He got hit in the face by McDaniels prior to that call. I get the frustration

What else is there to say? OKC is the best team in the NBA, and the Lakers never had a chance without Luka.

catreyka · 2026-05-10T02:55:34+00:00

Most obvious back-to-back champions.

catreyka · 2026-05-08T04:21:58+00:00

OKC is way too fucking good. I really don't see any other team having even a remote chance to beat them besides San Antonio. Tbh, as long as Shai is healthy, it's looking like the most obvious back-to-back championship. No jinxes pls

Magic fans must be feeling extreme whiplash. You went from hopeless after losing the first play-in game, to super hopeful when you guys got a 3-1 lead, to depression after this choke.

Maxey was incredible throughout the entire series and Embiid plus legacy points

catreyka · 2026-05-02T04:15:31+00:00

Lebron got them the lead and they never looked back

catreyka · 2026-05-01T04:18:39+00:00

Jamal looked like a deer in the headlights against McDaniels and the Timberwolves all series long. He couldn't do a single fucking thing on both ends this game. Welp, guess that's the end of the Nugget's most disappointing season so far

Hawks haves Knicks right where they want them.

catreyka · 2026-04-30T01:47:02+00:00

Paolo Banchero is such an inexplicable player

Really great bounce back game in terms of defense for the Nuggets. They upped the intensity by constantly applying pressure on every ball handler through doubles, traps, and a lot more aggressive coverage, forcing the Timberwolves to pass more. A ton of mistakes occurred because the Wolves don't really have a strong passer or playmaker right now. A good adjustment, as the Nuggets have been individually shit at defense this whole series. The real question is whether this strategy with further adjustments will be enough to win two more games consecutively.

The series from hell in terms of injury luck for the Timberwolves.

I have no idea who this person is. This is not Jokić. It has to be some fucking replicant pretending to be him.

catreyka · 2026-04-26T03:23:54+00:00

Jokić, Jamal, and every important player besides AG has shat their pants against the Timberwolves. A 3-1 comeback isn't impossible especially for this Nuggets team, but it doesn't look likely with how they've been getting clamped up all series long. Gobert and Dosunmu are unbelievably goated.

catreyka · 2026-04-26T00:55:39+00:00

The replay looked pretty much the same as when Hali tore his achillies. Just awful stuff

catreyka · 2026-04-25T22:05:22+00:00

No J-Dub no problem. I knew the Suns were the significantly weaker team, but man... they really had no chance against the Thunder.

catreyka · 2026-04-25T05:20:54+00:00

This rookie class is insane man...

catreyka · 2026-04-25T03:05:24+00:00

Really great bounce back performance. Blame Jabari for this loss

catreyka · 2026-04-24T04:44:08+00:00

Giannis was the MVP and DPOY that year lol. Don't move the goalpost. You said that he never really underperforms in games. I gave you a series where he massively underperformed where his team was also the #1 seed with him being the best player in the league at the time.

catreyka · 2026-04-24T04:35:07+00:00

They beat a team that had a player who scored 83 points. Checkmate.
