Was thinking of SimpleBay and other Laker fans with this tweet,


although I probably would have gone with Yankees instead of Cowboys.

Donovan Mitchell is having an ok night. 30 points early in the third. 6 of 9 from deep.

Middleton and Giannis went for 68/29 on a night when the team scored 86...and won.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

Since the Phoenix Suns lost to the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers 109-95 on 5/27 to trail 2-1, they have won 6 consecutive playoff games, including 3 road games, and the last 5 by 14+ points. The Suns are rolling their way into the NBA Western Conference Finals.

I thought Aaron Gordon would be a really good player when surrounded by better talent....nope. He is a good stats/bad team player. Nuggets are completely overmatched talent wise.

But not having their #1 (people would say that's Jokic but I disagree) is killing them. Jamal Murray and Jokic together is one of if not the best duos in the game.

No argument. I love watching Murray and Jokic run a 2-man game. Artful. Probably my favorite offense to watch all year.

NBA won't be accused of extending Nuggets-Suns series for ratings purposes.
Such a weak Flagrant 2/ejection

That's some weak ***** Clearly a foul, but he was going for the ball (and got it) not the head.

Y'all see how quickly Booker allowed that conflict to be broken up? Looked right into Jokic's eyes and saw nothing but Yugoslavian war crimes. He didn't want those kind of problems.

Since the Phoenix Suns trailed the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers 109-95 2-1 in the first round, they have won 7 consecutive playoff games, including 4 road games, and 5 of them by 14+ points. The Suns will be well rested when facing either the Utah Jazz or Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

Always be wary of people doing things it doesn't look like they should be able to do. A doughy ground-bound center doesn't win an MVP unless he's wired different. Better be real sure "different" isn't 300 pounds of country strong Serbian with the will to crush enemies and hear the lamentations of their women.

If that had been against LeBron, he would have been banned for life.

The foul looks a lot worse than it actually was. Got an awful lot of ball.

It doesn't even really look that bad. It's easily clear he's going for the ball and not hacking at this face. If the nose isn't touched on the way down, it's not even a flagrant 1, only a common foul.

If the Clippers defeat the Jazz, the Suns would have home court advantage in the Western Conference finals. I believe the Suns will beat either the Jazz or the Clippers and even the eastern conference champion.

While I acknowledge Chris Paul's greatness, he's still one of my least favorite players.

Flopping used to be a way to make sure you get the call when you get fouled. Chris Paul is one of the players who turned it into one of the most important ways to score in the modern NBA.

The moment where I really turned on him was in New Orleans when he walked up next to someone during a time out and then threw himself to the floor to get a tech called. The other player didn't touch him and didn't know he was there.

He also routinely does things like maneuver in front of other players when he's bringing the ball up the court and then stops so they'll run into him. It's smart, but it's not an attempt at a basketball play.

Paul might be the smartest player of all time, but there's something slimy about how he manipulates the rules.

Jokic's brother looks like the guy Jokic hires to steal your car, destroy your house, and kill your puppy.

Bucks had this one and gave it away, along with the series probably.

Like Chuck said at halftime, Milwaukee has got to be the dumbest team by having miss matches and not taking advantage of it. He also said they should have been up by 24 points at the half.

You want to believe in Milwaukee, but you can't completely trust them. When the game got tight, I had no thought of them winning. They don't have a killer, and Durant can be a killer. He certainly was tonight.
