    Bronny can’t be any worse than JHS can he? At least he can jump.

    Just a joke.
    It’s a huge warning sign for me that he should have developed the ability to go left in high school. He neither is a standout at shooting or passing. He’s not ready for the NBA. He’s only going to be there because of his Dad.
    Maybe he can develop into a serviceable player- maybe even a poor man’s Desmond Bane, if he can learn how to shoot.

    Luka is getting the Lebron treatment with the contact fouls.

    As much fouling as OKC got away with, karma has them losing on foul shots.

    Dallas really impressed me this series. They have a pretty complete team.

    Minnesota last time played in WCF 20 years ago ,Denver last time won game 7 in a bubble which is not comparable to sold out game when suddenly you supposed to be next dynasty ,but media narrative that Denver is so f***ing experienced in games 7 lol
    All pressure on Denver.
    P.S Today is KG birthday (it's for conspiracy theory lol )

    :LLLLLebronlaughing:While the Timberwolves hold the record for fewest appearances, they also hold the record for the highest Game 7 win percentage in league history. Minnesota won its lone matchup, beating the Sacramento Kings in the 2004 second round, leading to the organization’s only Western Conference finals appearance.

    So much stats about nothing
    Home teams are 112-37 (.752) all-time in Game 7s during the NBA playoffs

    The stat for Wolves fans to cling to relates to how they started the series (on the road, mind you). The team that has won the first two games of a series, as the Timberwolves did earlier this month, goes on to wins the series 92.7% of the time.

    The team that won Game 6. Since 2004, the winner of Game 6 pulls out a victory in the final game of the series about 47% of the time.

    Pacers up 21 points and I don't think that injured Knicks has any comeback in them.And Indiana will be bigger threat to C Bags they especially without Porzingis

    C Bags road to the finals just keeps on getting easier and easier

    so either a completely banged up knicks team or a pacers team who would only be there because they beat the bucks without giannis/lillard and said banged up knicks team

    To be fair, the C Bags weren’t actively involved in getting all of these players injured.
    It’s just part of the game.
    Yeah, they have an easy path, but it’s never going to be the same difficult road to the Finals every season.
