Sucks a lot for Dame, who I love to watch, and if Giannis is playing, that can turn a series. But Pacers ECF is now officially in play and it's a good lesson to always try to field the best team you can vs prepping for a better potential future that's unlikely to arrive.

Who I smoke...
Bradley
Who I smoke...
KD

The thing to remember about KD is he makes decisions, including shot selection, on vibes. The Suns do not have good enough vibes and if he picks them it's doomed to fail

I think the Durant trade will ultimately be worse than the Gobert trade by a significant order of magnitude

James Jones looks like he wants to join witness protection

Spun the block on pat bev to make sure there was no pulse

Tyrese Haliburton has hit two game-winners over PatBev since PatBev started tracking his Haliburton receipts.

Perfect for... Sweeps week.

Suns and Lakers should play a consolation series. Put it on Roku TV or Mubi or something.

I'm all in on KAT finally too. He still has some quirks but on a complete team like this his skill set is just like a cheat code. Even if he has an off game of two, in a 7-game series, he's just a matchup nightmare.

Yup. Super legal. Main angle was weird and appeared he may have gathered earlier but he didn't and this is very clean, just slow and seemed like he might Fred Flintstoned. But just two, slow, lumbering steps.

KD washed, say it aint so

Absolute electricity Tyrese Haliburton

The Clippers are Clippering again

It's gotta be a unanimous whistle or the foul wasn't taken seriously enough. I was ASSAULTED and everyone should not just simultaneously make the call but also write a formal, notarized apology to my mother.

It's great that Luka plays with one sleeve cut off to look even more like a dirt bag as he effortlessly drops 40

My favorite NBA thing is when a player is starting to complain about a foul right as the ref is calling the foul... then they continue performatively complaining — with even more emphasis — like the foul call, I guess, wasn't whistled emphatically enough.
