Hope Jamal Murray has something to say about that and puts together a Game 6 similar to Games 1, 4 and 5

I very rarely go back and quote my own posts, but BAM! Jamal is going to find himself in an All-Star Game soon. And what an emotional interview after the game. Coach Cal and UK basketball should be very proud to have a fine young man such as Jamal representing them and reflecting upon them in a very positive manner.

Two players make me think of my all time greats:
....Kwai Leonard (Oscar Robertson smooth playing the 3)
....Luka Doncic (Larry Bird reincarnated)

Do or die time for the Thunder.


I dont see it happening. Rockets are at full strength, and IMO they are the 3rd or 4th best team in the nation when healthy. This really should have been a sweep or set in 5 games. That's not to take away from OKC.. they are just too young at key areas. They will be a force once they cash in on those draft picks.. but Rockets close this series TONIGHT.. in easy fashion.



And now hes the Knicks coach. Woof.

Defensive player of the year guarding Jae Crowder instead of Jimmy Butler who was lighting them up .

The biggest dick punch is watching Harden brick a 3... only to get it back.. and then brick another 3...

I HATE SPORTS!

Most improved, Brandon Ingram. Lol. Dude just chucked more shots on a **** team. Now hes getting interviewed, so high that I'm not sure he even knows where he is.

I don't love the way Denver finished the last two minutes there. For starters, pull Murray to give him some extra stretching at the half. And why hurry up some of the shots? Utah was at 31 points through nearly two quarters, and they dropped another 5, almost 8, in a matter of a minute and a half.

I'm not a fan of stall ball, but when a team like Utah has been hot, and they ONLY have 31 points? Don't give them any momentum and go in at the half up big.

Agreed. A glimmer of hope after that end of half finish.

Denver and Murray blowing a huge lead. Mitchell taking over in the 3rd quarter.

Two guys you'd never thought would be making big plays in the playoffs (mainly due to durability): CP3 and Conley.

They said it.. someone else other than Murray needs to step up.

I just don't see Denver winning, it's in their head now.
