    Cavs had some injury issues, but still was kind of a surprising result, not necessarily that they lost but how easily they lost. Pacers seem to be playing their best ball at the right time.

    That's fine, better that the Wolves are heavy underdogs. They played OKC well this year even before they found their groove with all the new players from the KAT trade.

    I'm interested to see if they need to shake the rust off after a week off. Sometimes long rest hurts a playoff team, but also means fresh legs and no one is banged up coming in to a new series. They also had a lot of time to prep for whoever they ended up playing.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Caruso won that game yesterday. That was awesome to watch. 

    Joker is still the best player on the planet. He had a sick Murray and injured Gordon and Porter Jr. 

    I really want OKC to win it all.

    Would love to see Denver get some help for Jokic and not be the worst bench for another year. They are in a tight spot with the apron rules. Do you think Adelman did enough to get the nod for head coach?

    Man, it's pretty pathetic how Ticketmaster can now also dictate who can buy tickets to the games. I know this is in collaboration with the teams, but man, what a fucking joke. Locking out fans of the away team unless they live in the state or next to it is just another example of the monopoly the ticketing industry has over fans. All these rich assholes gaming the system.

    I think he has a good chance. They were on a downward spiral when they fired Malone and Booth (4 straight losses) and some brutal late-season losses to the Wizards and Bulls. They won their last three regular season games which were critical for seeding. They beat the loaded Clippers with a healthy Kawhi when nearly every "expert" at ESPN counted them out and then took the best regular-season team this year to 7 games. I would prefer him to the other coaches out there that are available.

    Definitely the Thunder are to blame, Ticketmaster is just the conduit.

    I mean, wouldnt you want to pack your own house with your fans?

    You can always do stubhub or I guess contact your teams HR?

    Thunder looked nice again tonight. Minnesota took thirty more threes than the Thunder. That’s insane.

    I was watching this Knicks game and about 5 minutes left or so I knew they were going to lose. You could see the Knicks waning.

    Haliburton overrated? Yeah, keep pushing that false narrative.
    The choke thing cracked me up.  I watched that game when Miller scored the 8 points in 4 seconds.

    Knicks might win one.

    Incredible come back by the Pacers. Where was this version of Aaron Nesmith when he was a Celtic?
    Good thing for Haliburton they won in OT or he'd be facing major ridicule for the choke sign. I know he thought it was a game winning 3, but the NY media and fans would never let him live it down if the Knicks had won in OT.
    Hell of a game.

    The NY media here already hates him and they keep going on about Reggie Miller announcing, lol.  It is driving them nuts.

    I personally think he did a great job of staying pretty leveled during the game. I'm still not a fan of him commentating.

    I was thinking more like Murr form Impractical Jokers




    Much like Frank Vogel looks like Joe Gatto:

    I like Reggie Miller, always have.  Every delusional Knicks fan thinks hes bias though.  It's only the NY market, lol.  Why?  Because they are all used to listening to their local announcers, so when someone isn't slurping the Knicks they think its bias, lol!!!

    Go Shai!

    So I was wondering why Holmgren and Caruso weren't on the defensive NBA teams and I had forgotten that you need 65 games min to be considered.  I remember Embiid didn't get considered where he should have been too.

    I liked Gobert when he was here in Utah but he's not made for the big moments (not withstanding his big game against a small Lakers lineup).

    Thanks for Posting that. I tried but my Low-Tech self wasn't able to.

    I think he looks a lot like the MAD man on the Magazine.
