KAT looks locked in. Pat Beverley seems to have all of Smart’s negative qualities multiplied by 10 and maybe half of his elite qualities

I'm Bane, yes, that's my name
When you hear the name Bane, I guarantee the pain
I'm coming after you, Bruce Wayne
I'm stronger, smarter, and clinically insane

The playoffs this year remind me a bit of 2012 when you could feel the transition from the KG/Kobe/Duncan generation to Lebron/Durant/Wade (and GSW to follow).

It sounds crazy but would the Grizz be better off trading Morant for a monster package of picks? Are they better when he doesn't play?

local television showed the whole protest, apparently the first fan was a diversion so that another could confront Taylor himself?

Taylor picked the one good Timberwolves season in the last decade during which to mass murder his livestock. Not great timing.
I've watched this a few times and I'm blown away by how quick the first security guard reacts to the first person running onto the floor. I suppose they are supposed to stop them from even reaching the floor, but you can see almost immediately when the person stands up from their seat on the second row, they are pounced on by the security guard.

Another chicken protest!

EDIT: amazing reaction time by the closest security guard
The security guard was watching them like a hawk

If you look at who the Bucks are running out there alongside Giannis and True, it's just not a very talented group. Chicago has trouble exposing this since they have multiple garbage defenders, but this is as vulnerable as a Giannis team has been in awhile imo.

Why were those primo seats in Minny empty?
Beginning of the second half and I assume the Target Center like most modern arenas has a club area in which courtside ticket holders can mingle at halftime. I noticed Spike Lee and his guest were the only two fans in a sea of empty seats to start the third quarter in Brooklyn last night.

The Bulls are who we thought they were... A bad team that made the playoffs by beating exclusively other bad teams


Edit also people got fooled by that 1 game of Derozan hitting a bunch of crazy shots... He's still a deeply flawed player once you get to the playoffs.

Wiggins still doing Wiggins things. Takes god awful heavily contested fall away while leaving 6 seconds on the clock for Denver to try and score. I have a feeling this game isn’t over yet.

Man, people like to (rightfully) rag on some of the Celtics guys for whining. But the Warriors are nonstop.

Zach Zarba crew officiating and another disjointed game with way too many fouls. He’s been more visible than a lot of the players in Round 1

Its mostly Draymond. The guy is a great player and his basketball IQ is out of this world but god I hate watching him.
He fucking aggressively whines about literally everything. If he was officiated like any other player (let alone like Boogie Cousins) he would never finish a game because he’d be ejected out of every single one

Wiggins continues to kill the Warriors on both ends. Missing two makeable shots to cut lead inside 5 then slow rotating to stop a layup. Dude is playing like HE has a trip planned for Cancun next week.
