One of the Pods I listened to said he’s in the top 3 talk and I burst out laughing. Did Thanos snap the NBA players away? He’s not even top 3 in the West. He’s definitely on the right path, but it’s hard to beat out surefire HOF’s in Kawhi, LeBron, AD though lol.

I’m sure people will look at the teams and box score and say this game was full of amazing defense, but to be honest both of these teams are just playing sloppy as hell. There’s been plenty of nice looks that haven’t gone down and some of the sloppiest turnovers you’ll ever see. Really strange game

The Clippers run a lot of ISO and some PnR at the top of the key. Their off ball movement is really bad.

The Celtics are looking more at ease with the pace of the game and run sets better.

That non-charge call on Kawhi was **** absurd.

There's been like 3 plays in the last couple minutes that would've been offensive fouls on Giannis 100 out of 100 times.

Tatum clearly traveled when he hit the 3 at the end of the game.

Why is Smart shooting so much? I really don’t get the love the guy gets. People overrate energy guys.

He is shooting 37.2% from 3 on 7.2 attempts per game. Why would he stop shooting?

If there's an NBA game in which the officiating is a total mess, you can bet your last dollar Marc Davis is invloved.

I'm not trading the best player on the planet for the 4th or 5th best player on the planet.


Do you think Luka could claim that title in the next 2-4 years?
Do you think Giannis starts regressing in his mid 20's?

Calling Smart and energy guy is such an insult.

The defensive play to give the Celtics the ball down 3 was incredible. Very few in the league can do what he consistently does.

People like to forget just how good the competition is when talking about "top 5".

(Case in point I wouldn't put AD all that close to the top 5 if it weren't for injuries to KD and Steph)

I'm not gonna laugh at the claim when dude just had 22/5/5 in a QUARTER. I don't care who you play, that's insanity. If he's not there yet he's approaching it quickly.

It was against the G-Leauge version of the Warriors; still amazing.

Klay Thompson scored 37 points in a quarter and nobody anointed him to a top 5 player.

Damn good player but top 5 is just a different level

Yeah once he's averaging like 30/10/10 on insane efficiency we can start talking.
