    Harden and Gordon probably will brick a ton of shots next game .

    Warriors in 5 with KD and Iggy playing at this level .

    Don't get why Kerr didn't go 2 for 1 with a tie game and 38 seconds ( I think) remaining though

    Sixers may end Kawhi's TOR experiment early...

    Kawhi is just too good man, I want him as a Laker so bad. Watching him play though, I don’t know, he’s a more than willing passer, but he controls the ball a lot, he is THE man out there, I don’t know if he’d want to defer to LeBron because at this point he shouldn’t. He’s averaging 38 ppg through 4 games in this series, he gets whatever shot he wants, and his defense is great on top of it.

    why would anyone want to defer to someone who isn't as good as you are, and will take the ball out of your hands?

    I'd like to have him too, but I can't see him wanting to play with Lebron. The only positive is that Bron would take away some media spotlight on him if he doesn't want it.

    who is that announcer that called the Nuggets a fake playoff team?

    Wonder if he's changing his mind yet or not.

    Kawhi is just absurdly good. I'm not gonna lie, though. I feel like Philly just blew their chance in this series. They were garbage down the stretch, especially Embiid. Well, he was garbage all game really.

    I think Toronto found their mojo and will close the door on this one. Gotta hope the Bucks advance and can knock them out. Otherwise we might be kissing the Kawhi option goodbye. If he makes the Finals I doubt highly that he will leave. Of course a lot can happen between now and then. Maybe Philly magically recovers, but I'm not seeing it. They look like they failed to me tonight.

    Lebron would make it easier for him . I'm sure Kawhi is tired of playing with a PG who doesn't even try to break the opponent D down

    I still think GS is too much for Houston.

    Even with Curry playing like garbage, they still have THREE OTHER all-stars.

    Houston needs Gordon to play out of his mind to have a shot. I doubt he can do it for an entire series...if he has a brick party at home, they are done.

    i called them a fake 2 seed and stand by it. them, portland, utah, SA, okc, and the clips were all about equal, imo, in that they had no real shot at coming out of the conference. they squeaked by SA and might squeak by portland minus its center (which matters against jokic). meh. either houston or gs will dispatch them pretty easily.

    The New York Knicks are back in the championship mix heading into a summer that could shake up the NBA.

    The SuperBook at Westgate Las Vegas on Saturday opened the Knicks at 16-1 to win the 2020 NBA championship. New York is behind only the Milwaukee Bucks (9-2), Boston C Bags (7-1) and Philadelphia 76ers (10-1) in the Eastern Conference. Kevin Durant's pending free agency is the reason why.

    Vegas usually knows stuff, so kind of interesting.

    At one point we were one of the favorites to win the title according to Vegas. They're just capitalizing on sucker bets based on the hype of KD (and possibly Kyrie).
