Are you sure they're against you?...

Eh?

Mavs - 2

Thunder - 1

I think PJ Washington might be the shit.

I didn't think that SOB had another game like that in him. OKC is going to have to adjust their defensive rotations and stop leaving him open in the corner.

Someone else is going to have to leave their man when they double Luka because PJ is destroying them whenever he's left open.

Overall I thought yesterday's game was very entertaining. That game was a throwback to 90s basketball. They are beating the hell out of each other. The Thunder are giving Luka some of that medicine that the Pistons used to give to Jordan.

It was a very physical game and the refs let them play. I liked it.

Also, if you adjust your defensive rotations Luka or Kyrie will kill you.

I'd still double Luka. What I'm saying is whoever is guarding PJ Washington can't leave him wide open to double Luka. I'd send one of the other three defenders.

So far this series Kyrie's taken a backseat to PJ and Luka in the 1st half and has taken over later in the game. I'd try switching things up just to freeze PJ out. OKC can survive Kyrie and Luka getting 30 ppg each.....in fact we expected that coming in. But what can't happen is for a common role player like PJ Washington chipping in 28 ppg as well. That's what's killing them.

PJ broke out very soon after this happened...

He's a solid role player but he is playing WAAAAY over his head right now. Even after joining the Mavs he only averaged roughly 12 ppg.

He's only a 32% shooter from 3-point range but he's hitting 54% of his threes this series on 9 attempts per game. That would be a crazy high rate even for an elite shooter like Steph.

I expect Kyrie to take off at some point.

The Knicks down 28 in the 2nd quarter warms my cold dark heart.

 

[Genghis Khan]

This is the shit I've been talking about all postseason.

The Knicks lost by 32, yet had 31 free throw attempts to the Pacers 8.

The way they ref the Knicks is insane.

I don't care that much whether the refs call it tight or let them play, just call it evenly on both sides.

 

[Bill Shatner]

Pistons have zero luck in the lottery. Fucked out of perhaps the greatest prospect in history last year and will pick 5 again this year.

The lottery is fixed, so of course they were.

I predicted that the Spurs would get the 1 like 6 months beforehand when it was obvious that Wembenyama was a generational prospect.

Wow.

They were just "more aggressive"... or something.

FTs killed us last night.

What a terrible way to lose a game.

What a terrible way to lose a game.

And we only lost by 4.
