Well, he is not that old. Still only 45. That makes you younger!

Wow i always hated CP3, but last night takes the cake. Acting, flopping, then he gets the refs to stop the clock to review Hardens saved ball from Westbrook's airball.

I hate the terms...smart, savvy, verteran plays, etc

Its plain out right cheating and deceiving the game.

He was my favorite non-Suns player until he landed with the Clippers. I've always wondered whether I just didn't see him play often enough to realize what a complete cheater/douche he was or if he changed after landing in LA. Regardless, there is no player in the NBA I detest more than Chris Paul and it's not even close.

Celtics leading the Raptors by 6 with 5:41 to go. Looks like it will go down to wire.

I'm looking forward to the Jazz-Nuggets game to follow.

The Raptors look like crap after looking great before the quarantine and during the bubble.

Shooting is a big part of the story for Raptors: Siakam (6-16), Lowry (5-16) and VanVleet (8-22).

Point guard Monte Morris is such a bargain for the Nuggets and they have a team option next season for only $1,723,707.

Earlier in the game the Nuggets would double team Mitchell at half court and make him give the ball up. I'm not sure why they went away from that. Now Mitchell can get any shot he wants.

Murray hasn't been the same since he collided with Ingles earlier in the game.

He has only 13 points on 5-15 shooting.

It looked like two tired teams slugging it out.

Nuggets win 80-78.

Jazz had a good look at a 3 point shot at the buzzer.

Nuggets win series 4-3.

Torrey Craig attempting that shot for Denver with 4.4 seconds left almost cost them the game as it gave the Jazz one last shot attempt at a 3-pointer that missed by Conley.

I wondered why they didn't do that again or call a timeout. They just let them get back into the game when clearly the momentum and lead wasn't going the Nuggets way.

Murray hasn't been the same since he collided with Ingles earlier in the game.

He has only 13 points on 5-15 shooting.

I really hate Ingles. His head bobs and flopping. Then he manages to sneak these kinds of cheap shots in the games too. Really gets under my skin.
