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

Someone really needs to tell Russell to stop jacking up stupid shots. Unfortunately that's his entire game.

That was a really impressive half by Denver. They had four guys in double figures.

**dirk digler** · 05-16-2023, 07:59 PM

Oh shit didn’t see that the draft lottery was tonight and the Spurs got #1.

Pop won’t have to retire now

JJ Reddick was talking today that when playing in Pile High you feel the worst in the 1st and 3rd quarters. So far that is how it is playing out for the Lakers.

Without reading the thread and only seeing the score in the 3rd, let me guess, kcc is blaming LeBron's teammates for not being good enough.

It's incredible that anybody watched Jokic this year and thought he wasn't the best player in the league. He's so far and above anyone else right now.

I heard in a podcast that they’re trying to push the narrative that he’s not as tall as they measured.

usually it’s the other way.

Love that Lebron is backing down more. He should do that more

None of the Lakers have been good enough. No defensive effort for nearly the entire game.

Well, he did actively do as little as possible for the better part of a month. The NBA will always lean away from that because it behoves them.

Now, Embiid was dinged up and Jokic is healthy so there’s that.

All depends on how much energy he has, it seems. If he could have the ball all the time like most of his career, he would definitely do it.

Jokic doing as little as possible is still posting triple doubles in his sleep though. He's one of the greatest offensive players in basketball history and I'm still not sure that has been fully appreciated by most.

**dirk digler** · 05-16-2023, 08:30 PM

Ha ha

KC_Connection · 05-16-2023, 08:30 PM

So is that Jokic or Steph Curry?

Steph Curry isn't that clutch though I guess.

Jesus Christ.

What a goddamn monster.
