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.

The first 30sec is Harden sizing up in 2015....the 2nd half is him sizing up in 2018 pic.twitter.com/nXPXrAG5fO

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

yea more about rapid fire dribbling to keep the defender guessing

that video is kinda hypnotic

it's cool how low he gets now; when you can do your moves from that starting point it's so hard to defend.

nothing like hubie brown walking us through a replay of a player getting kicked in the balls

uh so lebron has 17 assists and 0 turnovers

wtf are the raps doing

bron's line from tonight is f'n nuts

the score of the game was very high

35-7-17 has to be one of the best zero turnover games ever

my v good personal friend dwight howard had 32 & 30 which seems like a lot

a reasonable about if im reading those numbers correctly

32 minutes and 30 seconds?

If there were no conference split, current matchups:

(1) Rockets vs. (16) Heat
(8)Pelicans vs. (9) Spurs

(4) Celtics vs. (13) Jazz
(5) Blazers vs. (12) Pacers

(2) Warriors vs. (15) Nuggets
(7) Thunder vs. (10) Sixers

(3) Raptors vs. (14) Wizards
(6) Cavaliers vs. (11) Wolves

i'd much rather watch the actual playoff matchups than this!

yeah that's not a super great argument in favor of it

35-7-17 has to be one of the best zero turnover games ever

Most assists w/o a TO since TOs became official stat. Straight maestroing out there.

I would watch the shit out of all those series tbh, but the argument in favor of 1-16 seeding is more that the best teams make the playoffs, not necessarily that it always improves match ups (tho in the long run this should be the case)

yeah... i still feel like as a viewer i don't really care if the 9th best team in the west gets screwed out of the playoffs, i'd rather see match ups that make sense and build rivalries

what does "make sense" mean

btw O_O
