The negative effects of Sarver's cheapness are still hurting us.

Without looking at the refs, I’m guessing it’s Scott Foster tonight?

*Looks it up*…yep.

Yeah I noticed this, too. There were a few questionable plays, like one on Pascal Siakam, late in the game that seemed sus to me. "The Extender" strikes again.

BTW, I have probably said it multiple times before, but I really like TJ McConnell. I wish we could get him.

Same, think a few of us have mentioned it… gotta love TJ McConnell. Reminds me a lot of Nash in his earlier years.

He’s good, but he’s a backup point guard. If we tried to start him, it would be like Tyus Jones all over again.

I didn't notice lopsided officiating. They called a foul on Bridges late that was ridiculous due to the way they had been calling all game and allowing physical defense. KAT balled out.

Chris Paul taught the young man well.

Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander unbothered by ‘free-throw merchant’ chants: ‘I don’t care’

I admit I kind of enjoyed seeing the smile get wiped off Edwards face while walking off the court yesterday after his over the top celebrations in our team's faces in (semi) recent playoffs.

Ant is really good, but he still has more room to learn and grow if he really wants to be a champ. I don't know if all the "face of the league" talk has been good for him.

He's a terrible person. I do not wish him well

Haliburton first player in NBA playoff history with 30/10/15/0 turnovers with 32/12/15/0…oh and 4 steals and a +16.

This kid might have actually been worth the 10th pick…hmm.

Amazing game by Haliburton. These playoffs have been really good. Hard to see the Suns miss them, but almost every series and game has been worth watching. I am assuming Indiana / OKC will be a ratings disaster in the Finals though? Gulp.

Not if they're good games. As an NBA fan, I'm glad to see some non-Lakers/Celtics teams in the Finals. I'll be watching.

Same…. I’ve been more tuned in this year than most, especially considering the suns are out. There’s been some great games.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have still never gone to the Finals in their entire franchise history.

I enjoyed watching the T'Wolves get demolished like that. Especially Ant smirking all pre-game like he knew a secret. I had an inkling then that OKC would put a big time ass whoopin' on them.
