OKC is so fun to watch with their ball movement and great offensive players. I feel like I'm watching UCONN. I hope they win it this year even though I think it is going to be Denver who wins it.

SGA’s game is so smooth and fun to watch.

Maxey pushed off but I have no problem with letting that go, guys get away with that a lot at the end of games. Just a total freak out by Maxey, he pushed Hart and then couldn't catch the ball and fell over. That reversal by the refs on Lowry fouling DiVincenzo was interesting, he grabbed Donte's arm.

Hawkins in the game for the Pels down 29 with 5 min left.

Hawkins with an air ball. Played better D on Wiggins the second time he tried to drive on him with good hands.

5 mins once a month nice development. Pelicans and Bucks are done. Hoping Pelicans move on from Zion and Bucks move on from Doc

Not even close and his brothers give you another glimpse into why that's so.

Promotes gambling, totally blase approach to reporter questions often with unneeded attitude, admits to being bored with the game and would rather be with his horses. I know several Serbs who really don't like him. Doncic is much more likeable.

Why are you comparing Jokic with Doncic?

Crazy comp. Don’t have issues with Jokic as a person, but I’d personally rather not see him win if he’s going to act like it means nothing to him.

Those KG, Kobe, 2016 Bron moments are really cool to see. I don’t want a guy talking about how he wants to get to his horses after winning the most prestigious trophy in the sport.

It’s nearly impossible to be the best at your craft and be well liked. That goes for any sport and any profession, acting, music etc.

True. Also, many geniuses didn't love the trappings of fame.
Brian Wilson left the road after his big freakout and stayed in bed for a decade.
Miles Davis turned his back to the audience.
JD Salinger and many other writers were veritable shut ins.
And fwiw, I thought it was pretty badass that Ricky Williams played football only because he was great at it but he'd rather puff herb, meditate and do yoga.

Everybody is different, everyone handles success or failure differently. It’s no different from people we know personally. I really don’t care that Jokic wants to ride Serbian horses I mean who cares.

I care to watch Jokic play basketball that’s it. I could care less about an anthletes off the court interests, so long as they’re not doing bad things to other people.

I too thought what Ricky Williams was awesome and can’t blame him either, taking a beating and being essentially your teams offense facing 8 men in the box 16 games a year.

Embiid is very unenjoyable to watch

He's one of the most skilled centers in the history of the NBA, but decides to throw himself to the ground every time somebody sneezes in his direction instead of just dominating whoever's in front of him

If it was a regular season game he probably gets thrown out for that stunt he pulled on Mitchell Robinson, grabbing a guy by his legs while in the air and trying to pull him down is reckless as hell.

Seriously. VERY dangerous play. On the next possession he had the ball and just dove into Robinson's legs. Then accidentally kicked him in the groin later in the game. Poor Mitch lol

Doesn't matter what type of energy the Lakers come out with, they get walked down by the Nuggets every time

Yep, I don't really see anyone beating the Nuggets to be fair to the Lakers. The Nuggets are going back to back.

They’re inevitable. They run such good plays and have shotmakers that the Lakers just don’t.

Amongst other things, Ham is getting his D kicked in by Malone. It’s like Hurley vs Cooley
