....I'm actually slightly hoping the Lakers can pull out one game, because it will bump OKC's Monday game from 8:30 to 7:30 and I can actually get a full night's sleep for work.
Anderson Verajao would have scored 18 points a game if his hands weren’t cinder blocks coated in astroglide
Lebron would feed him 8 easy layups or dunks a game and 7 of them bounced off his hands, arms, or face and became a loose ball fracas, the only type of play Andy was good at
I’ve always been a LeBron fan, but the team I’ve always carried a torch for is the Timberwolves. So I’m really looking forward to game three tonight and hope Edwards can continue to talk shit to members of the Suns.

I’m torn between wanting to be excited about the Wolves versus not wanting to be hurt. It’s been so long since they were good, and they’re really fun to watch right now.
Without having tried to look it up. . . Have the T wolves won only 2 playoff series in their history? I remember KG famously lost in the first round every year until Cassell and Sprewell, then they made WCF. I dont think they have ever won a round again, have they?

Big Z was ahead of his time. Due to early injuries he focused on jumpshots instead of putting his back to the basket before this was an accepted idea even from players like Dirk. If he were to play in the space-and-pace era he would have been a monstrous version of Channing Frye.

This gave me a sad remembering first round game 7 against the Kings. Webber was coming back from his ACL and the kings were DETERMINED to force him back in even though he had one leg and they were humming along just fine without him earlier in the season.
Toward the end of game 7, win or go home, literally only 2 of the Kings players even giving the slightest of shits on the court. Doug Christie and broken Webber. Despite this they've battled the Wolves all the way, Webber gets the ball for what would have been an easy dunk for him before the injury. Instead you can watch in real time as he realizes he can't jump anymore, shifts awkwardly to a half hearted layup attempt, and is blocked (he might have actually just missed the layup instead, it was 20 years ago and there was much beer). The whole end of that era of the kings summarized right there in that play.
Oh yeah, I remember that Kings/TWolves game 7 as well. Webber had the chance to win it with a 3 at the end and front rimmed it. Webber was traded the next year I think and Kings never contended again.

I don’t think thread titles should be used to target members of this community
Let's be fair, and alternate between current title and "29 other teams in the league are out to get Draymond and disparage his reputation #FakeNews"
I feel like TelMarine would roll with it. You already had two years of the thread title being mean to my favorite player at the time -- I've done my time!
Sometimes you have an idea and you think you’re so clever so you never stop to really think how goosey it is until you wake up in the morning and then you cringe at yourself

You see, for you being a bit mean was a serious situation that caused you noteworthy stress… but for me it was Tuesday.

Nah, it was more that I saw last night Embiid got 21 free throws, the Knicks as a whole got 19
Also apparently Embiid went full Draymond last night with that flagrant one that wasn’t called a flagrant two and that hip check of OG Anunoby

That Bell’s Palsy thing is nuts though

The Lakers are 3-0 in the first halves of the series.
So in a sense they are tied with the Nuggets who I think are starting to feel the pressure here.
But they won't.
He has goddamn Bells Palsy. It’s affecting his vision!
Are you fucking kidding me
……..Adam Silver has crossed a line ::ducks::
no love for Verajao?

The most frustrating thing in the world

NO MORE DRAYMOND SLANDER. Really, who cares, it's not that serious.
The thread title should change

Starting at the 4:00 mark if the time code doesn't work
Unfortunately Jimmy Haslam is still there regardless
