This Denver/Minnesota series is a mindfuck and I didn't want to hear the phrase "coaching adjustment" ever again.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations

Do you remember how loving perfect inside the NBA was before Shaq? it was over a decade ago but it was perfect. It was like the perfect entertainment product. Shaq's monotone mumbling about how everyone is worse than him gave barkley a guardedness that he used to lack. Kenny, Chuck, and Ernie had perfect like top gear esque chemistry and they ruined it with Shaq.

Yes. Shaq is the worst thing to happen to Inside the NBA.

Of the six games played thus far, only one has even remotely resembled a normal game. Amazing series if you're a fan of emotionally charged takes that age into an alternate universe within a span of two days.

I feel like he's gotten more insufferable once TNT made the Tuesday show and centered it around him. He could shout down anyone who disagreed with him there, and he clearly has little respect for Lefkoe as a host.

It didn't help that Jokic started getting media attention as a future all-timer after winning the title which meant a threat to his own place in the rankings.

All I need to know about Inside the NBA was Charles Barkley choosing the Mavs over the Heat in the 2011 Finals, then when Dallas won the title in Miami, Barkley got to gloat to a live Miami audience about how he called it and everyone could kiss his rear end.

For a lot of reasons nothing will ever top that for me, lmao

Jeez, I knew the Timberwolves were good but I didn't realize they were this good. It really helps the Suns look better in hindsight. The Nuggets have no answer whatsoever to their smothering defense, just a complete and utter dismantling. Meanwhile, Ant's staking his claim as the next great NBA wing and supplanting the old guard who all got washed out in the opening round.

The Nuggets are inevitable, though. Nikola Jokic is a basketball genius who solved their defense by saying "Carry the ball Aaron"

But it's pretty crazy that the Wolves stopped that, unbelievable performance from the next Michael Jordan.

But looks like Kareem needs to move over and Shaq is getting downgraded to ethanol instead of diesel - cuz it's NUCLEAR NIKOLA

But KAT? More like Dawg!
