OKC v Denver is going to be heavily mired in the officiating which has been uninterpretable to this point.

Cle was overrated, we beat them fully healthy twice. They don’t have enough scoring, they need to swap some of that defense for some offense

They had the #1 ORtg this season and averaged a league high 121.9 points per game.

Their problem is that they don’t have any real post presence. So if they aren’t hitting their outside shots, they’re in trouble. Same issue Boston has been having with NYK.

Is it ok for Kings fans to “glaze” Tyrese now, after his “4 point outburst?”

Just try it. One time. Not that hard. “I was wrong.”

I wasn’t wrong on that game, but yes, he definitely balled out this last one, props for sure for finally being the lead dog in a game.

You mean the 20% of players that called him “the most overrated player in the NBA”?

I’m still happy with Domas in Sacramento. I think he’s incredible and a joy to root for. But yeah, Tyrese would be amazing.

Definitely miss Hali but I’m glad he was able to escape the Vivek shitshow. I’m hoping Domas, Keegan, and Keon can also. I really like those guys and don’t want them to have to live through this garbage.
