    Now the Jazz are going to be upset by the 9th seed, right? ;)

    The Knicks also lost.

    when's memphis going to stop playing jaren jackson? he's an anchor for them right now, imo. i know he was a high pick and has been super hyped as a stretch big who can defend all over--and maybe one day that happens--but right now, he does basically nothing well on the basketball court except look the part. tillman outplays him, and i think clarke would, too, if he were back in their rotation.

    and man, if mitchell's injury is that problematic, the clippers are going to waltz to the wcf.

    also noteworthy to me yesterday: trae young gets some calls, man. those FTs he got to tie it were junk, imo, and the refs upheld the call after review, meaning they're just complicit. you don't think doncic, lebron, and kawhi get hit harder than that on basically every single drive? i'm sorry he weighs 165lbs, but that's his problem. if i were a knicks fan, i'd be annoyed. i know he hit a tough one for the game-winner, but he shouldn't have gotten the opportunity, imo.

    highly doubt it. zinger's more injury prone than the clips guys, and the mavs won't shoot threes like that 4 times, imo.

    I said the Nuggets would win last year, and they did. It's the Clippers, man.

    Trae Young is the new Harden , knows how to exploit the rules and the league sure does not mind adding another star .

    Can't defend perimeter players anymore , I would eliminate all these fouls where the offensive player clearly initiate the contact and doesn't look to score but NBA wants as many pts as possible on the board .

    Refs of Game 2 of Nuggets-Blazers put on an absolute show in the 3rd quarter and gave 2 comical flagrant fouls to Melo and CJ in this game

    This Nets team. We had parity in the league again, all these 2 star teams, it was good, it was fun. Now we have these soft a** fools teaming up and having 30 point blowout games, lame as hell. I’d be more annoyed if it weren’t the C Bags.

    I was keeping up with the game online while I watched the Lakers. I have to admit feeling joyful knowing they were losing. Paul George and Kawhi had good games but they only had one other guy produce.

    Dang, those two game were in LA too. Now they go to Dallas. Clippers are scrood!!

    Has to be demoralizing to the C Bags. I am dreaming of Tatum bailing out and coming to the Lakers.

    definitely. wade and ginobili really elevated it to art, then harden infused with black magic or something. it's obvious when a guy isn't actually trying to score or make a play other than "get fouled". i'd live with the ref's discretion on those, and once a few don't get called, people will stop doing it, as it has no upside.

    i don't understand how they're suddenly good on defense with irving, harden, and blake griffin playing big minutes. it's troubling.

    well, they have a coach destined for the hof. he'll figure it out.

    I know Philly fans are something else, but this can't happen. Should be a lifetime ban.


    Good thing 6-7 people were in the tunnel with Russ. If he was just walking through the tunnel by himself, he's going in the stands after this guy.

    You better believe Westbrook 1v1 would put a triple double beating on the a** of anybody dumb enough and low enough to treat him like a movie theatre seat.

    Being coated in popcorn is not acceptable. No wonder Westbrook was so SALTY. Almost Malice in the Palace but lone wolf style.

    I had a hunch when people were dissing Memphis against Utah and expecting a sweep since GS was out that it wouldn't be that easy.
