The only thing I have a hate relationship is that Monty & Mike are not wearing suits.

Biyombo has always been strong, Hubie Brown has no idea who he is or what he's talking about

I hate when Gordon drives it because he doesn't have good feel and it feels like he's going to miss easy stuff around the rim.

I'd limit Biyombo's minutes. There's absolutely no interior presence defensively right now for the Suns. Jokic is just running right up to the rim.

On the contrary, every bounce feels like a caress. Love that touch.

Someone help KD. He needs Steph Curry so he can take wide open shots and look good.

Kd has to have one of the lowest basketball Iqs ever for an alltime great. Jumper isnt falling and he refuses to attack the rim when paint defense is a weakness for Denver and hes gotten calls and inside anytime he wanted. Just a really stupid player.

Biyombo is a good 3rd big to have. I don't know what year it was but I remember him having a really good play off series for some team once.

He's right. Have you ever heard of a player sitting out an elimination PO game due to a rib bruise? It's pathetic.

I mean I can't speak to what a rib bruise feels like or what another person's pain tolerance is, but yeah it would have been good to at least give it a try. I guess Ayton really truly absolutely can't. But given the long standing issues between him and the coach/FO, I wonder if he wonders whether he should risk making it worse...

poll the nba players - which player would you want to play with the most

if the answer isn't jokic, i'd be shocked.

Correct, my friend, he grabbed around 20 rebounds as a Raptor against LeBron and the Cavs

Time to rack up fouls on Biyombo now and Denver didn't throw it in

that was for Toronto, he's a good defender who is very limited offensively, will always be ready and with energy.
