Re: Second Half of the Season March-April Regular Season Discussion

I really want to be a fan of Ant. I love him on an NBA court, but I hate his off the court stuff.

His style of play, his relationship with his teammates, and he's a funny dude. Those are all things that make me want to be a fan.

If it ever seems like I'm overly critical of his play, its because I'm looking for a reason to not like his on court play lol. That would make it so much easier

He doesn’t have it every night anymore but seeing him still at any given time be as good as anybody in the league is just insane.

I remember when he first started having some back issues with Miami and people thought he was going to decline so fast. He’s been playing ever since with this stiff back posture and somebody’s uncles dribble package still killing people [emoji23].

I definitely didn’t expect it. Makes me wonder what he might look like had the Solomon Hill injury never happened. I think coming back from that was the first time he looked noticeably past his “prime”.. playing now with the injured groin too which seems to be a yearly reoccurring issue.

I love seeing Lebron being lose like he was tonight. Light on his legs, high jumper release, confidence in his jumpshot. It's really cool to see thoses flashes but they're definately few and far between now. Still a good sign and his groin is probably healing well... Until next time. Solomon Hill definately signed the end of his prime.

Game 4 is gonna be a fight hopefully, Minny is playing really well and the lack of rim protection is really showing.

I think he's a player that deserves the praise. Energetic, expressive, not a ball hog, very talented, doesn't foul bait etc...

Personally I don't really care about the off the court stuff. On the court there isn't much not to like imo.

Memphis season is over after the sweep. Winder if they'll make big changes. In theory, could run it back. Ja, Bane, Wells, JJJ, and Edy is a good enough starting lineup. But like with Zion, I would consider trading Ja. No real off the court issues besides the celebrations lol. But, his play style isn't conducive to staying healthy. I would make a trade. Pippen Jr has played well.



I like JJJ and he is a perennial DPOY candidate. But, he always seems to be in foul trouble and I don't like Bigs who don't rebound

FAR too close to overturn anyways. And it was good on the floor.

Will be robbery if this is overturned IMO.

I don't know what players have against boxing out but maybe this end will give them a nudge to boxout

Propr to GS for playing so well but having said that if they go on to win this game that should be more of an indictment against Houston than a good win for GS.
Houston is the #2 seed playing what would effectively be a 10th seed Warriors without Butler.

Houston gotta show it belongs as a #2 seed and they aren't

How long can he ride the waves of being a passenger on Kawhi's Toronto championship?

Brick after brick but "tHaT cHaMpIoNsHiP pEdIgReE"

Edit: Right after posting that I swear it sound like he said "Van Vleet with the A$$ dribble"

I don't think Houston is ready. Too young and inexperienced

First ever buzzer beater game winning dunk in playoff history. At first I'm like no way, but then you realize to be a dunk, game winner, and buzzer beater, it's gotta be on your fingers with 0.1 and then get through the cylinder at 0.0, so I get it now

Also, I have no idea how they researched that so quickly lol

Plus, and I say this all the time, I hope Ballmer doesn't have some underlying medical condition. That late comeback was nuts and he was (as usual) going completely bonkers, it's like, I hope it's safe for him to go insane like that

Re: Second Half of the Season March-April Regular Season Discussion

Jokic made some very tough shots in the clutch. Like the double pivot fadeaway he made with Zu all over him to take the lead or tie it at the end. Insane shot making. It's so tough to win that kind of game on the road, it really felt like their playoffs run was slipping away.
