Drummond has the worst touch I've seen in some time for someone that should be shooting 60% with how easy his looks are

And it's blocked again. **** these TV providers

Same problem I had all season long. I just paid for hehe. No restrictions, no blackout and no BS. Not mention cheap. Whoever is running it does a great job of being transparent as hell.

Nets and Knicks are my market (I live a few blocks from Barclays). And it's crazy how games go in and out. Bat **** crazy.

He does look good. But for long? He looks hurt.

Yeah the Lakers definitely want the 7th seed if the Suns have the 2nd seed. Love the Suns but that's a 5-game series max for LA.

Jazz up 2 games now on PHX, could be very possible

I don’t think the Lakers would willingly take the 7th seed knowing there would be a play in game.

Just heard one of the NBA TV announcers say “Derrick Rose looking like Sub-Zero with the get over here crossover” and it caused me more pain than my 2nd vaccine.

I was completely wrong about the impact Blake would have for us. My guy has definitely proved me wrong with his play since he’s gotten here.

Re: 5/3 - 5/19 Games Discussion Thread

the starts for BOS this year have been insane. to me that's an effort thing but that's on both the players and coaching. At least Nesmith is looking like a player though. The bust talk might've been too early. 5th seed is probably out of play so the only play left is avoid BKN. Fournier looks good when he doesn't have Covid really hope they re-sign him. with Rob having Turf toe don't think the Cs will ever be fully healthy which is a shame because the limited sample size looked good. JB turning into in an elite scorer probably was the biggest positive of this dreadful season though.

All depends on if it's LAC or Denver as the 3rd seed. I think LAC is the last team they want to see in the first round while LeBron and Schroder work back into a rhythm.

Re: 5/3 - 5/19 Games Discussion Thread

They’re going to have a difficult matchup regardless of who they play so at this point the only thing they can do is try to get guys (IE Lebron)as healthy as he can, because the ankle is going to be an issue for as long as he’s playing this year. Same with AD as well so y’all might as well start rehearsing the takes y’all will have for him in the playoffs if doesn’t look like healthy AD for a stretch of games.

The whole waiting on guys to get 100% healthy thing isn’t going to happen for them or any team at this point in the year.

The Clippers are their toughest matchup though, nobody is built to beat the Lakers as well as the Clippers are.

That's why a matchup with Denver or Phoenix is more ideal in the first round. I'm not expecting LeBron to be 100% the rest of the year but you want him to get his legs under him a bit more before having to face Kawhi and PG.

And after what AD has shown the last 2 games, it appears he does indeed have the switch-flipping capability. Color me pleasantly surprised.

I mean he’s shown he could do that throughout his time in the league. Just like every other elite player at their position.

Name a better bromance in the league?

If CP3 is getting legit MVP recognition then Gobert gotta get some too tbh. Best player on the best record. And it's not like CP3 is putting up crazy numbers either

CP3: 16.2 PPG, 8.9 APG, 4.5 RPG, 1.4 SPG 49.2/39.3/93.1

Gobert: 14.3 PPG, 13.3 RPG, 1.3 APG, 0.6 SPG, 2.8 BPG, 67.5/0.0/62.4

And that's not taking into account the analytical numbers either where Gobert is king lol

I mean I get it, Phoenix had a crazy turnaround, but nobody had the Jazz being a Top 3 seed this year, let alone the best record in the NBA. And with Mitchell and Conley missing significant time now, Gobert has been willing us to a lot of wins
