April 22, 20232 yr It’s increible how bad Harden is at finishing now. He can still cook people on the regular but he just is bad at the cup.
April 22, 20232 yr Much needed rest for Philly. Disposed of the Nets quickly. I assume Denver will do this in game 4 to get some rest. Not going to want to extend it any further than needed.
April 22, 20232 yr Author Yeah that's big. Nets aren't very good and don't have a "guy" but with the minutes that Harden and Embiid missed that's a damn impressive sweep. Just ask MIL or BOS.
April 22, 20232 yr Author Phoenix looks like they should run this team out of the gym today. Can't wait to see they do to make sure it's a game with 3 minutes left.

He could finish if he retained himself to finish instead of flop.

April 22, 20232 yr Author Both of these teams are tired. I don't understand the 36 hour turnaround to play a 4th game in 7 days. Edited April 22, 20232 yr by ztejas
April 22, 20232 yr Author Chris Paul should get a statue for taking that 2020 Phoenix team to the Finals. I had never rated Monty Williams as a serious HC before that and the more they distance from that run the more it's clear that he's a painfully below average HC. Lue is repeatedly eating his lunch in this series.
April 22, 20232 yr Author Also - this Westbrook Renaissance is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. He's playing better than he has in 6 seasons. I'm trying to think of anything like this - especially in the playoffs.

Even though I'm obviously cheering for Phoenix some of those Wesbtrook plays to keep it close were making me smile. Made me feel like a younger version of myself.

Made me feel like a younger version of myself. Westbrook has always played balls to the wall for better or worse. When he’s hitting his shots (rare), he’s still a joy to watch.
April 22, 20232 yr No Giannis Kawhi with no timetable to return MVP 50/50 at best for start of 2nd round This is not what I have been looking forward to for months. Also load management must not work.

April 22, 20232 yr Author Just did it again. Pretty sure I had a post about them being the best scoring duo since Shaq/Kobe a couple nights ago.
April 22, 20232 yr Gobert is one of the biggest oafs, given his massive playing time (not to mention contract), in NBA history. Worst hands in the NBA. What a disastrous trade for the Wolves and to think they bet the future on this guy.

April 23, 20232 yr I went to get a coffee down the street and MIL forgot how to score while I was gone.

The Jimmy Butler slander that's being thrown around us ridiculous. And seriously WTF happened to Westbrook? Did he get hypnotized into being an efficient two way player?
April 23, 20232 yr we're getting a glimpse at the player Russ could have been had he learned to accept his role 10+ years ago.
April 23, 20232 yr Butler to the locker room. Who would have thought that basketball is more dangerous than the Roman coliseum…
April 23, 20232 yr Bucks shitting the bed here. At least make it close enough to force Butler back onto the court for a few minutes.

They will lose the series (again- Russ has only won one series since 2016) and lock him in on a multi-year contract.

He is in the last year. He got traded and Utah bought out his remaining $13M. Then LA signed him on a minimum. He's made $47M this season. @statsman you're right that he's in a prove it season as he's an upcoming UFA. Edited April 23, 20232 yr by ztejas
April 23, 20232 yr Author Also why the fuck are the Lakers playing their game 3 after Phoenix/Clippers just played their game 4 in the same day earlier in the day? Is anyone else befuddled by this?
April 23, 20232 yr Author By far the funniest thing about this is that LA somehow managed to lose game 2 against these guys.
April 23, 20232 yr your franchise is screwed for at least 5 years, maybe 8. At least you have the Vikings.Shit changes year by year lol. And the wolves have 1 21 YO cornerstone and potentially a 22YO cornerstone player. They turned departing DLO into Conley, NAW and 3 2nd round picks We will see how it goes

April 23, 20232 yr Author Russell Westbrook is a better player than Ja Morant. It's 2023. Do you know where your kids are?
April 23, 20232 yr Lebron enjoys Brooks Dillon brooks backing up his talk so far0-4, 0-3 from 3, 0 points
April 23, 20232 yr If the Lakers could block out Memphis might never have made it to double digits. This is amazing!
