    If OKC can't win with James Harden currently shooting 2-13 with 5 minutes remaining then I don't know how they'll even take a game.

    Brutal start to the 4th for OKC, that 15 point swing killed them.

    Rockets are very underrated defensively. What they lack in size they make up for in tenacity.

    Ca it's amazing that there are no superteams this year and it actually feels like multiple teams can win it

    Does anyone else have issues using league pass? Its theres been a bit of buffering lately but the Rockets game tonight was unwatchable, stopping every 5 seconds. Dunno if it's the service or maybe my device

    Easy win for the Lakers tonight. Blazers weren't at the races at all.

    Good point on one of the pods I listened to recently (or maybe it was a talking heads show) that the only two teams playing defence in the bubble are Houston and Toronto. Exaggerated to a degree yes, but an element of truth in it.

    I see Lillard dislocated a finger last night. I can tell you from experience having done that that is incredibly painful, even without a break. Every time the ball touches his hand for the next few weeks it's going to be like a kick in the balls pain wise.

    LeBron very quiet last night also. They really disrupted whatever Portland wanted to do from the outset of the first quarter and never let up.

    Portland are knackered, basically every game since the bubble started has been a must-win for them. Hopefully they'll get a little energy back having only given 30 or so minutes to each of the starters last night.

    Yeah what was the quote that they played a 9 game Play Off Series to even get to the Lakers game? Lakers have been cruising obviously. I don't think Portland will win the series btw, but it's a big disadvantage for them.

    Chris Webber is a dose! Has spent the first 6/7 minutes of the game moaning about how the Mavs need to show respect as a "young team", screw that!

    Big game from Kawhi and with Doncic injured that’s the series.

    KP though, wow. He’s everything he was supposed to be and more.

    Wasn’t criticizing them! Just pointing out they have to be a lot more tired than LA at this point. In a short (time frame) series that will tell eventually.

    Probably time to blow up Philly at this point, just not happening for them, bad coaching and bad chemistry

    Agreed they should but I can see a situation where they try to run it back with a new coach before eventually blowing it up.

    Yea, that’s probably the most realistic option considering it will be hard to move the contracts of Harris and Horford and they will want to give Simmons and Embild another chance to make it work together

    Watching Dallas v clippers now, excellent game, no matter what happens, Doncic has just been incredible, big boy basketball, his strength, skill and confidence is a joy to watch

    They would of been sick if they lost but the Clippers with Leonard did well to get themselves back in the game after the Mavs looked to pull away

    Doncic..... just wow

    Paul George has got to be the most overrated superstar in the league.

    Khris Middleton is on fire. Magic doing well to cut an early 4th quarter gap of 19 to 7 though, spearheaded by Vucevic.

    Edit: Won't be enough though.

    Brett Brown fires.

    Nets want Popovich. Can’t see him leaving San Antonio to do anything but retire or coach the US

    Lakers went up 24 - 8 early last night. Fitting for the day that was in it. The comprehensive dismantling of Portland a fitting result too.

    It's looking like a huge loss, their pace is far too slow and they're taking way too many 3s (a record of 3s taken in a playoff game last night). They need his intensity and ability to attack the rim

    It’s classic YouTube analysis taken too far (but what about spacing...SPACING!!). Another star on the floor who can command usage, make his own shot and go off for 30+ will make you better.

    Harden was brilliant last night despite it being a losing effort, but sure isn’t he always.

    Definite b*tch play. Doncic said as much without saying it directly post-game. That was no accident. The force required to take off a sneaker like that is not accidental.

    Clearly intentional from Morris, ball is nowhere near them, he's not off balance or jumping, and he has a history for being a bit dirty.

    I’ve just seen the side on view of the Morris incident. Wow. Clearly intentional as he has to exaggerate the step to connect. Should be banned for that. Dirty f*cker.
