I mean, he’s been pretty good in the playoffs but MVP is maybe a bit of a stretch.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I wish Jokic had responded to Shaq by saying Nash deserved those MVPs over him too.

Shaq got zero MVP votes in 2005 in the real voting, LeBron came second to Nash. Kobe was 4th.

Again, Shaq's probably salty because he now has two fewer MVPs than Jokic. You know that has to bug the poo poo out of him. He probably think he could've averaged Wilt levels of points per game if his prime was in the 2020's NBA.

I still can’t get over how the Wolves went to Denver, who has a big home court advantage, and just absolutely SMASHED them. The Nuggets had no answer. I understand it’s a combo of Murray being injured and the refs allowing rough defense but still.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

There’s something about this Knicks team that makes their opponents give off real sore loser energy. None of them want to say “we lost because Isiah Hartenstein and Josh Hart out worked us.” Can’t be that short guy everyone spent all season saying wasn’t good enough to be a 1A. Cant be a team effort. Couldn’t be us getting out rebounded or missing free throws or turning the ball over. Must be the refs.

IMHO as a Knicks fan I think the officiating has been pretty crazy slanted in their direction, I’d like to believe it’s just dumb luck though and I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Brunson really does pull out all the tricks to get calls. He loving owns though besides that.

It is satisfying that the sixers and the pacers are being so whiny about it

I was trying to figure out why I hated the knicks and wanted them to lose at all costs and figured out it was because two of the podcasts I listened to had a Knicks homer co-host and they were insufferable when the Knicks were even a little bit good.

Maybe the Pacers should've played the one guy that was both defending Brunson decently and cooking him on the other end instead of the the same guy Brunson has now scored uhhhhh 70 points on?

I saw some crazy stat that, I mean for one he's played 195:29 of the last 197:00 for the knicks, but also that like, he's only been on the bench for something like 15-20 minutes this entire playoffs.

Blazers could have gone into the luxury tax and overpay to resign him as his contact was expiring. Everyone would be making fun of the blazers for it.

Trading him was a reasonable move at the time as part of rebuilding, but then they went and gave Jerami Grant $150M

He would possibly have a point if Minnesota and Oklahoma City weren't a combined 11-0 so far in the playoffs. Aside from that small market teams are just being ABSOLUTELY hosed by the rigged NBA

The double dribble call and subsequent overturn was some ridiculously terrible officiating that had no impact on the result of the game.

Like it wasn't a double dribble to begin with, but when have you ever seen refs confer and overturn a ball-handling violation? Probably the most embarrassing officiating sequence this year, but luckily the game was over so it can be swept under the rug.
