    I salute you, sir - that is some Olympic-level grudge-holding.

    A little something called "defense". I understand that, as a Portland fan, you will be unfamiliar with this concept, but I understand it really does help.

    I am surprised to see that TV viewership is down. There are some great matchups. Denver/LA, Dallas/Clippers, Bucks/Pacers. Knicks/Sixers, MN/Phoenix

    If somebody on OUR team did that, they’d blame Chauncey!

    TV viewership is down because streaming on devices is WAY up.

    I’m wondering how the Lakers and LeBron can call out the officials after the game after losing a 20 point lead and after James took and missed a wide open three pointer?
    Seems like that game was called about as even as any game played this season?

    Exactly.

    Maxey nearly lost the ball right on the inbounds pass. That's on Nurse. The possessions had turned into scrums.

    Which makes it all the more mystifying that Maxey or anyone else didn't call a timeout when he fell to the floor with full control of the ball On His Opponents' End Of The Court.

    Instead he made one of the dumbest and costliest decisions... to roll the ball on the ground?

    The Pels need to win game 2 if they want any chance to stretch this series out.

    the casinos shaved a point off the Minnesota spread. Objects in the mirror are closer then they appear. Maybe Bol Bol will have a big night?

    At this point, I'm really curious to see if any of the lower seeds will win a road game. We still haven't seen a road victory since the first play-in game.

    https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/sport...ed-in-dominant-showing-early-in-nba-playoffs/

    I wonder what the leaguewide consecutive home playoff wins record is.

    Denver had to give up Gary Harris, a not good rookie named Hampton, AND next summer's FRP to get Aaron.

    OMgosh, Denver traded a pick. That's so stupid. Trading picks to win games never works. Losing a ton with a "rebuilding" sticker on the logo is what all teams should start doing.

    Phoenix is falling apart already, 8-0 Wolves. Vogel needs timeout

    Suns finally scored on a lucky shot. Hey, at least they're on the board.
