really not sure any of us are in much of a position to be chiding the others for their opinions on who is a legitimate contender in the western conference now are we................................

;)

the only real finals contenders are the dubs and rockets tbh

adams not donating all his rebounds to a stathound would be cool to see

he cld give them to kyrie and kyrie cld average a triple double

who’s gonna donate him the assists

everyone knows steph is actually the best rebounding pg in the league (ben simmons isnt a pg)

kyrie can get ten assists if he wants

'The young guys don't know what it takes to be assisted.'

lmao

goon = jared dudley?

Stefan Bondy@SBondyNYDN

Jared Dudley dropping gems at media availability: "Ben Simmons is a great player in transition. And once you get him into halfcourt, he's average."

that seems accurate though?

yeah it's 100% accurate

my covers blown

Kevin Durant goes extremely in depth on the Clippers style of defense, the overhelp, why he won’t get caught up in a 1-on-1 battle with Patrick Beverley pic.twitter.com/nOdmTDY4yi

lol sometimes i love kd

that’s so good!

yeah it really is

nice

has thad young always been good at defense?

yeah

I just saw on tv that one of my old fraternity brothers is sitting courtside at the Celtics game. I knew he was doing well for himself but not courtside playoff tickets well.

that last play was too easy what a relief

al horford is a god

lol

incredible final minute by the pacers

Holy shit Pacers what a choke

Wow pacers disrespected the game with that late game execution.

That was a great game for Celtics fans, but kind of fugly if you just wanted to watch some good hoops. I still cant figure out what Wes Matthews thought was supposed to develop on that inbounds. No one was moving to where he threw the ball.

looked like there was a failed screen attempt for bojan and he didn't adjust

And then compounding with an and 1 dunk and another turnover not great

harden is going nuclear

I had to turn off the Rockets v Jazz. Couldn’t bear to watch a murder

guess harden is just having one of those games where he achieves apotheosis

he's a man on a mission. MVP voting is over, but the chip is still in play.

houston is playing great defense too

God how did Utah win 50 games? They have exactly one guy who can consistently get his own shot and he’s 22. I don’t know why the hell I thought this series would be close.

Jazz need some upgrades. Rubio specifically. And ingles is cool but probably more for an iggy type role at this stage of his career

well they need to improve on crowder way more than ingles, ingles can at least start

folks, the rockets are good, and james harden is good

incredible final minute by the pacers

rough rough finish by the pacers after playing such a good game

Rox are good and seem to be peaking and healthy at the right time. And meeting the warriors in the 2nd round is better for them too less opportunities for cp to get hurt and harden to wear down.

wld interested in see the rox go all the way this year tbh rooting for the villain and so forth, cp3 diantoni and harden finally break through

Nah f that

lol

kinda feel like that would unleash hoops satan on the world and im comfortable with keeping them down there

it is fated

jazz are a good defensive team but dont really have the right personnel to play w the rockets, u need to be swarming and athletic

Def a bad matchup for them.
