Thunder looking good. But honestly, without SGA, they would still be just fine, they have enough other horses. So far a mini playoff slump for SGA - shooting 33% overall and 23% from 3 point land.

Against the Grizz yes, but I have a feeling come WCF and especially the Finals vs likely the Cavs or Celtics, they will need SGA to be the fountain of scoring efficiency he has been all year.

I’ll admit It is pretty wild just how deep their talent goes though. Nice to see them back at full strength health wise. They’re a fun squad and I hope they keep their core together as many years as possible.

Would you look at that...

No terrible FVV chucking up godawful shots...and Houston is up by 10 after 1

Amazing!

I am just making mental notes. Pavers - Bucks Friday. All the competitive playoff series, conveniently Thursday.

And f--- those deer hunter or whatever camo and florescent orange guys. I don't care if they're rooting for my team. That's a disrespectful way to attitude a rival in a fun match between a franchise in dissolution and possible Giannis suitors.

I can imagine Giannis wanting to experience life in Indy, but only if Nesmith, Quentin, Pascal, and Myles are there to vibe with. I don't actually know how the team would solve that financially. Can't go trading Haliburton (?).

This warmup series has been such a nice ramp up to the inevitable Cavs second round. With that series, as an outsider, I wouldn't know which team to root for. Cavs are a total Pacers stan.

Jeff Teague says Pacers are... continued in appropriate thread.

blackvodka · 04-24-2025, 12:17 AM

Jalen Green must've heard everyone calling him out. Great response after a game 1 dud.

The Heat are a team that if they can get one more guy, they could potentially make a real run next year.

Nomad · 04-24-2025, 12:22 AM

I watched a couple minutes of Houston - Warriors. Just seeing Dillon chilling on the bench flexing his muscles sent chills down my spine as a GS fan. Team has plenty of momentum at this point, even though tied 1-1.

Jimmy butler’s fall was nasty. If he can’t return at 100%, it’s going to be tough for GS to win.

Lebron and his children would have been admitted to the ICU had he had a fall like that

Bosoxfan5990 · 04-24-2025, 08:06 AM

No Tatum, no problem.

Definitely tough, not only is he the second-best player on the Dubs, he's also the second-best player in the GSW-HOU series.

Losing someone like that, even for a couple games (possibly for the entire series), is a massive loss for the GSW (and a massive gain for HOU).

Nomad · 04-24-2025, 11:34 AM

Wow, so that gloating and muscle flexing was in the aftermath of a vicious hit on Butler by Amen.

Wait, Draymond pushed Thompson. Figures.

These clowns gonna cut a nice series short.

JRX · 04-24-2025, 12:58 PM

If Knicks lose tonight I can see the players quitting to get Thibs fired.

Nope, look again. That was the rhetoric afterward but Amen wasn’t pushed

There was no push, Amen was sandwiched between Steven Adams and Draymond, wanted to go for the rebound, and tripped over Steven's leg

Just an unlucky series of events

tjforce · 04-24-2025, 09:18 PM

The JB Bickerstaff ride continues.

Still can't draw up an inbounds play.

Oh sure Amen just wanted to throw and use his head to knock down Butler…….get real dude. DRaymond is the only person Warriors need to blame. Or blame Kerr for keeping him around. Either way Amen did nothing and thank goodness he wasn’t also hurt due to Draymond’s erratic actions (he doesn’t play he just acts out there).

blackvodka · 04-24-2025, 10:34 PM

The Clippers just look like the better team rn.

Akphillips86 · 04-24-2025, 11:01 PM

This Grizz/Thunder game is absolutely wild. It’s midnight and I gotta wake up at 5 tomorrow and go teach middle schoolers, but I can’t stop watching. Tomorrow will be interesting…

So much deja vu in Memphis. Thought I was watching late season Indy for moment, down 15 and knowing they will prolly be ahead by mid 4th.

That said, want to see Grizz steal one and feel OKC can be beaten.

ninjabum87 · 04-24-2025, 11:05 PM

Does Bane always just chuck these horrible threes like he's Steph?

Nomad · 04-24-2025, 11:15 PM

Like he's Edey. Wow. OKC trying to gift this one. No dice.

They're lost right now without Ja their creator.

Add in the friendly whistle for OKC and they're really struggling.

What a junky series

Nomad · 04-24-2025, 11:26 PM

Any important game Ja will twist his ankle. He's still in the mode I used to associate with Haliburton. Wincing in advance.

Really wishing I had the money to invest in Ja back in the day. Never thought I would see the unheralded outlast.

blackvodka · 04-25-2025, 12:56 AM

The Clips dominated Denver tonight. I'm not sure the Nuggets win another game.

Clippers are an actual title contender. Nuggets are not.

Could see this coming from a mile away.
