Had a feeling Kat was gonna have one of those off games lmao. Grizzlies are on the driver’s seat right now. Not playing Adams is the way to go, he was getting burned with every play they ran with him defending.

Looking forward to Memphis vs Golden State.

Nah not they’re not the best in the east that would be the Bucks. If Williams takes on a bigger role offensively, and barring any injury I think they definitely could make that run next year. Lavine hasn’t been 100% all season either because of some back injury, so I expect him to be better. If it wasn’t for Ayo replacing Lonzo and Demar turning into MJ, the Bulls would have nose dived straight into the play-in tournament.

Bucks losing Middleton for an entire month might make the Bucks/Bulls series minimum 6 games, and if they manage to advance might be the end of the season if he can't be back depending on if they play Boston or Brooklyn

Supersonics need to be back in the NBA fr, I'd rather move Sacramento tho

Middleton is out for a month? Wow. That’s a big loss with the series going to CHI now.

As I thought, if Bane keeps on doing numbers similar or better to Morant's they are winning this series.

He’s one of the keys to them making a run this playoffs. If his offense isn’t there, you can’t rely on Brooks’ horse shots offense as the second guy.

Utah’s the biggest joke in the playoffs every year , really getting clapped by the Mavs without Luka this time

Even the folk running their twitter can’t believe it 💀

Game 2 must have been unbearable for any Jazz fan, they expect Gobert to do everything on defense lol.

 

[Fuckthis3]

Kat making Jimmy look even more right if he keep playing like this

They’re getting blown out of the gym once Luka comes back.

Looked like a completely different player in Game 1.

No excuses for this tho:

No excuses for this tho:

Jazz are fully healthy and can't take out the Mavs led by Brunson/Dinwiddie while the Jazz main starters are scoring at or above their scoring average

everything at this point for the Mavs (if Doncic doesn't come back this series) is house money

Fully healthy Bucks as the best team in the east? I could see that argument especially if Middleton decides to play like a superstar, but I'm not sure if they'd be better than the Celtics or Heat.

GSW 3:0.

I'm becoming a huge fan of Jordan Poole. This man is amazing.

Facts, bro. Man's a mini Curry. You could honestly say it's gone from the Splash Brothers to the Splash Triplets now in GS.

Jokic had a lot of help tonight from his role players tonight but in the last 4 minutes he made one shot lol

 

[ZenZu]

Draymond is an absolute beast and I'll put him up there with any defender in the history of the league. Jokic of all people struggles to move him.

Can man to man guard anyone 1 through 5. Has 10/10 team defense. And his overall defensive IQ is off the charts, he quarterbacks on the fly switches. Truly the GOAT defender all around.
