Nice Morant game winner there though.

We need to be huge Jazz fans Thursday as well anything to give Book more time if we ultimately advance.

Annoys me how easy he makes it look...nobody makes game winners as easy as he does the way he gets past his primary defender, snakes through whatever help is along the way then jumps, contorts his body and finishes around the rim protector.

It should never be that easy but he makes it so

Zero chance the Jazz win w/o Mitchell (even as bad as he's been on defense)

NBA needs to change rules around Ja Morant to disallow any flashey moves within 10-15 feet of the basket. The league changed rules for Wilt, Shaq, etc now it's time for Morant rules. Like you've stated " it annoys you how easy he makes it look " why not take away his magic touch and make him a regular player similar to Bridges. I'll email Adam Silver and see what he replies on this urgent topic you have brought to our attention.

Hope Memphis can discover some of their peak form to challenge GSW, not a great sign they're struggling against Minnesota.

As we see with the Suns, it is all about matchups in NBA. Minny are not a good matchup to Memphis, for sure. I expect Ja and Co. to be in better shape against the Warriors.

I think it's kind of an experience things with young players in their first playoffs. Sure, Minnesota doesn't have much experience either but Towns has been around a while, as had Russell.

But Memphis is resilient too and don't seem to get rattled when they are down.

I won't be surprised if the Warriors rolls through the West given their experience and shooting. Unless we get our shooting back almost across the board, I really can't see us beating them. I think we can keep it close, and CAN beat them but they will be FAR tougher than anyone we faced last year. Probably even the Bucks. Just because they will hit so many 3s and play tough defense too when Green is there. Heck, they have Curry playing 6th man right now.

This has to be one of the funniest things I've seen on TNT.

I love you so much!!! Was looking for this video on YouTube to show a buddy but couldn't find it. Saw it last night after Suns game on TNT and cracked up for a good few minutes.

That specific play ANT gambled for the steal and that gave Ja the room he needed. I love ANT but that was a horrible awful decision.

Amazing that one of the Bucks/Celtics will be eliminated in round 2.
One of Miami/Philly (or Toronto but unlikely) will be in the ECF

Hope they don't rush us into a Sunday game 1 if both series end in 6.

That would still be 2 days off. I think it would likely start Sunday.

One of Grizzlies/Warriors won't make it past the second round. Although, it doesn't hit quite as hard as the EC counterparts

Brutal for Milwaukee. East has a shot to knock them out.

Thank god the Suns never made a stab at acquiring Aaron Gordon. He looked mediocre overall last year in the Suns series and again this playoffs. Doesn't seem like the sharpest basketball player.

he jacked up so many terrible shots last night. I mean, nobody was making shots in the fourth quarter for the nuggets but the lack of ball movement didn't help

Who are you pulling for in finals?
