Mavs fan here but never watch any games because I don't have cable and live in Chicago.
Borrowed someone's YouTubeTV pw last night and got to watch that game. Luka was outrageous. The whole team was great. We won't see a blowout like that again any time soon.
By the end of the first half, Luka scored 27 on his own, which is what the entire Suns team had scored by the half. Amazing.

lol suns
milwaukee got what they deserved for dodging the nets
mavs aren't a solid matchup for the dubs but miami/boston oughta be an outstanding series.
- Luka angry ball is my favorite atm. https://i.imgur.com/…garbage
- doncic is interesting..he could drop 45rootlock
- No idea what to expect from that series because the Warriors are in death mode.garbage
- No dog in the fight, so I'm rooting for a Dallas Luka v Miami Butler Finals.garbage
- Giannis had a series for the ages and still lost. They really missed Middleton._niko
- Giannis first player to amass 200 points, 100 rebounds and 50 assists in a single playoff series_niko

the playoffs are great. boston / brooklyn is a fuckin treat. i'll be interested to see how deep memphis goes, they're still my dark horse to win it all.
booker hurt sucks because it would mean after a monster season, phoenix might not even make it out of the first round. doncic as well - dallas is superior to utah with him but without it'll be a rough series.
still laughing that the lakers missed it all, but bummed paul george got covid before the most important game of the season. no LA teams in the playoffs probably have the nba ad reps pissed as hell.
- suns won't pass without book
+1 for memphis goesgrafician

the complete collapse of the lakers has been hilarious, although it's really too bad they've also been hit with injuries. but given the fact they could have kept caruso, brought in heild and instead added the incredibly declined westbrook... i mean it's like a shakespearean tragedy - fun to watch but sucks to be them
i'm not too sure what portland is doing, good they shut down dame but they've given up all their strong wings for ... well very little in return. they may have cap space but stars don't really gravitate to PDX, plus it's not a great offseason for free agents.
who knows though.
i would absolutely love it if memphis went deep in the playoffs, but i think phoenix has this year wrapped up.

- LeBron doesn't get back on defensestudderine
- He's legacy padding at this point, because this Lakers team is garbage. Kudos on passing that pedophile on all time scorers.garbage
- It must suck to be a Jazz fan. One of their legends fucked a 13-year-old, and the other is a vocal antivax Qanon conspiritard.garbage
- I mean, it is UTAH. What did you expect from the land of Mormons?noRGB
- lol yeah. Can't be understressed that Stockton is a devout Catholic, but he respected the LDS for their devotion.garbage
- The Mailman did photoshoots with missionaries and was just glad nobody was pointing out that he's a rapist.garbage

Bron had 2 (!!!) 50+ points games in a week at age 37 and is the first 10K/10K/10K player in the NBA
re: "and lebron is finally mortal" lol
p.s. I don't agree how the Lakers are run rn, but disrespecting Bron is hilarious

anybody on this season yet?
a) ben simmons drama is hilarious & continues
b) the lakers are falling apart due to terrible off-season moves, and lebron is finally mortal
c) bulls look like good dark-horse contenders if it weren't for the warriors back in full-on destroy mode
most importantly,
d) new rules seem to be having a positive effect overall in the game being clamped down on offense, much more even and disrupting a lot of players who relied on foul calls to control tempo / get easy points
- i had originally thought the lakers would be better but they just cannot get any team flow together, plus no defensive effort even with the new rulescolin_s
- Interested to see if Klay coming back messes with the chemistry the Dubs have developed. Obviously they practice with him n all, but ya never know...duckseason
- The bulls are surprising and it'll be interesting to see if they can carry this momentum throughout the season.duckseason
- I'm loving the new rule change, but I wish they called it "The Harden Rule". The Lakers don't surprise me, because they built a very old squad.garbage
- AD is 28, but has the durability of someone a decade older. I'm liking the Bulls as well. Who would have fucking thought that Lonzo would be able to function..garbage
- ..once his dad was scraped aside. As for Klay, he can plug right in and it will just make a wider floor. I'm a devout Warriors hater just for their bandwagon..garbage
- ..fans, but Klay is up there in my favorite players. Go Blazers / Free Dame.garbage
- My favourite thing so far this year was Jokers body check from behind lol_niko
- That was amazing, and Morris had it coming.garbage
- Not a single mention of the Suns? Get outta here! For real though one of the more balanced years in a whilenoRGB

"BREAKING: Carmelo Anthony has agreed to a deal to join forces with LeBron James in LA'
Lakers next season:
Bron
AD
Melo
Brodie
Dwight- Sponsored by AARPutopian
- Man, big boo. At least when Westbrook signed I knew we weren't losing Dame. At least to the Lakers.garbage
- Los (Angeles) Galacticos!_niko
- @garbage if you're a Blazers fan, yeah I feel you bro, but Melo deserves his ring man, don't you think?grafician
- AND it's odd Dame doesn't seem to do what it takes to get one? I respect the man, but "doing it on my own terms" is time wasted in today's NBA.grafician
- "Lakers ink Talen Horton-Tucker to a three-year deal"
WOW! I'm amazed Rob Pelinka did this good in free agency!grafician - @garbage here you go: "Ben McLemore reportedly agrees to a deal with the Blazers"
Ben a solid shooter, next to Dame will make Blazers even m lethal from deepgrafician - "Marc Gasol confirms he'll be back with the Lakers'
Getting better and better!grafician - Melo's chasing. He's probably irked that he got passed for the US Olympic scoring title. He once said his gold is worth more than a ring.garbage
- Dame will eventually leave after Portland comes up sort a few more times. Ben's no real big addition. Sadly I think this is Dame's prime being wasted.garbage
- Sadder still, I think we've seen the best of CJ. He's going to get hurt again. So will Nurk. And losing Gary is another blow. Sucks to be a Blazers fan.garbage
- Bro until Lakers got Bron, we suffered for years. It's gets better, hang in there. Dame still has it and just needs the right mix to really compete. Mad respectgrafician
- Re: Lakers new team, I guess Bron decided to gather all this friends and party.
It's the Expendables, but in the NBA?grafician - @garbage Dame could go to Miami and definitely get a ring with that team, my money on them not the Nets in the Eastgrafician
- He was putting feelers out to LA, CHI, and NYC before the Olympics.garbage

ohhhh... BLAHHH BLAHHHHH BLAAHHHHHH....
:P
Just kidding... Congrats, Bucks!!! Glad your 50 year drought is over... nice finish at home too. :)
...to be honest I didn't expect shit from the Suns. They have a way about them... they'll get your hopes up a little bit but always leave you hanging. I'm fairweather at best w/these guys ever since the Nash days ended. However... Booker and crew are quite talented / very fun to watch and may just keep me watching.

Meh, the teams that went to the finals were the teams that didn't get injured.

Hell of a post season this year. Great series all around from round one to the Finals. Was going to be okay with Suns or Bucks winning the Ball. Glad Giannis finally got his. Absolutely legendary performance averaging 35.1 pts, 13.1 reb, 5 ast, 1.5 blk, 1.3 steal. That’s -.7, -.2, -3, +1.2 compared to Lebron’s peak Finals performance with year 2 Heat.
Now that Giannis got over that mental hurdle I’m excited to see how the rest of his days play out. Will he be a beast unleashed or was this peak Giannis?
It’s going to be an interesting off-season. Decent draft class, tons of great free agents, and plenty of teams that can compete another year with a few personnel moves.
Congrats, Bucks fans. See you all next year. Bring on the post season blues.

- Just got lucky when half the NBA is injured lolgrafician
- Lol what a shit hot take. NBA has been injured every year for decades. That’s basketballnoRGB
- Giannis practically broke Kyrie's foot man damn
Even he himself got his knee overextended!
Anyway looking forward for 2022grafician - btw congrats to Middleton, that man single handedly carried the Bucks to the Finals and then somegrafician
- yeah Middleton's performance was unfortunately overshadowed by Giannis' epic play but it should not be discounted in the slightest._niko
- Yeah Lakers fans can't make injury excuses. Bron is getting up there, AD always gets hurt, and Kuzma is.. Kuzma.garbage
- Giannis was not getting denied. Him freaking out on the phone with his brother was amazing.garbage
- Kuzma is garbage.grafician
- Chris Paul is already in trading rumours for the Lakers btw hehehegrafician
- Oh and even Caruso can lock up Giannis anytime, he did it before, no problemografician
- anyone other than brooklyn is fine by me.showpony
- Yeah, there are also Westbrook rumors. As long as they don't get Dame, I'm fine with it.garbage
- But it's Portland, so you know they're gonna fuck it up somehow.garbage
