Thank god for Lively and Gafford because otherwise teams could just beat us with zone for 48 most games.

Philly has Embiid, and it still killed them.
If it wasn't for Batum somehow making 6 threes, then they lose handily.

Jimmy Butler down for a while. Alex Caruso injured by his own teammate (Drummond)
What a start to the postseason

Is there any team more disappointing than the Kings? No way they should be losing this game.

Harrison Barnes letting you down. That's his MO.

Fox didn?t help with his 12-29 from the field (4-16 from 3).

Oh absolutely. And you won't find a bigger shouldn't have traded Haliburton for Sabonis than me.
But even with Fox and Barnes issues...Sabonis is actually their main one. He just kills them on defense. All those years on Indiana should've given Sacramento all they needed to know that he isn't the big man they needed.

always a joy to see Luka's son booker fall flat on his ass
Wolves with Towns back will be a tougher out
70 million dollar man Grayson Allen too - 4 points in 25 minutes.
Josh Green is a bargain compared to that lol

There is nothing good about it. He is barely 30% if that.

yeah didn't watch the 2nd half - just checked the box score and saw he was playing
i saw the initial injury though - looked like his knee buckled a bit.
i was surprised he was back out playing. thought for sure he tore his ACL

It?s kind of funny in a depressing way how hyped I was for nba playoffs. And every single game sucked except Knicks game and Pels game. Some really ugly basketball.
Refs helped OKC at the end with 3 soft calls going their way. Dort flop, another flop on a screen, and SGA phantom and-1.

Buddy Hield officially as bad as THJ. Maybe worse...

I was so relieved he didn?t choose Dallas. He absolutely sucks and brings nothing to the roster we don?t already have.

Sixers have 0 chance when Embiid can't play defense.

Harrison Wind
@HarrisonWind
It turns out the Lakers are not a typical 7-seed. Typically, the 7-seed is better

Forget defense, Sixers don?t have a shot when Embiid is simultaneously getting more FTs than the opposing team (21-19) and getting away with dirty plays that would get anyone else. Ejected

And it's gonna be another offseason where they think they'll get Kyrie.
When in reality, we have a better chance at getting Lebron.

Or not. Pacers up three with a FT. Miss the FT. They swap twos and Middleton ties it at the buzzer. OT

Double whoops.
Bucks didn't blow it at the end of the 4th. They blew it in OT.
1-2

I think the Suns team is the beginning of the end of the superteam era. You need balance, versatility, and defense more than having 3 stars.
You look at the starting lineup and wonder who is going to play D? Who is going to make the hustle plays?

This Suns "superteam" is also the very weakest definition of such... Durant is still very good but he's 35. Booker is an all star but has not shown himself to be a superstar by any means. Beal... uh, pretty good, an all star, but not superstar material.
Granted they could shuffle things a bit and retool and give it another run next year but yeah even in year 1 they don't look like they've got what it takes.

I was high on Nick Nurse til this game. The guy couldn't draw up a single decent offensive play in 4 minutes of basketball at the end of the game. Horrible.

KP injured (again). He was questionable w a calf injury and looks like he aggravated it. Walked off the court immediately to the locker room.

Wild that of all the teams still in the playoffs as of an hour or so ago, Mavs are a part of almost all
Rick coaching the Pacers
Brunson might be heading to game 7 against Philly
Mavs trying for 6
