    I called his demeanour “mumble mentality” in a thread once when people were still doing Kobe comparisons. It didn’t get traction, but I think it fits him perfectly.

    Spoelstra’s inbound plays are elite compared to Ime. (Probably true of every head coach in the NBA.)

    Jalen Green doesn’t have it at all, with multiple mistakes at the end. Glad he's no longer a Rockets.

    Avdija is pretty darn good. He reminds me of a young James Harden. He’s going to have a very difficult time against the Spurs’ interior defense (I mean, alien defense).

    Someone should ask LeBron if he still thinks the play-in is a bad idea.

    Blazers have one good young player and everyone else is just an old vet.. blazers will not be a championship team until they get a good #2 and that will not happen

    Definitely too much involvement by the referees, or lack thereof. Agree that a foul should've been called there at the end for the Suns. Wouldn't have tied up the game, but still. Heat got some favorable calls there too.
