The TWolves shot 50% from behind the arc.

And how did the Wolves manage that?  Credit the Lakers defense.

0 of the Wolves three point attempts had a defensive player within 4 feet of them. 27 attempts did not have a defender within 6 feet of them

Sure, I get that. But you can't fix lazy, atrocious defense in a hotel lobby.

Why are there 3 days off between games when no travel is involved?  Stupid.

Yep. Called it during the game.

I like how they are acting like Minny is having some crazy, unsubstantiated night from 3.

LA isn't defending fucking anything. All of these looks are in rhythm without disruption. 

They obviously won the Luka trade but I wasn't sold on them this season because I thought their perimeter D and rim protection was going to be ass. It's looking like it here.

Biggest home playoff loss for LA since 2013 when they got swept in the first round by the Spurs. 

Minny we'll give you Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes and 2 protected firsts for him.

Not when it’s the home team that gets its doors absolutely blown off.

I've seen too much shit to declare them dead, as much as I'd like to.

 

Also get ready for all the shouty shows to focus on this series instead of talking about the games that were close.

Because you lose the early afternoon TV windows during the week. So you can get in 4 games on a Saturday and 4 on a Sunday, but only 2 on Monday and 3 on Tuesday (with NBATV). So some teams get extra days off

Oh for sure. It’s gonna take up 97 percent of the coverage. 

Speaking of doors getting blown off - I'm gonna be shocked if Memphis keeps this within 20. 

Getting punked in 4 games is a pretty fitting end to Memphis's season.

I wanted to say "within 30" but thought that was too much. Should have gone with my gut.

I think Brent Barry, in a playoff game 20 years ago, edged out Kuzma.

Bones would hit some clutch shots for his spurs run

And SGA is just 1-6.

I'll stick with my prediction that OKC loses no more than three games on their way to the FInals.

After the way LAC played yesterday I don't see the 4/5 taking more than a game off of them.

Minny looks like their only threat (granted it's very early - we'll see what develops). 

OKC/Cavs Finals would be very fun.

I don't know about 3 games, but I doubt anyone gives them much opposition. Too much talented depth. Setting the all time point differential record for a season wasn't an accident. 

Thanks for the 2016 WCF reminder, ESPN. I was having such a nice morning. 

Every time I’ve tuned into a Thunder game this year they’ve been up 15 or more. I know Memphis isn’t that good but this is crazy impressive to start the playoffs.

I'll be pleasantly surprised, maybe shocked, if the Cavs make it.  They've been playing too mediocre-ly over the past 6 weeks for me to feel confident.

If/when the Cavs lose in the playoffs, it'll be because one or both of the two issues that have reared their ugly head for the Cavs over this period:

3 point shooting (particularly from Garland/Mitchell)

Defensive rebounding

It's going to hinge on Shai, imo. If he matches what a Jokic or Ant or Tatum gives him you can schedule the parade now. 

But I'm not sure he does that. Still a pretty inexperienced star. 

Granted, they don't necessarily need him to do that.

I'm not leaning Cavs right now, either - just saying it would be a fun matchup. 

Think the East is sneaky deep. Whoever wins the 3/6 and 4/5s aren't going to be pushovers.

That's a borderline flagrant from Ja. 

I'd be careful. He may come air this bitch out after half. 

It's just disgusting that OKC (68 win team) has this kind of draft capital for the rest of the decade:

2025:

  • Oklahoma City first-round pick

  • Philadelphia top-six protected first-round pick

  • Atlanta top 31-40 protected second-round pick

2028:

Spurs were total morons (and made a ton of bad decisions after) for letting Presti go. 

Does anybody actually enjoy listening to Perkins mushmouth his way around an NBA broadcast? How the fuck does he keep his job?

Doubled up in the 3Q in a playoff game is disgusting. 

That was a flagrant 1 but they aren't even going to look at it with OKC up 44. 

Is this a pre-season "paid" game? Grizzlies are being treated like little kids.

Memphis has some tough choices to make this offseason.

JJJ is eligible for an extension this offseason, which would put Memphis way over the cap for the next several years.  If he wins DPOY, that extension would be 5 years, $345 million.

But what is the ceiling for a Morant-Bane-JJJ led team?

Morant's game (which relies so much on his athleticism) is also not likely to age very well.
