That was prison ball. Nuggets should have put in one bench guy to touch someone up. Whining to the refs was where I knew they lost it

Yeah. Their play became worse when they started complaining. Terrible shot selection, unnecessary fouls.

Murray is fined 100k and lucky to avoid suspension.

What was Nuggets GM doing when Mavericks were getting a Gafford? Can you imagine this guy backing Jokic instead of the remains of DeAndre Jordan

Their GM already told you they are planning for the future. Nothing concern the GM and immediate win. Hes contended with the 1 ring.

Malone however no get time for those Youths. cheesy

GM doing one thing, coach doing another.

1. Do you think Kobe with this year's Lakers would have been swept by the Nuggets? 2. Do you believe Lakers with Kobe would be up 20 pts in 4 games and lose them to the same team in one playoffs series? Na simple questions o, dont do too much shalaye

All this one na rhetorical questions. The answer is he never did so we'd never know.

Bam Adebayo had more DPOY votes than AD. I can't believe this shit. And where are those Minnesota wings and guards? How come Gobert gets to take all the credit?

Anyone watching this game and denying SGA as a free throw merchant is insane

This joker kicked someone in the nuts and was rewarded with free throws
That's the advantage you get when you're a Superstar 😎
Superstars gets the whistles.
Luka for example had just as much FT.
And SGA actually made 11/13 FT.
And he also drives to the line constantly.
That's why he's so good, everything is so smooth, efficient and consistently murder teams.
Let OKC reach conference finals make I see the banter you will use again.
OKC looks set to rule the west for a decade.

What's nuts? Their bench is actually very good. They are like the Grizzlies of 2 years ago only younger and definitely more disciplined.

The Grizzlies were just marred with injuries and Ja indiscipline. They will be back next season.

Exactly. They could even trade some of their picks for a star like KD if they want to go that route

No the fuq he didn't. Luka had 10, SGA had 13

Just go on Twitter and type SGA whistle. Everyone knows he's a free throw merchant. This is open secret. I don't know what he had on these refs but if Jamal Murray had that whistle he would be MVP contender

Mind you he shot 42% from the field but had more Free throws than made baskets. Efficient my black a$$

Conference Finals Murray had gotten to at 23 na him you wan use dey brag? You do realize SGA is older than Luka and Luka at 23 had also been to conference Finals

As for OKC set to rule. We shall see. They said same about so many teams in the past and it came to nowt

I feel like their window for a ring has passed. They were the team with young legs and excellent defense years before wolves and okc. Though I agree when Ja comes back, I see them making some noise and displacing an older team in the SW division. Mavericks need to win like right now, because Grizzlies and Rockets in that same division will only get better next year. They might find themselves fighting with the Rockets or even Spurs for a play-in position

The league has swung to a new type of coach. Its like using analytics to pick personnel and styles of play. I wish someone would do an expose on the type of offense/defense some of these younger teams are playing. If the Suns or Lakers or Warriors get the right coach next year and tweak the bench, I could see any one of those old guys making a last ditch effort for a ring.

Not Embid fault If Harris went for 0 points.
There's been criticisms about Embid toughness in the past but year Embid proved that wrong.
Walking on one leg, and bells pallsy he still balled out.

It will never cease to amaze me how people just want to create stupid narratives. One guy who is paid 30+mil and is supposed to be the 3rd best player on the team sores 0pts, but somehow it's the fault of the number 1 option for losing, who was playing on one leg and was still holding his own. I don't blame them, the whole ESPN hot take narrative have taken over people actually judging a game on its merits.
This stupid thing has started entering football too, some idiots who claimed Mbappe choked in the world cup final after scoring a harttrick because his team lost via penalty shoot out, when he himself did not miss.

If Celtics don't win this year's title just close the entire franchise

Jalen Brunson injured. The Knicks are playing with no Point guard basically.

Trust Thibodeau to run these guys into the ground. This Josh Hart with him Horn of Africa cardio I hope he's not the next to breakdown

Why the change in stance with the Brunson injury? According to you injuries should not matter as long as the player is on the court.

Change in stance? No chance in hell

He played only 8 minutes of the first half. What are you on about

I didn't even give excuses for Jamal. Why would I for Brunson

If you're past those white lines I don't wanna hear it. That has never changed
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 2:45am On May 09
One of the reasons I agree with those who say that the older coaches are out of touch is what is going on in this second half. Any coach with a brain should know that if you're the Pacers, as long as it's not a transition opportunity, Brunson should be targeted on every half-court set.
