Loving the physicality of the Pistons and Knicks game. Not great quality but a fantastic game to watch nonetheless. Refs getting the right balance of not blowing the whistle easily either way only helps the helter skelter flow.

Should've layed it up there, could be the difference in this game tbh.

Do my eyes deceive me or is KAT really going supernova in the playoffs

[Robz4000]

KAT being clutch? In the playoffs?!

That was a clear foul on the last shot Awesome game.

[Robz4000]

Pistons had their chances but pissed it away tbh.

Cade hero-balling on their last 3 possessions resulting in 0-2 and a turnover did them. Don’t know if it was him or the coach but they should have at least tried to run something.

...

The Nuggets are now being coached by Jokic and the Grizzlies fell off a cliff after firing Jenkins. Both teams should've let them coach til the end of the postseason.

...

Considering how damn high Jokic's BBall IQ is, that doesn't sound like a terrible idea to me...

Kawhi really turned up the intensity in the 4th and almost willed them to a win. He went for a couple of haymakers 3s at the end of the fourth, but unfortunately for the Clippers, they didn't go in. Big win by Denver, and Jokic got screwed on a couple of those fouls calls at the end. He certainly didn't hook Zubac's arm.

Also, what is the rule on a dunk to win the game? Can you hands still be on the ball if it's through the top of the rim and the red light/times runs out?

They had an angle where it was pretty clear that he had released the dunk and the light was not yet on. Risky gamble, though. I’ve seen it go the other way, and if the ruling on the court had been no shot, I’m not sure what happens. I’ve see clearer video evidence whiffed.

Damn, thought Ant was ed there for a second.

[LeBowen]

That's a dirty ing play, if Brooks or Draymond did it we'd be listening about a s bag move for weeks.

You don't dive at someone's knees.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

How Edwards was able to walk off after this is amazing. Horrible play by LeBron diving at his legs.

[LeBowen]

Dubious Handle is no more!

Cole Anthony is a master at it. Dirty as .

[LeBowen]

Gobert needs to be sat down, he's beyond useless.

How can you be by far the tallest player on the floor and have 1-6 FG in 22 minutes on the floor?

Old man James

[LeBowen]

Tbh, OKC and LAC are the only Western teams that play good basketball and don't just get the ball to their stars and hope for the best.
Even though it's top level entertainment, the quality is lacking when it comes to top level contenders.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Coaches shouldn’t blindly trust the players for challenges like this.

[baseline bum]

God I'd kill to get Jaden McDaniels on the Spurs. Also WTF challenging that call that was obviously off Ant.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Lucky Minnesota haha

[LeBowen]

He's exactly what we're hoping Sochan can be.
Identical contract to Devin's, just not front loaded. And we still have that pick of theirs, just saying...


Lakers fanbase about to have a collective meltdown after not being obviously favored by the refs once.
