This play in game should definitely be interesting

I like the play in concept. I think Memphis forces a game tomorrow.

I don't know if I ever hated a player more by just looking at him than Grayson Allen.

Memphis zero fts in 4th with 2:39 left. Portland with over 10.

When he was injured earlier in the year and wearing a blazer/sweater combo my wife and I started referring to him as the smartest dressing lesbian in the NBA. Now we just call him Ellen whenever he is on the court.

But, all that said, he has been one of the pleasant surprises of the bubble. He has played very well. Gotta give him props when he deserves them. Hit a ton of 3s and also drove the ball, played defense, expanded minutes. This is a guy who a year ago looked like he would be out of the league after his contract expired.

Not sure we should be tripping over ourselves to praise Grayson Allen.

I was really looking forward to a healthy Celtics-Sixers series. Nuggets-Jazz, Thunder-Rockets, and Lakers-Blazers should be the best of the 1st round bunch.

not so sure about Nuggets-Jazz. Denver has looked good with the emergence of MPJ and to a lesser extent Tako Fall. They're without Will Barton, but don't appear to be missing him too much. On the other hand, Utah doesn't look so hot without Bogdonavich. Plus Conley just left the bubble yesterday to have a baby. He'll be back , but will have to quarantine for 4 days so who knows how much of the series he will be around for.

I wouldn't be surprised if Denver made quick work of Utah.

I'm hoping LAC vs DAL is a great series, but there's a chance LAC could run over those guys as well. Not a great matchup for Luka with PG and KL taking turns defending him all series.

Very good game between Denver and Utah. Jamal Murray and Mitchell are going at it down the stretch. Mitchell has about 50.

Denver is having a hard time handling dribble penetration for the second year in a row. With Porter Jr and Jokic on the floor not to mention Murray, Mitchell is making mincemeat out of them on D

This game is giving me '09 Bulls-Celtics vibes.

Wonder how much Mitchell's eight second violation factored into the loss. Up four with less than two minutes. Then you take your time walking it up the court and all of a sudden Murray drills a three in your face. Big turnover.

That probably was the biggest play of the game.

Best performance by someone from Mitch and Murray since Alec Baldwin's Always Be Closing speech.

Interesting to see MPJ get benched in the second half and OT. He was a turnstyle on defense and wasn't hitting shots.


Also, Jokic completely wilted in the second half and OT. Looked like he wanted nothing to do with the basketball.

these two east games today are garbage. No Simmons? No thank you. Looking forward to the main event tonight. Luka's playoff debut vs a stacked Clippers team. I think Harrell is back tonight.

Guess defense isn't played in the NBA anymore....a period toward the end of the half in the Denver / Utah game very reminiscent of a game at the Y

Doncic is going to struggle against the Clippers. All league Defensive guys at his position.

Dont think that’s true. He’s too good for that already.
