Trae young looks like if you used the machine from The Fly on boris karloff and a shower drain, and this is why it’s funny he defeated the 76ers, entirely fairly and justly

I just wanna point out I've been on the Union bandwagon since day 1, when Toni Stahl got a red card and was summarily banished to Siberia never to be heard from again

it's good that they are changing the rules so it's harder to draw fouls. but they need to go further. take shaq's rings away.

the only reason embiid had a higher ppg than jokic was free throw attempts. with the nba cracking down on foul baiting, its clear jokic is the best center in the league.

We all should give each other time to learn and grow within reason. Like if you are a fascist or what ever thats not good. But if you think Steph Curry is good I am not going to say you are Hitler and Id expect people to give me the same respect

PS you’re right about the refs, particularly the 3 throw (non) foul by maxey on bogdanovic I watch nba games a lot and I seem to remember less playoff fouls in the past, it’s annoying

A lot of the epic series this postseason wouldn't even have happened if it was best of three or even five. I'm also fine with the "better team" generally winning. A few teams COULD have beaten the Warriors in seven, they just didn't. Also someday were going to get that 0-3 comeback it's it's going to be amazing.

That's why they're the favorites.
