    Finally a commentator that is calling out what we've been saying all along. It took an actual coach like SVG to call it out.

    Yet they all cook Alpe when he helps and doesn't stop the bucket. This team is a bunch of selfish ****heads

    I've been watching playoff games for like 30 years. This has got to be one of the most unusual playoff series I've ever seen. It doesn't even feel like one.

    Tari has just straight up become a bad player.

    I can’t recall such a serious regression in a while.

    Those summit days though man.....and even during The Scola/Hayes days....

    Something happened that caused fans to just not show up. I live in Georgia or else i'd be there, but it's hard to put a finger on what truly happened, unless they raised ticket prices a bunch (I wouldn't know, seeing as I don't live there.)

    He had more turnovers than Jalen Green. He hit a few shots but was a mess otherwise.

    He’s been way way better this year.

    Should have sold Eason when he was shooting 50% from 3. How we did not get a 1st round pick from that??

    Yeah Alpi has every right to be pissed there, Lebron stared him down for like a full 4 seconds, no one does anything just watches him get cooked.

    anyone watching this game and besmirching Sengun, Jabari or Thompson either doesn’t know ball or has irrational biases. They are giving it everything they can even if everyone else sucks and there is no cohesive plan.

    <30% threes

    <40% overall

    How is this even close?

    I wanted to be excited, but its the heaviest uphill ever against a team thats not even playing that well.

    You know there's a medium between being Steph Curry and being 8-36 from the field over 3 games to be the very worst active player in the NBA
