    This series is going to be over fast if these assholes have just decided that they're not going to miss

    So we're 5 minutes into the game and the all-star post player hasn't touched the ball once in the post.

    Got to love Ime's coaching.

    EDIT: LMFAO of course he scores immediately when he does.

    Amen and Giannis play the exact same way, but one gets a call every time he drives.

    Alpi should be able to cook lazy ass Ayton all night for free. Have to keep attacking their weak links

    There we go! Ayton can't stop Sengun down low. Put him in better positions instead of Sengun having to receive the ball at the 3 point line.
