Big 3's by a scrub bailing them out. But still time on the clock.

Gobert is so so bad. That has to be the worst trade since OKC dealt Harden, maybe even worse.

Well if we take care of business on Tuesday, we’ll have the same rest as Denver. Denver would’ve had 5 days off if they won tonight.

5 days off is a lot, maybe too much. It's good to avoid potential injury from playing a game, but the rust factor is real in game 1 when having that much time off.

That worked out perfectly for us. OT and the series extended.

I was toggling between Kings-Oilers and this game, and you could tell how badly Gobert's teammates didn't want to pass him the ball in crunch time. He's out there setting picks and rolling and every time they had no choice but to give it to him, he biffed it on way or another. Brutal player to have on the floor late in close games.

He made me look bad calling out his corner 3 in regulation..he nailed two huge ones.

NAW is SGA’s cousin. Played at Virginia Tech?…was in the same draft as Cam Johnson. I kinda liked him back then. Big guard, but his on ball stuff hasn’t developed. Started with New Orleans, ended up in Utah in the CJ trade last year and then came to Minny with Conley in the DLo trade.

That travel was rough. He really is just a longer and annoying version of Biyombo
