He certainly put in the time over the summer.

So there is no way Grant doesn't play well after two bad ones? Replacing him with a player who has never played in a playoff game (and who has been cold) would not be my first choice.

Perfect example of why making the playoffs was not such a bad thing. All these young guys will benefit from it. But damn, Scoot has risen to the occasion. Two very good playoff games on the road. This will bode well next season.

I agree. However, I guess it is possible that if they blow us out today, they may get overconfident in game two.

Not sad to see them lose

Or exceptionally well.

Jalen Green is 24 KD is 37 I thought it was a stupid trade at the time, and nothing has changed my mind.

I am trying to think about how many city commissioners I have ever trusted or respected in the various cities I have lived in. Not many, and that worries me when it comes to the Blazers.

Probably because we are still all so used to the top 8 eight teams always being assured a 7-game series. Maybe now the mindset should be that only the top 6 make the playoffs. After that, you've got a small chance to make it if you get hot/healthy at the end of the season. I mean, don't most...

I like Booker, and after looking at his contract extension, I would think Phoenix would jump on the chance to be rid of it. Holy shit, 57, 61, 69, and 75 million. That is too much.

Flagrant fouls committed during the NBA Play-In Tournament do not count toward the accumulation of points for suspensions in the playoffs. The Play-In tournament is considered separate from the playoffs, so flagrant points reset to zero for the postseason, preventing play-in fouls from...

So two teams from each conference would get a bye? For how long? Seems like "rust" could factor in.

It's still the same number of teams as before. It's just that you are making the bottom two teams in each conference earn it by winning one home game.

I would like to see them get some experience in this series so they can learn from it. Not sure about trading both guards, though. I can't imagine who would give us a star guard in return, and that is what we would need most. If you are thinking Giannis, we could afford to lose a ball handler...

I can't tell if you are making fun of the Phoenix fan who said the same thing or if you agree with him. (I am guessing you are making fun of him) If the 7th seed goes 0-2 at home against teams below them in the standings, then playing the 2nd seed is going to make for an ugly 7-game series. I...
