Tier talk is cool and all but at the end of the day, the Nuggets just squared up the regular season series with the Thunder 2-2 and in what was basically a playoff rehearsal just stole homecourt.

Nice little gameplan devised overnight to 'limit' SGA and it worked well despite Dumper Dort drilling 8 triples.

The West is wide open fellas

The playoffs would be fun, all I got to say. If they were played today, before the inevitable injuries dominate the headlines. There is a good argument for, not a shorter game, but shaving 12 games off the season.

Dame gonna tank my parlay...20 points, come on chump

Nets'll catch you slipping if you're not taking the game seriously

Happened to the rockets twice this season

Nomad · 03-11-2025, 08:00 PM

Nice game Bucks and Pacers brewing....

ninjacookies · 03-11-2025, 08:52 PM

Clips are so laughably bad on the road. Haven't covered a single road game in their last 10 attempts.

cdub6238 · 03-11-2025, 08:56 PM

Nembhard lol

Clanks 2 dumb 3s and misses fts to tie lmao

kipgen · 03-11-2025, 09:00 PM

Another disappearing act from haliburton

edit: spoke too soon lol

Nomad · 03-11-2025, 09:00 PM

Meanwhile Nesmith can't sniff the ball. I don't get how they haven't adjusted their end game strategy at all over the year.

Ok Haliburton just happened.

cdub6238 · 03-11-2025, 09:03 PM

Giannis....what an idiot

coltsnsox07 · 03-11-2025, 09:06 PM

D'oh!

Nomad · 03-11-2025, 09:16 PM

That's one take. The more common (booster) ones:

"Game of the year right there! What an ending! Hali had to turn on the clutch gene with Reggie in the building! LFG!"

"Game of the year on national television"

"Take back everything I said"

"You're supposed to beat this team"
Shaq is talking like we're a scrub team. We're literally 1 game a part.

jquadman
"Top 5 shots in Pacer history. Effing insane."

letsgototraderjoes
"AND IT'S NOT 5"

Jesus you just can't help yourself can you

WHO said it was a bad game....I'll give you a clue, nobody that posted here..

Only you would take people calling Giannis an idiot for fouling and try and twist it some other way

ninjacookies · 03-11-2025, 10:36 PM

Today was a sobering reminder that Khris Middleton plays for the Wiz.

I can't even fathom the pain.

drobfan8 · 03-11-2025, 10:53 PM

Nets on a b2b vs the best in the East in CLE and they almost got em. Lol

Shoulda been a 30 point blowout.

Funny how the regular season goes, it's almost as if you shouldn't overreact.

Nomad · 03-12-2025, 12:00 AM

Proof that the hobby is rigged.

If you've noticed, the Cavs are in the midst of a 5 game winning slump, in which they play poorly early and then boat race teams the fourth quarter.

Missing Donovan Mitchell, Deandre Hunter, and Ty Jerome didn't help. Neither did the red hot start Cam Thomas got off to (props to him).

Fun Stats: Darius Garland is now shooting 59% and 57% from 3 on 46 shot attempts in Clutch Minutes. Evan Mobley hasn't been bad either, shooting 73% (on 15 shots).

I fail to see what's to gloat about really...

You "talked down" about the Lakers losing to the Nets..even though they were playing on the road, and were in the game the whole time until last few minutes...

But are happy with the Cavs..who were down through basically 3 quarters at home, to a team on a b2b..and had to.come back and hold on to survive..

I mean a win is a win, and the Lakers loss is a loss..but not sure I'd be thrilled after that game lol

I want to be in so much pain that the entire Bucks G League team is my recovery entourage. I don't see how the Pacers would have withstood Milwaukee with even Portis back. Hope we get Knicks in first round.

Why do people keep ignoring who didn’t play for the Cavs last night and/or their schedule?

Weird

No I just found it weird...that he was talking down about the Lakers losing on the road..by 2..without LeBron, DFS..and 2 other starters in Rui and Hayes..

But the Cavs missing 1 starter..and some bench pieces..struggled at home, against a team on a b2b..that by his previous post "isn't very good"

And I'm not a Lakers Stan either..just weird flex

I like the Cavs, good to see them doing good and it's nice to see fresh teams succeeding...no hate or shade at all to them
