    Im not disputing them being overweight at points in time. I'm saying I think Luka looks extra sloppy and this is his default state. Harden is not walking around as a slob at the end of the regular season. Luka looks fat, fat. Regular Costco worker fat. Got a roll on the back of his neck sloppy fat. It's amazing how good he is.

    Harrison Barnes is an idiot. He fouled Draymond Green for nothing with 3.1 seconds left. Now it's tied.

    EDIT: Barnes redeemed himself with a buzzer beater. Warriors lose at home!

    The stunned crowd reaction was priceless.

    This is not good news for the Rockets. I don't want the Warriors falling into the play-in and winding up the 7th seed.

    Regarding the play in, there should be some rules established for that. The West has all the teams over .500 in the top 8. It is criminal for a play in to be held for trash teams like Kings or Mavericks to potentially get into the playoffs in a winner take all situation. Hopefully whoever loses the 7/8 seed game takes care of business, but those subpar teams shouldn't have a chance. The East is a perfect of example of a play in that should be held.

    A matchup against the Warriors would be a nightmare. Guaranteed 7 game series. Wish they didn't blow that.

    I think the same thing about Jokic
    I wonder .. .. . would being in shape make them more or less effective

    Jokic is in great shape. He ain't like Luka in that regard.

    Jokic expends so much energy every game it's crazy. Thing is, he makes it look effortless. He is in fantastic shape. This is why he's been the best player in the NBA for ~5 straight years. He's a big man and uses his big, strong body to shove people around.
    It did take Jokic a couple of years to get his body right.

    Even though Nico Harrison has mush for brains, the Mavs concerns about the way Luka has treated his body were legit. NBA talking heads have been blabbering about Luka's body for years.

    Dwight's body was a freak show even by NBA standards. Jokic and Luka would need roids to become ripped like Dwight. LOL, his shoulders did not look real to me.

    Warriors can't get any lower than 8th. Ideally they lose the first play-in game, win the second play-in game and end up 8th seed ultimately facing the Thunder in round 1.

    Edit: Now that I think about it, losing both play-in would put them in the 9th seed. That would be great too.

    Well yeah! Warriors losing both play-in games and becoming the "9th seed" would be a story ESPN would talk about forever...and I would love that.
