Learn something new every day. Mullin said in the postgame that he worked with Payton on the release on his shot "us lefties gotta stick together."

I don't think he does he sat because of his 5th foul. You could hear boogie screaming at the ref that's not a foul

But he's on fire right now
They were talking about his hamstring for like the entire 4th quarter?

Never mentioned it on the local telecast. He could have been hurt but he sat because he got 5 fouls. Malone did say in the postgame he had hamstring tightness before the game so that's where TNT got it from

Man you look at the NBA draft for 2014 and how many guys were taken ahead of Jokic. Wiggins, Gordon a bunch of bigs like McGary and other stiffs. I know he was overweight at that age but man it's amazing with all the scouting NBA teams do overseas that he lasted that long.

Meanwhile, the Suns took Bogdan Bogdanovic from Serbia.


At lest we weren't the 76ers/Magic drafting Elfrid Payton #10

Really good matchups in the East for the 2nd round. A shame that Middleton is out for this round otherwise that would be a titanic showdown between two great teams. I still give the Bucks a punchers chance but it’ll be tough to win that series without Middleton.

First game is usually announced pretty quick, no?

I do think the Suns match-up better with the Mavericks. They will have the size advantage in this series.

Does Dallas only shoot 3’s? This is wild

43 of their 80 FG attempts were 3's. They only shot 39% from 3 so it's not like they were hot. That's their offense. Outside of Luka feeding people inside, they're chuckers. They got a little better with Dinwiddie but I think they're turning him into more of a chucker than he's helping establish an inside game.
