You guys know that was a travel from Booker right?

Look at where his pivot foot is when he picked up his dribble - compared to where it is when he is spinning...

(ps, his pivot foot is the one with the white compression stuff on it)

Watching other teams play defense, I notice all the little things that our team does.

Why wasn't his hand up to disrupt the shot, why didn't they close out, should've taken that charge etc.
My challenge to the Vaccine truthers, make a prediction and sig it.
Mine: In 2023, rates of heart attacks & strokes amongst vaccinated people, never infected with COVID will be similar (+-5%) when compared to people of same age in 2018.

I hope the top 4 east
1) Bucks 2) Raps 3) Celts 4) Heat

Think we match up better vs Celts (than Heat) and think Heat matchup better with Bucks (than Celts)

Yep, exactly this.

Plus, I'd rather the heat tire out the bucks in 2nd round. Their defense ans rotations are elite like ours.

Reggie Miller is so horrible. The worst.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
