Denver 14/17 at the rim at halftime

149 ortg and that isn’t even the best offensive half of the night lmao

[Balor3012]

If they give CJ a flagrant there I swear

[justinandimcool]

Campazzo is dope as hell lol

Portland just cannot get over that hump, whether it be dumb fouls or poor rebounding

[justinandimcool]

unnecessary contact, bad rule good call

[justinandimcool]

dang they were chipping away at the non Jokic lineup til Nurkic pooped the bed with the fouls. poor coaching, they could’ve gone smaller against Millsap especially with Nurkic in foul trouble

[justinandimcool]

Carmelo Anthony at the five is not the small lineup i was thinking about omg Stotts

[justinandimcool]

Denver ortg still outpacing Milwaukee’s from the early game

this is the Portland defense i grew to love. they stole home court but there’s not much to go from here other than continuing to try and outscore them.

maybe Covington or Jones at the five would get destroyed by Jokic but at least they’d be fine on the perimeter especially with Denver’s limited shooters. anything with Jurkic, Anthony, or Kanter out there is unlivable and you can’t sit em all

Hollis-Jefferson may be a prayer even though he hasn’t played in a month

[justinandimcool]

making a killing hammering the over 227 so far in this series lol. that’s gotta be 240 at least next game

[MiniFlynny34]

Bryn Forbes was the third best player on his public high school team

[Balor3012]

Knicks officially with the 19th and 21st picks!

ROSE!!!!

lol the mayor called out Trae Young personally to play the game the right way


Reggie Miller vibes i am HERE FOR IT AND I LOVE IT

Lmao! KP fined $50k for going to the strip club last night. I know it’s LA but who goes to the titty bar on a Monday night? When in Rome I guess...

[dmbfd15]

Word is he won’t be suspended just fined. Cuban should sell an NFT to pay for the fine. We can thank Bron for KP only getting a fine

[justinandimcool]

yeah, funny how the league immediately put out a statement comparing the two situations lol

[justinandimcool]

dang Boston was decently controlling the pace but a string of missed shots is killer against Brooklyn. went from tied to down 14 solely on Harris transition buckets

[justinandimcool]

i’m spotlighting Claxton and i don’t love it so far. a little bit of trouble finding flow in the offense, we’ll see on defense

[ToySoldier#34]

Celtics with zero effort, no energy, just absolutely pathetic. Funny how all the "talking head" topics keep showing up night after night, must be made up.

[justinandimcool]

back to back meh games from Bruce Brown, im starting to doubt that he belongs in this environment. hopefully he, Shamet, and Claxton use the next two games to settle down, hard to find a rhythm in a blowout. all trying to do too much and aren’t finding their most effective spots

Robert Williams +1!!!

[justinandimcool]

Drummond starting again. Vogel i’m watching you!

[justinandimcool]

right away no trap on Booker and Davis right there committing off his guy

that’s my purse i don’t know you!!!

[justinandimcool]

two aggressive Davis postups leads to an immediate zone thingy by Phoenix, which Drummond got an easy board

two fouls on Davis now, Zarba is dominating!

[justinandimcool]

zone thingy worked the next two times down!

Lakers in a really clever defense. a soft conventional hedge to force a pass to the roller middle, and they’re having the weak side guy play cornerback and trapping that pass, forcing turnovers and speeding Phoenix up. gotta set picks up higher

[justinandimcool]

even in the Drummond lineups the Davis postups have a lot of space, he’s clearing himself out of the way almost out of bounds. that way it’s almost like a David center lineup except we care about Drummond’s feelings! great adjustment

[justinandimcool]

Gasol/James lineup a quick +2 but Booker figuring out the trap by screening higher


Zubac with the start, absolutely insane

[justinandimcool]

Zubac getting cooked on short rolls out the gate

Doncic cooking George right away

Morris and Leonard getting going on the other end WHY DO I HAVE TO USE SECRET SITES FOR THIS I LIVE IN THE AREA SILVER SHOULD BE ASHAMED

[justinandimcool]

Phoenix surviving non Booker minutes, the Lakers bench shooters bricking

Doncic driving dunk mid 1st was sick

[BotheLaneFan]

When Bron comes back in Ben better be coming with him.

[dmbfd15]

Another good start by Mavs. Kawhi is a one man wolf pack for the Clipps. Love the bounce back from Kleber.

Dude. I had to go to Twin Peaks (a Hooters-esque bar) just to watch the game. Only bar in area open past 10. And I’m in Dallas...

[justinandimcool]

^ that’s incredible. can’t wait for the new TV deal in 5 years lol this is ridiculous

Drummond +13 due to the adjustments above. Vogel is the man
