defense translates to playoff success but having to rely on your stud rookie for your scoring load will probably backfire.

yeah i wldnt bet on them but still pretty nuts what theyve done especially considering where they were and that their #1 scorer is a rook

the pacers being a top 4 seed in the east is prob the single most unforeseen development of the season since ppl thought they might be like a bottom 5 team. but considering the competition in the west the jazz rising to the top of that pile of teams might be even crazier.

dipo turning into a superstar overnight is one of the biggest nba surprises in a while

it looked like that was gonna be myles turners team and they were like 3 years from him being a truly impactful player. and we all poo-pooed the mcmillan thing too. looked like a disaster in the making.

last couple games I've seen him in he has looked pretty bad. tired? love the style of his game tho
xp

The Pelicans are playing five road games in six days, brutal

dipo's cooled off substantially since the ASB

yeah, turner has heated up tho

#NEBHInjuryReport: Kyrie Irving will seek a second opinion on his sore left knee and may not travel with the team for the upcoming road trip.

the juking for seeding in the bottom half of the east is gonna get really interesting

right now you definitely want the 5th seed, really don't want the 6th seed, might want the 7th seed if kyrie is hurt, and prob wouldn't hate the 8th seed in your heart of hearts

like the heat are in 7th right now and they'd be justified in pushing for the 5th seed but also risk getting 6th and an auto elimination in the first round

they'd also justified in essentially tanking for the rest of the season and taking whichever of the bottom two seeds they end up with

Dominique just called Gobert 'Rudy Bear'

russ just hit jayson tatum in the junk, tatum to bench.

blazers rockets tonight yall

I’m game

wow total heist by the celtics

nice

Stephen A.: No excuses for Cavs not to win Finals.

To me that's preposterous

things of that nature

aminu bombs away

love nate rob and all but not sure he has the stuff for in-game broadcasting

i do like Bones, though.

he's come a long way! totally passable play by play guy at this stage and really engaging as a dude who knows the game

for sure, he's pretty dry but I like his mild sense of humor

this is rude

has fish called a dubs game yet

hes not allowed to step foot oracle

jazz lost to the hawks at home

makes sense

schroeder dropped a 40 hammer on em

players just have no discipline when they get one on one v harden. cant stop them selves from reaching, swatting or just putting there hand out despite knowing what's coming.

dennis was embarrassing rubio

this game is good

I'm enjoying nate rob

cp3 heating up

Ha tried like 6 iso sidestep threes there during that stretch

yr boy's boys have lost one in a row

Dame not so hot.

yeah when dame and cj don't play so well and the team plays that competitively it's not so bad a loss really

in hell you play James Harden 1-on-1 and he calls his own fouls

the WC playoff picture looks like it might be solidifying a bit. what a disaster for the nuggets if they don't find a way in.

thanks tho as ppl have pointed out thibs somehow makes this all feel a lot less fun than it should be, even though we are playing generally insanely good (by timberwolves standards) basketball

that is interesting re harden starting position since i feel like ballhandlers have gotten so much more upright these days eg bron and russ

also coach nick pointed out crossovers are alligator arms style now where you execute the cross mostly with yr wrists and the arms stay in kinda a neutral position in contrast to the classic iverson style where yr arms go way out then come across w the ball
