Sorry ESPN. Is it OK to say that this old guy can't stand any of the four hosts of your pregame show. Give me Shaq, Kenny, Chuck and Ernie 24 hours a day.

Hated JJ at Duke. Wasn't a JJ fan in the NBA. But he is good on TV talking hoops. This rant was pretty good too... (couple -bombs at the end).

Pels fans really love this Jose Alvarado. Closed game last night with 3 rookies. Herb Jones was damn good last night as well

PG tested positive and out. Lets go Pels!

Steve Nash also caught it recently.
The concern has to be with a still very contagious strain out there and some immunity possibly wading from the December/early January cases that there will be a number of these that occur in the playoffs.

Cuse was involved with him. He went to GT and busted our butts a few times.

Really weird play right before the half in this Hawks-Cavs game. Capella made a dirty play and basically injured himself. Mobley faked the shot, Capela fouled him and went by him and pulled him down from behind... directly into his own knee. So Capela limped off to the locker room.

They reviewed it for a flagrant and weirdly didn't give it to him. The fact he got hurt probably worked in his favor on that call.

Not sure Hawks can play so poorly in the 2nd half like they did in the first. However having Jarrett Allen back really adds to the Cavs depth.

Trae Young with about the worst 1st half a player can have and then the absolutely best 2nd half. Congrats Hawks.

 

[longislandcuse]

Trae Young on opposing home courts in the Playoffs is must watch television.

 

[jncuse]

You take Jokic off the.Nuggets and it would get just as ugly.

Tempted to take the Hawks with the ML in the first round.

I watch a lot of Hawks and a lot of the Heat. Anything can happen, but the Heat's upside is a lot higher. And remember that Capela might be truly injured; it didn't look good, and they will now be forced to work Collins back into the rotation. Not sure they can win four out of seven.

Atlanta announced this morning that Capela escaped serious injury. I would only make it because Atlanta has been hot and playing better than Miami recently. Agree with your overall take although when Trae, Bogie, Huerter, Collins, and Capela are on the court together the Hawks are something like a ridiculous plus 30 over 48 minutes, but it hasn’t happened much because of injury.

That's good news then about Capela. No doubt they did well last year in the playoffs, but the Heat will also be bolstered with the addition of Oladipo. Should be a great series considering it's a 1 vs 8.

Lol at a fan tossing money on the court in the Memphis-Minn game. Throws money and gets tossed lol.

I take it back. They are now saying Capela is out at least a week.

This Minn Memphis game is fun. Edwards and Morant going at one another will be must watch TV for years to come.

Not surprised that in the first two games that the five seed and the seven seed won. I don't think this is the year to bet chalk.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Poole is amazing, but there’s no need to reward three steps with an and 1

 

[jncuse]

Raps got hammered -- and Scottie Barnes likely out for the season.
Philly offence was effective and Maxey was dominant with a very efficient 38 points.

 

[samspann1]

Ok, I was guilty of this too
