Really looking forward to the impending mile high Fakers matchup in the WCF.

Never overthink this.

I think I landed on "BroLo+Jrue"... and that's not happening. Brunson and MitchRob?

Don't think there's going to be much of any defensive resistance to anticipate. And that's exactly down my alley.

Could make the Sac/GS series look like amateur hour.

Denver is playing so much faster than what the Clippers showed. Curious if the Suns can better match that pace next game and establish some rhythm. A step slow all game and once a team starts having this much fun it’s game over

I don't understand the NBA and the injury thing right now. Shams comes out today and says it's more serious than a grade 1 sprain for Embiid (which means he's not playing this series) but Philly doesn't have to report what the injury actually is?

Pain behind the right knee, same knee he had surgery on last year for a tear; nobody actually reporting what the injury is, Rivers saying the MRI was "scary" ... how is this OK with the betting markets now a thing?

drobfan8 · 04-29-2023, 10:45 PM

J. Murray gives me Tony Parker vibes but with a better 3 point shot.

Would love to see Denver come out of the West.

jcmel323 · 04-29-2023, 11:01 PM

denver will win all games if jamal murray is the best scorer. I rather let jokic score me 50pts than what happen today.

ninjacookies · 04-29-2023, 11:23 PM

Yeah. Phoenix is bbq chicken if they can't contain the bubble Murray effect.

They may have to start switching KD on him, since CP3 and Okogie can't hang. Don't worry too much about MPJ since he camps the corners.

I just don't know where the scoring for Phoenix is going to come. Either KD/Book go flu-game, CP3 reaches back into the fountain of youth and Ayton averages 20+ per night, because they're not nearly as dynamic as the Fakers.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves though. Denver just doing what they're expected to holding court.

I’m good with either of these teams winning. Jimmy because he’s underrated, Jalen to stick it to Cuban.

bigjbasketball · 04-30-2023, 12:30 PM

Even on TV, the Garden sounds LOUD today. I love it, the playoffs are so much more fun when the Knicks are good. If NY gets past Miami, I honestly think they’d have a shot to win against the Celtics or Sixers. I probably wouldn’t put money on it, but the Knicks played both those teams really tough during the regular season, so I don’t think Boston or Philly would run them off the court. I can’t believe there’s a world where the Knicks could actually make the Finals. If there’s any Mavs fans still watching the playoffs, that would sting pretty badly.

Miami out here sleep walking

Love the graphic of RJ using his left hand to drive.

Heat subbed in Prince William.

Now there's really no value.

…….aaaaaand the Heat’s season is over

JohnnyHatesJazz · 04-30-2023, 02:14 PM

Hate to see it. He was playing so well.

The Accountant · 04-30-2023, 02:15 PM

Well this series just ended. That sucks!!!! F man. Always the stars

Onepocketj · 04-30-2023, 02:16 PM

If Jimmy's hurt, this series is over

pingbling23 · 04-30-2023, 02:16 PM

camera zooming in on spo and reading his lips says it all "f**k" hate to see it

duron · 04-30-2023, 02:16 PM

If this turns out to be a serious injury to Butler, pretty wack way for us to win the series.

But alas, go Knickerboqueños.

The Accountant · 04-30-2023, 02:17 PM

Jimmy is tough…

MiamiMarlinsFan · 04-30-2023, 02:19 PM

How is he back out there?!
