spurs know when to tank and when not to tank

its fundamental

i remain steadfast in my belief that every team should be tanking

if you win it's really a loss if you think about it

fun nuggets vs blazers game with some big shotmaking at the end of the game

Damn sad I missed that game, 15 lead changes in the 4th, incl 5 in the final 45 seconds! Wonder how common that is.

I also love this - Joker just moving the pieces around to where he needs em to be

Jokic calls for defensive three seconds on Nurk, gets him out of paint, goes to work.https://t.co/lvI3b5u0sd pic.twitter.com/tCZu9FdN1k

lol nurk got worked

dats the mvp baby

i just know the jazz are gonna destroy the timberwolves tonight and i can't take it

messssssy ending in philly

davis and reaves go 3/5 on free throws, 5/5 has them winning the game by 2

lmao philly really attempted an epic collapse but the lakers couldnt hit their fts

reaves is 92% on the year and davis has been 12/12 in the game prior to those last two, you can't make this stuff up

lakers 10-1 run last 34 secs

pretty disappointed ad didnt ice there tbh you dont get to see shit like that every day

the thybulle 3-shot foul on reaves was unconscionable, just fucking hacked his forearm

he was trying to foul up 3 but forgot not to do it while reeves was shooting a 3

yup slight minor detail there

Luka gonna have to score 70 tonight

Absolute hero lol

LMAO ZION DOES NOT CARE

Screw the unwritten rules. This guy is a blast pic.twitter.com/8BXXz7qfXK

pels #1 in the west, this feels like a thing

it's a very odd team but the west is a mess so yeah why not

holy shit that dunk

it was playing to the home crowd, who ate it up. and why not?

Bucks only down by 2 despite Giannis having a weird off night

It caused old b***h cp to come out lollll suns so lame sometimes

The Suns didn't appreciate this from Zion.

oh give me a break you can do that at home

Heel v heel

Jose Alvarado won’t refer to Chris Paul by name.

Asked him if it meant more to fight through the rib contusion this game.

“If that person was playing, I’m playing.”

Said he wasn’t going to miss this game.

let chris paul fight zion

hmmm this game just got good

Mavs missed their last 6 FTs and lost by 1 lmao

10-24 from the line! wtf

.730 on the season, Wilt's Warriors shot .640 so I guess they're not historically bad, but...

i don’t understand why luka is a low 70s guy from the line, he should really be a bit better than that

yeah doesnt make sense, his mediocre 3pt% stands to reason since he takes such tough shots but free throws are generally wide open attempts

feel like it might be something with his mental game. he's got this weird "I'm the only sentient person on the court" kinda vibe which causes him to act pretty strangely sometimes. I wonder if he just overthinks it

unwritten rules are for baseball

yeah its silly, especially since he was just putting on a show for the home crowd, or maybe he was trying to style on them idk i didnt watch the game, either way suns should just deal lol

the suns employ two big time shit talkers, they have no grounds here

Such a punk move to get mad at that. Zion’s been in the hospital for like 3 years and a lot of people were starting to suspect he’d just be another generational talent with bad knees and now the Pels are #1 in the West because of him, let him have his moment

everyone loves zion dunks and has no respect for the suns its just the way it is

They also had a very competitive playoff series just a few months ago so would be cool to get a nice little rivalry going

lmao good stuff

that dunk is cool he does the 360 ends up looking at the rim with it cocked all the way back then just slams it home, very nice

huh cj's shooting numbers are well below his usual so maybe they have room to get a bit better too
