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

Don?t forget Zion going down at the end of their game too.

Zero contact like Giannis (who is also out)

[DevinHarriswillstart]

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

oh damn... that's an ACL gone for embiid... crap

EDIT - ok looks like he's back in - thank goodness.

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

Pretty meh first day of playoff ball. No real surprises.

[BPo001]

Pelicans should have won that game.

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...
