    I’ve always thought Utah was the best team in the West behind warriors and rockets. They just always ran into us

    Waiting for @what to double down on the ridiculous take of how Conley has no heart.

    If no heart means leaving your newborn behind to come back and be the leading scorer for your team in a pivotal game 3 in the playoffs, then more NBA players should have no heart, more often.

    Mike is back. I love Mike. I still don't think he should have left, but Mike, believe it or not, is my favorite player of all time. Including Hakeem who I watched his entire career. I had an emotional response to Mike leaving the bubble, but we will see if he keeps it up or defers like he normally does.
    He and gasol both usually don't try to take over games.

    So, your favorite player of all time left the bubble for 2 games to witness the birth of his child and you call him out for having no heart? He's supposed to be your favorite player of all time, and you can't even give him a pass for that?

    If he's your idol, I can't imagine how you feel about players you actually dislike.

    It does not matter who wins this series
    I truly expect them to be swept in the next round

    I would say that I am absolutely shocked Mike Conley has 4 points right now. But I am not. That is Mike and Marc's mo. They are allergic to scoring points.

    it's embarrassing how much better the western conference is than the eastern conference.

    the nba needs to do something about this.

    the bubble really has a lot of guys ballin out of character

    Mitchell is not this good

    Warren isn’t that good

    Mitchell has 2 games in this series scoring more points than Harden’s playoff career high

    Can I get a Harden 50 point game please?

    Terrible missed call. Gobert clearly fouled Murray

    no fans have definitely made the players more relaxed. No way TJ warren and donovan mitchell( although i like his potential is this good)

    Mitchel has 51. Murray has 50.

    Two 50 burgers in the same game!

    It's gotta be so much easier without the playoff crowds

    Mitchell's Last 2 playoffs
    24 ppg on 51% TS
    21 ppg on 42% TS

    This year
    40 ppg on something like 75-80% TS
