Morant will get more efficient with shooting too. It's a slightly funky looking shot, but it's pretty smooth motion. If he can become even a passable defender then wow... Anything possible.

Wow. Cp3 did Luka dirty in that last quarter.

Yep. It was, suns in 5 or 6 though.

Mavs feel short a big. Spenser d and brunson need to lift a little too.

The Lativian gang banger was still a good trade out, but yeah, powell and maxi aren't dealing with ayton magee and byambo over a series when all they need to do is screen and roll for the point God.

Can't even remember why hardaway is out, but gee he'd also be handy right now.

Suns warriors still the likely result, just hope that the griz don't injure the warriors out of contention. That Brooks play was Grayson Allen style dirty.

Fucking mess of a game, no more of that please.

Warriors have decided to make a statement.

I thought it was a wonderful game, fantastic drama.
Hate people who complain about refs but the call on Grant Williams off the ball against giannis in the third quarter was massive (and wrong).
Tatum is being both defended superbly and having a shocker

Yeah that third qtr call was wrong. RIP through call rule change cost you on last play too. If hardens hadnt been hardening for years smart would have been shooting 3. Still, I believe you guys had 17 fts to 0 in last 16 minutes so hard to complain too much. Tatum wasn't great, but I can't help spending all my time comping the main players of each team to harden. At least Tatum looks like he gives a shit and still got up some makable shots and didn't completely go into shell.

All fair, the referring in NBA seems quite “fluid”, there were bad calls on both sides (both Lopez and Grant Williams had rough justice).
Actually didn’t think the smart foul at the end was in the act but some of Giannis “physicality” is too far imo.
If Tatum is a true top 5 player he can’t have a series like this.  1 rebound and 3 assists in 41 minutes is really something.

Cp3 getting shafted a little, but also lol, floppy mcflopface can cop it for a game.

5 fouls, 5th on one of his BS stop with a guy behind him moves.

Fuck me people are idiots. Mavs fan, way too young to be doing shit like this, pushed CP3's Mum and Wife. In isolation, the footage makes cp3 look like a bit of a bully because the guy looks about 17, but fuck me, what's he doing pushing women around. On fucking mothers day. Would absolutely understand a Will Smith moment.

Big Al!

Definitely turning into the grind I expected.

Yeah it says a lot when Giannis and Embiid had the seasons they had yet the Joker still won.

Genuine question to Brooks re Giannis minutes.
I seem to remember in the past (pre title win) Bud getting it for limiting Giannis's minutes in the playoffs.  The last two games he has looked gassed in 4th Quarter.  If Middleton was there would you expect less minutes or less burden (or both)?

I am surprised Bucks don't ride Lopez more on the offence, celtics have no one to match his length.  Certainly would prefer to see Holiday in iso down the stretch rather than Lopez lobs / post ups.

Reggie miller trending on twitter. Basically 100% hatred for his broadcast ability. Love to see it.

I find stan van gundy really boring to listen to, he knows his stuff (obvs) just find his whine irritating, oddly I love hearing his brother.  Mike "BANG" Breen is a sensational commentator imo
