You know who received a lot of hype and praise at the beginning of the year and then really tapered off? Tyrese Haliburton. He's not who you thought he was.
I’m going to be curious how he will be next year. He has not been the same since the injury.

Thunder keep on rolling. That team is REALLY starting to annoy the hell out of me. I watched the first half and it was being officiated like a December regular season game vs. the more defense-friendly playoff whistle. SGA is still getting the call where he initiates contact by jumping into a walled-up defender. Between that, the way he uses his off arm, and his head snaps to exaggerate contact, he's starting to become a modern day James Harden (from his Houston days). Super skilled for sure, but then does a bunch of bullshit chicanery to bait the officials. I thought the playoffs would snuff his B.S. out, but apparently not last night.

Get the neck braces ready if there's a SGA vs. Brunson Finals matchup.

It was Tony Brothers reffing that game, when we had him game 3 against Phoenix we had three guys with 5 fouls and Rudy had 2 fouls in the first few minutes. It doesn't get better tonight for OKC/Dallas as they get Scott Foster.

Edwards should have been suspended for almost ending SGA's career with that violent act...come on, NBA!

Boston losing at home to Cleveland in game 2. Interesting. May be they won't just waltz through the Eastern Conference playoffs!

Sounds like OG Anunoby's hamstring injury is pretty severe, and they're just trying to hold out hope that he'll be back sometime next round

Thibs running his guys into the ground. Brunson is hobbled a bit and Josh Hart has been an absolute warrior, but I have to believe he is going to buckle at some point.

And the thing is, Thibs has some guys on the bench who can play. But now with the Robinson and OG injuries things are getting thinner.
