The eastern owners will just never agree to any of these changes.

I’d love to add 2 teams and switch to 4 8 team divisions.
Yikes. I don't think there is enough talent to expand the league. I think that would water the product down, not improve it.
You may be right, I think there’s enough talent. The problem is you’d still see the same amount of talent congregating at the top. Nowadays, most of the top teams have 2 or 3 top 30 guys. That would probably still be the case with 2 new teams.

Were they down 20? That’s when it’s the best

Good comeback by Denver. MPJ with 2 in the first half and 19 in the 2nd.

Double OT. Mitchell has been fantastic to end this game, left way too much time on the clock though.

I don't know what a travel is anymore. I say that all the time but it looks like an extra step on that Jokic movie to me. But the way they count a gather step these days when a guy as big as Jokic or Giannis can cover 7 or 8 feet w/ it. Idk.

Whatever foot leaves the ground after picking up the dribble is the first step. You could have just barely lifted your foot, then gathered the ball and you still have two more steps. So nba gives 2.9 steps.

Lol. The key is to go down 20 due to a lack of fundamentals and you continuously falling asleep on D, then do a sick dunk and dance

I was not impressed with Denver's defense today.

I give the refs some credit for overturning the call after Rick Carlisle's challenge, but NBA refs need to be able to get these Giannis offensive fouls right when they happen. It's like they all got together and decided Giannis is incapable of an offensive foul. It is shocking how he is allowed to just run over guys that are in legal guarding position.

Ditto for James Harden's perpetual use of his off arm to create separation.

Crazy how good TJ has been in the bubble. He never seemed to like all the extra stuff that comes with being an nba player(press mostly) it’s probably nice for him to just be able to play basketball. Will be really interesting if this is just a hot streak or an actual leap from him. His numbers during the regular season were about on par with his last year in Phoenix.

Such a bonkers stat line...if he ever gets a little better as a shooter it’s gonna be laughable how good he is. He’s 21 and if you told me he dropped a 40/20/20 game, I’d believe it.
