Hubie Brown is a fucking national treasure. He's the only reason the tv isn’t on mute right now.

Welp. Only one game, coach needs to emphasize it's only one game.

Yep. If it’s same deal in Game 2 that’s still the message. Haven’t done shit yet. Just held serve and did what you’re supposed to winning home games.

Keep sucking that Phoenix Suns dick.

LOL.

Doesn't make a difference to me if they win or lose the series.

A road team losing game 1 in a best of 7 series will never be a big deal to me

Still early?

Asking for a friend.

It’s one game, so yes

 

[DJ]

Phoenix killed on the boards, 45-24.

Yeah didn't know this was March Madness.

Home team did what they had to do

Not surprising

Pardon me while I go root for the Knicks now. I want nothing to do with an embiid sixers team, so if anyone can somehow rid the playoffs of this team, I'm all for it.

Just glad Edwards seems to be showing his playoffs last year was not a fluke.

The suns live and die by the three. When they are hitting, the are unstoppable, when they are missing, anyone can beat them. Their record is what it is for a reason. I'm going with wolves in 7, but that's because I'm a homer.

Wolves are the better team. I wouldn't call you a Homer for predicting a series win from them.

The wolves are the better team but the Phoenix suns remind me a ton of the 94-95 rockets team. That team won 47 games, was a six seed, and won the NBA championship. They live and die by the three and when they are hitting, they can't be beaten due to their athleticism, when they aren't hitting, they can be beaten by anyone.

Either team can win the series, but I like the Wolves chances a whole lot more. They're the better team and that defense is so damn good, you just know they can make the Suns struggle with their shot.

He has the talent and experience now. No excuses. The team goes as far as he takes them. I’m not saying championship this year but I think it is definitely a possibility. First time since KG

 

[Stakesarehigh]

This will fucking suck if he's hurt.

Um that Rockets team didn’t live and die by the three

Cassell, Kenny the jet, Mario Elly, Robert horry? Dude. What are you drinking? Their entire run relied on three point shooting.

They probably didn’t even need Hakeem

It was the 90s nobody shot 3s like today

Hakeem was the ultimate facilitator. Dump it to him, you gotta double or triple him, he kicks it out, they drain a three. Check yourself msg, I have that entire playoffs on dvs and watched it constantly.
