If you look up ball stopper there's a picture of RJ Barrett. if the Cavs win it will be entirely because of Barrett holding the ball and then burping up bad shots or turning it over

Jabari Smith just ain’t close to what people thought he was gonna be.

I see the Lakers started Austin Reaves tonight. Uncertain why they didn’t do that in their previous game.

For those who don’t think that Game 7 against the Mavs was that memorable of a humiliating loss… someone obviously thinks otherwise. As do most Suns fans:

Kawhi's shot, Barrett's shot.. this is the kind of stuff that 5000 years ago would end up being folk lore and attributed to some goofy god.

That said, if the Raptors win the title I will unequivocally believe there is a God of Basketball and I will embark on a journey to Toronto to find out how to appeased the almighty.

To ancient man Lebron and Luke freaking Kennard - the journeyman 3 point spot up shooter??? You do realize Grayson is better than him right?

Amen Thompson and Sengun are far better players. Eason, Sheppard, and Jabari Smith are decent spot up 3 pt shooters. This shouldn't be hard post Sengun, or have Thompson drive and kick. They should easily beat the G-league Lakers.

I love the idea of a Durant-less Rockets coming back and beating LA, only for Durant to return in round 2, get smothered by the OKC D and get swept out.

The Lakers get embarrassed and so does KD, the best of outcome imaginable.
I realize that hate clouds one’s vision, but these are a couple REALLY bad takes.
Thanks for the laughs guys.

Was rooting for Rockets over Fakers and Magic over Pistons but you know... The show must go on.

The Los Angeles Lakers are currently 16-point underdogs in Game 1 at the Oklahoma City Thunder.

➡️That would be the biggest underdog LeBron James has ever been in a playoff game in his career

Previous high was +12.5 with Cavs in Game 1 of 2018 NBA Finals (vs. GS)

Tatum tore his Achilles less than a year ago and he’s been playing for 2 months. Not surprising he’s dealing with issues on the opposite leg now.
