    Very happy for the Nuggets. Joker and Murray are great to watch and they have some solid supporting pieces that know how to play together.

    Very disappointed with the Clippers. Lack of chemistry was one problem, but the biggest issue was Rivers not making adjustments in that third quarter. It was glaringly obvious what needed to change in their offence. But nada.

    Tatum is a fantastic talent but that close out play in regulation was dumb. Then his OT period wasn’t great as well. Phenomenal block from Bam. Dragic, Butler and Herro have been huge.

    The Heat goes 2-0 up. A season of upsets?

    Celtics cannot cope with the Heat zone defence

    Fucken A. He's transitioning to being a bonafide superstar. Always been a star but now he's looking like an elite.

    Can't believe he's been labelled a locker room cancer by Chicago and Minny, and he was underappreciated in Philly. Snowflakes the lot of them

    Yeah nah. He was toxic. But I’d say Pat Riley and Spoelstra know how to manage someone like that better than most in the league.

    When the others didn't feel the same way as him he wouldn't back down and escalated. Him, especially Riley and Spo are the perfect union

    He’s probably reached a point in his career that this is his chance too.

    Today’s game had a very Warrior-esque feel to it. Duncan moving and shooting like Klay. Ball movement and defensive pressure. Iggy earning his pay cheque as an assistant coach 😎

    I know its a regular season award. But MVP doesn't get bounced in the early rounds

    I dont think you can argue against TGF. They were on pace for a 70 win season, his offensive numbers were amazing and he was DPOY.

    Its funny who gives a shit about it though - or who doesn't. TGF, Harden, Westbrook on one side, Lebron, Kawhi, Curry on the other...

    LBJs Lakers brutalising Denver in game 1. Jokic was in foul trouble early and never recovered after having to battle AD, McGee and Howard. Murray also in foul trouble early as well. LA got good contributions from many, including Rondo with 7 points 9 assists. The series is far from over, LA show how they plan to win out

    Dwight was unbelievable. Total pest at both ends. And Lebron in complete control.

    They got a Chuck "GAH-RAN-TEE" of a sweep on TNT. I'm inclined to agree 🧹 Lakers just too good and everything coming together at once. I think having older guys helps, they can deal with the bubble better.

    I wouldn't be surprised, but the Nuggets are very talented. I think they will grind Jokic down, he can't handle AD, Dwight and McGee. Dwight looked like a guy who's been waiting for his moment for a long time

    My theory on the bubble is that its making team chemistry even more important. The teams that actually like each other, rather than just show up for work each day, are thriving. So we see the young, fun teams like Miami, Celts, Denver and even Dallas though they lost KP then the series, all thrive, and teams like Houston and the Clips who are more business like and don't really want to be there, all fail.

    Lakers the obvs ones who don't fit the age criteria, but i think Lebron has done an awesome job of bringing them all together, and they genuinely seem to like each other. Taco Toooooosdaaaay!!!!

    Anyone with me??!! 😀

    AD's buzzer beater was awesome today, though it will overshadow the Lakers completely shitting the bed in the last three minutes and giving up a nine point lead.

    The Nuggets will probably lose this series, but man they have some ticker.
