Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

Michael Jordan retired a long time ago. The goat was not on the court. I got LeBron 5th after Big shot Bob.

They’re weaker than last year but they’re only really vulnerable if Murray gets more hurt. The combo of him and Jokic is effectively unstoppable if they can do that against AD this series (one of the best defensive players in NBA history).

Jokic is gonna destroy Rudy and Gordon will slow down Edwards a lot more than anybody could on Phoenix. Can’t see them getting more than a game barring injury.

All good. It's just basketball.

LeBron final 2024 playoff averages:

27.8 PPG - 6.8 RPG - 8.8 APG - 2.4 SPG - 1.0 BPG - 63.7% TS - 26.9 PER

The best. Ever.

It’s gonna suck if NBC steals TNT’s rights away this year (a very real possibility) and we lose Inside.

It's really really cute you think the Lakers are just as good as the Wolves. They're not.

Minnesota is the only team in the West with the interior size to occasionally challenge Denver. They won't beat them, and Jokic will still dominate, but they'll do a hell of a lot better job than the ****ing Lakers.

Lakers as good as the TWolves? No.

Do they pose a marchup problem that they don’t because of how good a post/PnR defender AD is? Absolutely.

Jokic is gonna have his way with the rest of the league as he always does. It won’t be pretty.

For the Nuggets being such an amazing team, every game was a barn burner vs the Lakers.

[Katipan]

King James got into a shouting match with a chick at courtside. Hot tiny chick. While he was at the line. Like they were at the George Brett statue.

That was a top 10 sports night for me. 🥰

AD and LeBron were really good in that series, which pushed it to that point. Was the best/most consistent effort they’ve gotten out of AD over a full playoff series in a while too.
