    brooks doesn't even bother me. guy tries way too hard to be the bad guy and is basically a 99 cent store version of draymond or pat bev. it's more cringey than anything

    The dude threw a behind the back pass in 4th quarter of game 7 in the NBA finals that went straight out of bounds. He's always been reckless but he makes up for it his ridiculous shooting most of the time. I

    Ant is that guy. Remind me again why they decided to assemble a twin towers to muck up everything for him?

    jokic missed a ft that would have ended it in regulation, right? see if that haunts denver. they've got a couple brittle key guys, and you want as few games as possible.

    He has to, otherwise they're not making it out of the first round.

    Doesn't seem like Lue has any idea what's going on with Kawhi though:

    D'Aaron Fox apparently fractured his left index at 4:35 of the 4th, when Looney attempted to swat Fox's floater in the lane. He grabbed his hand, then stayed in the game and was ready to take that last shot? GSW swarmed him and he dished to Barnes. He was really going to take that last shot with a fractured index on his main shooting hand? Decoy? Badass? Both?

    I really don't see how SAC can stay in the series with him out. He's been unreal for them. Damn. I wanted it to go 7.

    I watched DEN come back down 12 with 2:30 to go in the 4th to force OT. MIN was lucky to get a game. Antman has been en fuego, but the T-Wolves are dust.

    Joker hits both of those FTs very late, it's a storybook comeback win. But I hadn't realized that FTs are his weakness. Reminded me of a certain beloved player we all know very well,, dude with an eyebrow line that does on for 17 inches or whatever.

    Jesus. This blows not just for the Kings but basketball fans. I thought it was going or be Kings in seven. The Warriors suck balls on the roads and they barely beat the Kings at home

    Unfucking believable

    So what does this mean for us? I'm still pretty anxious about a series with GS. They're 33-8 at home, and they aren't gonna get rattled given their championship pedigree. I really didn't want to face them in the second round. For as good as SAC is (or was, with De'Aaron Fox), they are young and unproven.
