I'm waiting for DLo to take over and hit some clutch shots, but my goodness he's been terrible for most of this series. Maybe 1 game he played "ok"

MN should have won this series already. They should have won 4-1.. but they consistently can't keep a 15-20+ point lead

They should have. They have straight up outplayed us in 4 games. We've had a terrible shooting series but the TWolves just give games away with turnovers and bad shots once they get the lead. Another reason why we're up right now is that for multiple games Pat Bev and Ant are the only players on that team playing with urgency. Dlo is baffling. I audibly gasped when he took that horrible shot at the end that didn't touch rim. I couldn't believe we got that lucky and he's just played terribly

Ja Morant is Rose all over again, you love to see it.

Ja is great but he's way more reliant on the refs than Rose.

Disclaimer: I didn't watch prime Rose that much (poor college student with limited viewing opportunities)

I think the top players today all rely on refs quite a bit more than the top players during the time Rose was ascendant. One of my least favorite shifts in recent years.

After my Jazz get eliminated tomorrow (going for the reverse jinx) I'm planning to be a bandwagon Grizz fan.

what would happen if ben simmons committed suicide? ded fkn srs. would sports analyst clowns like stephen a be out of a job?

Not as stupid as LeBron telling all the world to keep the same energy about his team when the real season begins.

Then sitting at home when the real season begins.

Not as stupid as that.

EDIT: GOTTTT HIMMMMMMMM hahahaha that one particularly hurt you did it Jay****. Imagine how much it hurt LeBron to miss the playoffs AGAIN in the West.

Lebron must have just absolutely blasted your mother and girlfriend and/or boyfriend dude holy fukk at the salt lol

[Orlando1234977]

60-42 at half nice try chi go

The fact you can't even recognise the mocking tone in my posts regarding Lebron, and the fact they're made to sh*t on Jay**** and have nothing to do with LeBron themselves, speaks more to your intellect than anything else. Be better.

Warriors about to blow a 3-0 lead. Getting absolutely throttled inside, no big man to stop Jokic and Cousins.

not so fast. gp3 saved them though

[RiceBrah93]

I got Mavs vs GSW in the western finals and Phil vs Celtics in the Eastern finals

Who ya'll got?

gp3 saved em but man, that Warriors team is WAYYYY too small to contend this year. They got low-key exposed in this series. They need a legit Center in a bad way.

I feel like the Bucks out of any team could expose them pretty hard, even without Middleton. Maybe even Phoenix if Booker gets healthy.

Philly if Embiid is injured are going to have a rough time. They can barely get past Toronto. Whoever wins between Milwaukee and Boston is going to win the East.

agree. My pick is Boston, such a well rounded squad right now.

[ghostfacedup]

haven't watched much of the raptors/sixers series, but can't help but watch to see if Doc is going to melt down again.

This, lol @ the 76ers with all these upcoming players, star players and moves they made just to struggle against Toronto lmao

[WoofieNugget]

Embiid going off so far. But Raptors are shooting really well, might be a pretty close game.

this is a great game, very intense.

[sooby]

lmao @ the raptors, I knew those 2 wins were fools gold.

[sooby]

lmao @ proceeding to lose by 40 on homecourt, almost entirely in 2 quarters.

[ghostfacedup]

meh, they were undermanned.

[ghostfacedup]

Damn. It might actually finally be cp3's year. Hate the guy but he's earned it. Midrange God right now and no one can stop it.

[2010JW]

Jazz need to break up their boring ass team lol

We about to go next round, great great games coming up as well!!

Can't wait for Celtics vs Bucks

[WoofieNugget]

meh, they were undermanned.

Sixers went off in the second half. 60% from the floor, Toronto just didn't have any defense. Harden also had the game people have been waiting for.

Miami and Sixers should be a good series, but the Bucks/Celtics is going to be epic, at least I hope so.

[sooby]

meh, they were undermanned.

nah that's bs

no excuse for getting blown out in the 2nd half by 35+ after a competitive first half on their home court. They were playing better without FVV anyway.

[TBO1313]

The Pelicans fought hard but just couldn't overcome an all time game from Chris Paul. 33 points on 100/100/100 shooting is just nuts. I'm really interested to see what happens with the Jazz this offseason. Mitchell and Gobert apparently hate each other and the roster construction just doesn't work. Do they both get traded or if it's only one of them which one?

Jazz always used to prioritize consistency, but you don't bring Ainge on board for consistency. Reverse jinx failed, Jazz/Mavs was an entertaining game at least. The look Bogdonovic got at the end was about as good as you could hope for. Guess I'm a Grizzly fan now.

Jazz definitely need to go in a different direction. Gobert seemingly always disappears in big games unless he’s at the line bricking FTs.

Welcome aboard brother. Hopefully we can put the TWolves away tonight but they're a tough matchup for us, way worse than Golden State even though the Warriors are a much better team than the Twolves. Ja has to get going earlier in the game and someone besides Bane needs to hit some shots.
