Spurs dressing for a funeral game in Game 1 is RUDE

The Spurs arena looks INCREDIBLE

I've gotta let my love be as loud as my hate, I've been very hard on Orlando the last week or so and MAN have they looked terrifying these last two games.

Fantastic showing, again.

Absolute DIME from Banchero

This is like the tenth time the Rockets have screwed up very basic defense. What is going on?

Tari Eason’s reaction lol

Can’t believe KAT didn’t get T’d up for that point at Okongwu on the and-one.

Didn’t want it! But I am surprised ha

No more technical difficulties, no more blackouts, no more showing interviews instead of the live game footage.

Thanks.

How can you not love this Phoenix team

for the DRAMA, Keith!

I am so pleasantly surprised that LaMelo took it to the rack instead of shooting a one-legged stepback

I just wrote nice things about Prime’s NBA package TODAY. What the hell, Amazon

The Heat's whole thing is just murdering dreams

I really underrated how much Coby White was gonna help the Hornets this year

Whatever works, I guess

Ha exactly.

Anyone else extremely nervous that the Heat will just summarily execute the Hornets tonight?

Yeah! It feels like they’re moving forward, stumbles and all, and I’m happy about that
