As long as Dallas doesn’t have a problem paying Brunson they will be very good for a long time.

Me too… WTF am I doing weighing in on KD for God’s sake!

Lol. Books injury, just getting punker 2 of the last 3 games of the series (and the end of season tail off that I naively blew off) have just been so deflating.

DON was terrible again last night. Idk if he's lost his explosiveness from the injury, but he chucks a lot of bad shots. As much of a goofball Gobert is, i do feel sorry for him.

I didn't watch the game last night but in a previous meeting it looked like Mitchell is not elevating the way he uses too.

At 33? He should still have 3 very productive years ahead of him…

He’s been in the league a minute and has had some pretty bad injuries

You can tell his hearts not in it either. That quote about how he doesn’t care about winning anymore was a wow moment for me.

The U.S. Olympic team would have had trouble winning the gold without Kevin Durant.

Brunson reminds me of Andre miler so much.

KD and his fans all emotional today over that Bus Rider comment

Really? His quicks are much better than Miller/Miller was much more of a grinder, could post guys. Don’t really see the comparison.

I see it. Not old Andre Miller but when he was younger like in Cleveland or his first stint in Denver. Brunson may be quicker but he's a very deliberate playmaker. Hes not flashy but very efficient.

But he’s so much quicker than Miller. Guess agree to disagree.

Both play a very physical brand of basketball. Bulldogs. Brunson is just the modern day version of Miller.

Kenny still talking about being a Bus rider lmao

He got cut deep

Ernie just said Trae young in this series 24 assist and 24 turnovers

Yeesh

I can’t believe how tough the Wolves are playing the Grizzlies.

Dumbest end of game strategy ever. D’Angelo Russell. LOL

It was AntMan who gambled

It's kind of funny how the Wolves are showing how to beat the Grizzlies, the Nuggets showed how to attack the Warriors "Death Line-up", and the Pelicans have displayed how to beat the Suns.

I think the Pelicans one is the least likely to hold up just because the Suns haven't had Booker. He would have changed the outcome of at least 1 of the 2 losses we've had. However their main strategy of playing big, physical, and having a big wing scorer is something other teams can try to imitate. The top teams in the East all could, Boston, Miami, Philly, and the Bucks.

Should be a good playoffs. The field really is wide open.

I'd forgotten about it but ex Warrior Adonal Foyle brought it up last night in a show. A couple of years back the NBA did a height adjustment thing where they tried to crack down on teams exaggerating heights. one of the outcomes of that was Draymond Green was measured by the Warriors, in socks, at 6'5"! I think they still list him at 6'8" the NBA crackdown didn't last long and I know he has long arms but my goodness he's guarding people like Joker at 6'5"

thats a perfect ratio

That show has some very clever people working for it.

Pretty sure we’ve known he was 6’5 for a long time.
