    Denver Nuggets (2) vs Minnesota Timberwolves (3) - 2024 WC Second Round

    Blaming Malone for not getting Jokić rest when up 20 doesn’t make any sense for a couple reasons. One, it was down to a 1-2 possession game when Jokić would even be considered to get a blow around the 3Q intermission. Two, they were up 20 a minute into the 3Q following a 20 min HT break. Three...

    Denver Nuggets (2) vs Minnesota Timberwolves (3) - 2024 WC Second Round

    Spent many a cold night in Chanhassen one winter. Seriously, I don't know how you guys do it or how you can convince millionaire NBA players to spend winters there.

    Denver Nuggets (2) vs Minnesota Timberwolves (3) - 2024 WC Second Round

    Denver scored 5 pts in first 6 min of 1Q and 6 points in first 7 min of the 3Q. I’m liking my Mavs finals ticket more and more.

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    Good framework for a deal. Orlando gets the better player and OKC gets the better fit.

    New York Knicks (2) vs Indiana Pacers (6) - 2024 EC Second Round

    This is Gold right here. Resting Brunson would have ensured he didn’t break his hand today for sure…..unless a margarita glass broke on him in Cancun today.

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    Very true. They need an initiator so freakin badly, can eliminate Fultz from their rotation and maybe the NBA altogether. What do they have to offer?

    New York Knicks (2) vs Indiana Pacers (6) - 2024 EC Second Round

    That’s their only hope. Even the early 3’s they made were contested bc OG and Hart are unable to move without the ball.

    New York Knicks (2) vs Indiana Pacers (6) - 2024 EC Second Round

    Imagine watching this game and complaining about the Pacers missing shots? Lol

    Gotcha just saw it shown.

    What did he do? Didn’t see it.

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    That’s what I’m saying. His “value” as a player is very high but not necessarily good fits with rebuilding teams for a trade.

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    I don’t view Giddey’s season as a step back as he showed what he could do as a 21-yr old lead guard when SGA was out. The problem is that the teams he would fit best during a rebuild are in asset-collection mode and not looking to move these assets for one player. Agreed that he needs to go for...

    New York Knicks (2) vs Indiana Pacers (6) - 2024 EC Second Round

    If both are limited this is a huge advantage to the Pacers. There is no good answer for NY, if they can go they go but if they don’t you’ve got even more limited players on the floor. Tough spot for the home guys to be in.

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    He knew it wasn’t questionable which is probably why and felt he had to get really lucky w the replay. 99% sure that SGA wasn’t away of the dislodge rule and only knew that he raked the guys arm.

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    This never gets overturned imo. Anything can get missed at game speed but once they go to the monitor this is never not a foul.

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    Now that we have heard how this rule is interpreted, similar in a way to The Tuck Rule, I am pretty certain that it is more likely than not that the OKC video assistants in charge of replay did not fully understand how this rule is interpreted. The blaming Daigneault, not necessarily here, are...

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    Yeah I’ve liked Dallas to come out of the WC before the playoffs started so whether it’s Minny or Denver, I expect it to be Denver, they have a shot the way that they defend, matchup w the Nuggets and have shot creators. Me and the Discord crew have them at +700 to make The Finals. Saw wild...

    OKC Thunder (1) vs Dallas Mavericks (5) - 2024 WC Second Round

    Less than 100% with that knee and he’s playing both ends. His game isn’t like poetry but that’s this Mavs team. Best record in the NBA over the past 3 months yet they don’t look impressive in anything that they do. It’s the playoff formula….team defense, offensive stars that can create in iso...

    Green Zinger Tea - Kristaps Porziņģis 2023-24

    I don’t think he will be simply because I don’t expect there to be an end (G6/G7/or even maybe a G5) part of this series.

    Green Zinger Tea - Kristaps Porziņģis 2023-24

    What is close though? We are in the conference finals and he’s been announced out for the early part of it. So we aren’t even into the “Questionable to force NY/Indy to utilize resources to game plan for him being available” yet and as of a couple days ago he wasn’t even running at half speed...
