Everybody counting the Nuggets out better recognize. The T-Wolves may still bust that a$$, but it's going 6, at the least. Imo, Nuggets in 7

Hoping Mavericks win today. Looking for Boston as bad as I hate to say it, to bum rush Cavs tonight.

So Shai inadvertently hits DJjr with an elbow to the shoulder that really didn't get too high or far away from him, and DJjr was all the way behind him. DJjr acts like he's been punched in the face so they review and find there was nothing there. Probably shouldn't have been a foul in the first place, but they uphold it...when are the technicals for flopping supposed to factor in? I don't understand. Dude wasn't even fouled, nor was he hit in the face, and he carried on for 3 minutes and made them stop play for a review. League's gotta clean this up.

Mavericks take 2-1 series lead over OKC.

105-101

The jump ball call was one of the weirdest calls I've ever seen. We were looking at an easy basket and a 1 point game. IDK how this keeps happening. It seems every close game has some wildass call.

Mavericks take 2-1 series lead over OKC.

105-101

Mavericks are a different team after the trades and they are still gelling with each other. I think all 4 teams are alive in the West for the Finals.

Looking for Pacers to even series today.

Timberwolves bounce back tonight and win a close one at home.

Wizards deserve #1 pick nothing good has happened in that city in basketball since Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld in the 70's.

Wizards deserve #1 pick nothing good has happened in that city since the British burned it down.

FYP

I have the perfect gif for when the Pistons get the 5th pick today

 

[zjcvols]

The Grizzlies won 50 games the next year. They had Gasol/Posey/Mike Miller/Battier as the perfect core to build around LeBron. I know the West was brutal, but imagine LeBron as the PG on Grizzlies team instead of being shackled with that terrible Cavs franchise

 

[knoxvol52]

Bulls sent Julian Phillips to represent them today.

Poor Detroit tied for worst record and receive the 5th draft pick.

Watch the Spurs win lottery again

Atlanta Hawks get #1 draft pick..

 

[zjcvols]

Stupid. ****ing. System.

 

[zjcvols]

Either draft Castle or trade it for a proven 3&D wing.

It’s unbelievable the NBA remade the system hoping to fix tanking and it’s done the exact opposite. Especially for these Midwest teams that can’t attract actual talent to come to FA

Sorry you got ****ed yet again but I feel like tanking is at a totally tolerable level. The play-in made a big difference.

Jazz got jumped by 2 teams at #8???

PS, HTF did I not know the lottery was today? Why do it on Mother's Day. Fools

 

[zjcvols]

I have no hope for this franchise. Cade is a #2 that has to masquerade as a #1. Ivey doesn’t have the mentality to be great. Ausar has a blood clot and can’t shoot. Duren won’t play defense. They announced the job for POBO a month ago and not one interview has been announced. Monty Williams got $78M guaranteed and doesn’t care, completely phoning it in and has five years left. The owner hasn’t won a playoff game in 14 years. And for the third straight year I’ve fallen the most I can in the lottery. I don’t know if I can do this anymore.

Knicks must've flew back to New York last night.

 

[knoxvol52]

I love playoff basketball .

 

[knoxvol52]

For those that wrote Denver off, they're baaaaack.

Ant had 45 on 25 shots and they got handled at home. Nuggets flipped this series on its head.

On Group Chat last week Justin Verrier did a victory lap on his Jokic is overrated take. He went way overboard, including (jokingly) asking "How does my ass taste?" And the next episode is gonna be so funny
