playoffs at all.
