Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

BWillie says they’re the best NBA team of all time though.

*regular season NBA team

Can't be the Bills and score 50 against patsies and then crumble when you get into the playoffs every year

It took a dirty cheap shot by Dort knocking Ja out of the game for OKC to win this game. Disgraceful. They won't survive against the Clippers in R2.

[POND_OF_RED]

Dort saves the series with 2 points and a bush league undercut that saved them in this series. Such a French Canadian stat line.

[RollChiefsRoll]

Dort is such a piece of shit.

"Choker" team up 3-0.

I didn't think it was dirty at all. He was playing D and he slipped. Just unfortunate for Morant.

He knows that. Hell, they reviewed it and determined precisely that. Common foul.

A disgrace to the game of basketball. Flopping all over the court and engaging in cheap shots regularly.

I was told lies.

2nd biggest playoff comeback in almost 30 years?

Are you not entertained?

Shai hasn't even played well yet. He's pacing himself for when he's needed.

Bush league? He lost his balance cuz Pippen or whoever threw the ball behind him for no reason. And then Ja was just there. Nothing bush league about it. Awkward because the lead of the break was too scared to shoot.

Watch it again.

Everyone in studio also did not believe there was anything dirty about it.

Usually people fall over when they lose their balance. They don’t make themselves bigger and swat at the flying player in the air without any attempt to play the ball. It’s essentially the Draymond flagrant. Technically allowed in the rule book, but with his history of dirty bullshit no one’s going to believe there wasn’t actually malicious intent there. Sad to see all that momentum stopped by a little French Canadian Draymond who didn’t contribute anything of real value to the game. The Grizzlies should just use Kawamura to hack a Dort in game 4.
