Wednesday on ESPN should be fucking nice.

 

And this is coming right after OKC beat the #2/3 seeds in the East by a good margin. OKC also plays at NY on Friday too, and against Cleveland again next week, so it will be interesting to see how this shakes out. 

I made a joke back when these teams were both around 10-0 that they could have a meeting of the undefeateds in January, and that surprisingly wasn't far off. If they both somehow make it to the playoffs healthy, we might have the lowest viewed NBA championship in recent history between 2 small market teams without any superstar media darlings to hype.

So ants just gonna average 45 ppg, hit 8 3s, shoot 50% right after he bitched about hating double teams?

This might be the most Jekyll and Hyde team I’ve ever seen. I can see them beating OKC and Cleveland and losing to Washington in the same week.

They’re only 5 games from the 2 seed lmao. These western conference playoffs are gonna be a total madhouse. And that’s just positioning. 10 bad days you can go from home court to a play in.

In case anyone forgot (they didn't), Bradley Beal reminding folks that he has a no trade clause. 

Quote

When asked if his move to the bench had something to do with the trade rumors, Beal says he has not heard anything from the team.

"If so, I need to be addressed because I hold the cards," he told reporters after Monday's game. "Until I'm addressed and somebody says something different, then I'll be a Sun."

Contract has two years and $110M left.  Lulz.  He's not going anywhere unless it's a salary dump on that end.  The last time he played anything close to a full season was 19/20.

Shaq has it written down on his notepad that when Denver scores 128 points they win and when they score 110.5 they lose. 😂

Nuggets scrubs had the game tied at 93.  Too bad the Celtics then went on a 15-0 run to close out the game.

They did better without Jokic than I thought they would.  Yesterday was Serbian Christmas.  Probably had too much rakija.

Usually happens to me during the Serbian Christmas days too, especially when I decide to go shirtless

Close game so far. It's really something to watch 2 teams that have deep benches with talent and skill. A complete switch from the Big 3 and a bunch of G Leaguers we have been accustomed to in past years. Lots of energy on defense with both these teams, which is always fun to watch.

Allen isn't even in the top 10 of all-star front court voting right now, but he was the Cavs MVP tonight. Strus and Ty off the bench were huge too. These teams are very deep, and if OKC gets a healthy Chet back later this year, it's gonna be a hell of a fight. GGs OKC

30+ lead changes.  It felt like if they played 10 times, they'd be 5-5.  They'll play next Thursday, too.

If they meet in the Finals, OKC will presumably have Chet and Caruso, though.

True, though I'm not sure that Caruso would have gone a better job than Dort on Mitchell.  And iHart doesn't have the range that Chet has so that made things a little easier.  But having said that, IHart himself had a very good game and seemingly didn't miss any floater.

All in all, just a very good game between two elite teams.
