I like when they get down the list to Mobley and they’re like alright Fuck it…just tell the truth on that one.

I was thinking the same thing. I think one or two of those is accurate

I also have the Cavs as long as Allen is healthy and out there. Cavs haven’t been in full strength in any of the Knicks head to heads this year. Randle’s ankle won’t be 100% even if he plays. I think Mobley is built to cover that guy and that becomes even more pronounced in a 7 game series. Brunson may will them to a win or 2 as he has a good matchup vs Garland or Mitchell. I see Cavs in 5 or 6 but offer the caveat that I assume Cavs will be healthy. Thibs teams don’t have an extra gear defensively in the playoffs because they play that way all year round. Meanwhile, when playoff defensive intensity shows up, like everybody else, the half court O takes a bit of a step back.

Yeah, healthy Cavs should pull this off.

I like their length against Randle.

It also helps that he becomes completely UNGLUED when frustrated.

But, Brunson is pretty good.

If he, Quickley, RJ get it going, could be a dog fight.

Gonna be tough. NY seems to have more depth and shooting but depth means less in the playoffs. It seems like the Knicks are playing fine w/o Randle. Not sure if I can say better but they aren't missing a beat. The series worries me but I would rather play them than the Heat bc of playoff Butler.

Knicks are solid.

But, Mitchell is a killer.

You should win the front court battle, even with Randle getting buckets.

Mitchell Robinson looked really promising.

But, he just isn’t dependable.

As long as your others give you something and Allen is healthy, I got Cavs in 6.

Oh man

Like a blind man, he walked right into that one…lol

I wonder what the odds are that the Goatum dude shows back up for the playoffs?

……..and here we go again.

You gotta pay these Dudes.

So, when Kyrie bolts, will it be his father’s fault too?

But Cuban was noncommittal when asked if the Mavs could be outbid for Irving in free agency this summer. “I don’t know,” Cuban said. “I guess there’s always too high a price, depending, but now with the new CBA, it’s a different world.”

While the deal hasn’t paid dividends — Dallas is 8-15 since Irving joined the team — Cuban expressed a strong desire to keep Irving in Dallas. “I’d love to have him st…

Poor Zeke.

Gotta stop taking the bait and waiving his fist at the clouds.

It’s like every time he starts gaining a shred of credibility he brings it up again.

Does Cuban really think saying this stuff is going to make anyone else want him?

Nope.
Knicks in six.
Plus, it rhymes.

Oh, that was just one of his tweets.

He’s a dog with a bone this morning.

He thinks it only a business when the money comes out of his pockets.

That Brunson thing was revisionist history.

They chose to pay DFS and declined to give Brunson the 55 mil offer.

Now it’s his daddy’s fault he took double elsewhere?

He’s doing the same thing with Wood too.

But lots of pointing every time he made a shot…lol

Wait…

And there was no brawl afterwards?

No way.

 

[tlance]

Suns cant be that dumb to play the last game of the regular season with a seed locked in. Just imagine the criticism if one of their big 4 gets hurt.

Again, if they prefer to face the Clippers?

It makes sense.

We will see what they choose to do.
