    Grayson Allen is fucking terrible

    Your typical Duke player in the NBA.

    He’s a white guy that can’t hit open 3s (he air balls them) then randomly decides he thinks he is Allen Iverson and gets destroyed going to the basket. The Bucks have another white guy who can’t hit 3s. Without Middleton they are a bad team with the best player in the world carrying them.

    Roadie May be right, the Heat have been chilling this entire playoffs and didn’t have to go to a 7 game brutal series.

    The Bucks are offensively challenged with Middleton. Without him Giannis is on his own

    Every squad is dealing with injuries. Part of the game

    Time for Giannis to follow Kareem to LA

    Giannis would look good in a Clippers uniform.

    He wasn't raised in the US / AAU hoops culture. Doubt he forces his way out anytime soon. I think the league is about to step in hard on that tactic under the next cba after what they've dealt with from Harden, Kyrie, KD, LeBron, Simmons, etc.

    I have been thinking about who the "best player on the planet" is since now more than ever there seems to be a lot of variance. I still think Giannis is the best and a tier of his own, but its not by much. Luka, Joker, Embiid, Steph, Lebron, and KD are all right behind him and you can argue any order really. Next tier would be like Tatum, Kyrie, Booker, Healthy Kawhi and probably 3 or 4 more.



    Cal Booker too low. Bonus points for banging a Jenner who is not gender confused.
    Career killer
    Wonder what she did to him last night for him to have 2 points at halftime on zero shots made in a Game 7 at home.

    Luka pink socking the “best” team in the NBA who has Chris Paul in a game 7. Who could have seen this coming?

    Whatever it was, it HAD to be worth it.

    Last year the suns got seriously flawed Denver (they shouldn't have beat Portland fuck off) and then the Clippers without Leonard.

    This game was to the point where it makes their run last year look even fluffier than it looked back then.

    If he carries the Mavs to the Finals he is making a strong case for 1A player in the league.

    Hard to say. He definitely does it all. The Mavs finally have developed and traded for two other guys that can create off the dribble. Not having to deal with Porzingis and his contract, getting him the ball, etc, has also made them better.

    Giannis is incredible tho. It’s not his fault that Wesley Matthews and Grayson Allen were playing big minutes. Other than Holliday, the rest the team was terrible, especially without Middleton.

    I would probably start with those two, but there are a handful of others that are right there as well.

    Based on Game 1, that case has been granted a continuance.

    Golden State game 1 at home is pretty much automatic. If the Mavs are beating them it will be in 7. Golden State could end it in 5 though. This series is going to be a 3 point contest.

    He’s as good as we have offensively. Generational when healthy. Doesn’t play a lick of defense though. But if with a real organization, He shouldn’t have to.

    It's looking like Boston vs GS, rather easily.

    Mark Cuban is one of the most overrated owners in sports. He’s good because he isn’t cheap, but I’m glad nobody touts him like they used to.

    I don’t buy that Luka is absolutely terrible on defense. He’s also strong and stocky and can’t get bullied. He’s somewhat slow footed and doesn’t play hard every possession on D, but it should be masked by his other contributions and the rest of the team.

    So many All Stars are horrible at defense, mainly because they don’t try and give up easy baskets. LeBron hasn’t played defense in over five years. Doncic at least seems to give some effort.

    I don't foresee Boston shooting 63% from 3 the rest of the series.

    Yeah, Miami will adjust. This will be a good, competitive series.

    Spoelstra and Reilly are among the best. They just can't land another superstar

    If Lebron had checked his ego and let Pat run the team he would have more rings

    3 championships and 6 Finals since 05 is solid

    Dubs are gonna get a lot of rest waiting for whoever. Maybe enough for the Mitten to come back. Klay Thompson can also Guard people again. Get the Mitten back for his solid 15 minutes again and the Dubs will need to clear some room out for another Larry OB in the case.

    Maybe Cuban will order a double x T-shirt in the off season and save us all from that sight.

    I read it. But Luka can’t guard anyone in the playoffs in the starting 5. And again, He shouldn’t really have to.

    And that receipt on Wiggins dunk on him was a little extra butter on the biscuit. Even though Luka got rewarded for looking like a Mariopal victim.

    Celtics Warriors should be entertaining but I really don't care for either team

    Would love to see the Mavs come back from 3-0 but c'mon man

    This is pathetic. Fuck golden state for this game even having to happen.
