Can’t wait until next summer when Detroit has 40m in cap space and I no longer have to see Hayes shoot 15% from the field as the sixth man.

 

I’m so sorry - I was terribly wrong about Donovan Mitchell

 

I had a feeling this is how the Bucks game was gonna go tonight after Detroit played them really well on Monday - caught our attention

 

JB needs to draw up something better than that.

 

Celtics cavs is insane man

 

who doesn’t love free basketball

 

this game is so fun

 

Me, grumpily waiting for the Grizzlies game to start knowing I'll be asleep before halftime anyway lol

 

9 pm start was already rough

 

Oh thank god they started it on espn2 I can stop whining lol

 

absolutely get this lmao

 

would like to warmly extend a good evening to fans of 7-0 basketball teams

 

Hideous shot selection from Ja just now

 

Cavs in six, motherfuckers

 

Cavs look incredible, hope they can keep it up in the playoffs

 

It’s nice being able to unambiguously root for Mitchell without having to also want good things to happen to the Jazz or Rudy lol

 

7-0 baby

 

Travel. NBA is an unserious product

 

I agree for sure….but go Heat lol.

The refs will never call most travels though, plus it would make the game unwatchable until players adjusted. Like it’s insane how often players get away with 3+ steps on dunks and layups. Compared to others it was it was at least passable on live viewing to me.

 

Oh no that is so much worse than someone taking an extra step into a dunk, he picked up his dribble, pumped and was smothered then moved both feet to get a better look at the shot. There's no chance he makes that if he doesn't travel its a really really bad missed call with a ref 3 feet from him staring at his feet

 

The thing is they have been calling more travels and carry this week, not just Poole but saw a bunch in the Celtics game tonight so i feel like that one’s gotta be called

 

oh this angle is so bad lmao joke league

 

heat culture means committing fraud

 

Lol ok. When you pick the ball up on the dribble you can jump and land on both feet and either can be a pivot. He barely picked up the left after he pivoted on it which they missed obviously, but how that is worse than an entire 3rd step on a dunk that likely takes most players at least 1-2 feet closer to the basket?

I’m not saying it’s not a travel but you cannot say one is worse then the other.
