Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Don't disagree he should hit more but the shots he takes have a lower probability to go in anyway.

Steph on shots to tie/take lead in final 2 minutes of playoff games:

Duncan: 45.3% eFG
Kobe: 39.7% eFG
KD: 38.5% eFG

This can't be explained away. Someone as good as him offensively needs to make a higher percentage of these.

It looks like they televised another one of those Nuggets/TWolves games again. Big mistake.

What a joke of a collapse by the Wolves. Wow. They had that game wrapped up and now they're going to OT. I'd be shocked if they pulled it out at this point.

Edwards is a freak. But god damn Minnesota is a frustrating team. They do some dumb dumb shit.

KC_Connection · 04-23-2023, 10:24 PM

Nuggets in 5 it is.

What do you mean? It was an incredible game.

It certainly delayed the inevitable.

Won't happen with a team that blows a 12 point lead in the final minute and a half like that. Won't happen with a team with KAT.

Most likely, but you were suggesting that it shouldn't be televised. Why wouldn't they want to televise a game as great as that?

A game as great as that? Denver sleptwalk through the entire thing and nearly won anyway because they knew they could. The TWolves blew both a 12 point lead in a minute and a half in regulation and then nearly blew a 7 point lead at the end of overtime in about the same amount of time. They were only barely saved from elimination by a made Anthony Edwards contested three.

All of this is leading to a blowout in game 5.

It's still more fire than I expected to see from the Wolves at any point.

They really do appear to have packed it in.

And your precious SGA wouldn't have even gotten to game 5 if he were in that position.

It's not my fault that this series objectively sucks and that you don't want to admit it.
