Boston looks really good so far against the Warriors


To me it’s the nuggets and them in the finals. I don’t think anyone in the east challenges them and I think the nuggs are just coasting till the playoffs

If they looked so good, then why are they only up by 44 at halftime? Huh?

Boston is up on the Warriors 82-38 at the half. That's in a game that Curry and Klay both started, and Boston is without Porzingis.

Also, nice to see Dallas lose to the Sixers.

Although it’s a nice statement game, I’d rather a Boston win in triple OT where Curry and Klay had to play 45 minutes. They aren’t even playing the second half.

Gafford was crowned just a tad prematurely on Pels Talk.

He had some clunky moments but he’ll be a positive for the Mavs, Mavs still rolling with Kleeber for some reason.

Because the Mavs value spacing that's why a guy like Washington and Kleber gets more playing time.

Karma is a bitch for Draymond when you talk shite about other teams on national television.

Only teams I'm paying attention to is the Suns, Mavericks, Warriors, Kings, and Lakers.

So far, we're 2 for 2 with a Warriors and Mavericks losing. Just need the Suns to lose tonight to cap off the night.

No Devin Booker tonight and they’re on back to back. This should be a thunder win.

Gifford is similar to JV in that he has some incredible strengths and weaknesses. Gafford might be the best roll man in the league in the P&R, he's an elite rim protector, and he's incredible in transition. He's just bad at everything else.

In some matchups, it will work very well, and against others, it will be terrible.

EDIT: He's almost the anti-JV. The above qualities are all weaknesses for JV. But Gafford can't shoot or rebound, and he can't create his own shot in the post ... all of which are strengths of JV.

3 for 3 today now with the Suns losing. Was a nice day to stand pat. Another day off tomorrow for the Pels with the Bulls playing at Kings and OKC at LAL. Clippers play at Bucks also. I really wish Minny would have beaten them today.

I can't imagine it lasting but I do find immense joy in seeing

KD, Booker, CP3
Luka, Kyrie
Steph, Play, Draymond
LeBron, AD

All in the playin

Gafford would have been an upgrade over Larry. Might have disrupt chemistry and good vibes if only slightly.
Gafford is exactly what we needed at the backup Center spot behind JV. Zion being able to pick and roll with Gafford to the rim for lob dunks would be a nightmare for opposing teams with shooters elsewhere...
I really thought Griff would have made that move and have insurance in the event JV is not resign over the summer.
Now, JV has the upper hand in negotiations somewhat. Can't lose a dependable 15 and 10 gladiator with a decent 3pt shot and NEVER takes a night off,for nothing...

The Pelicans need to not be the Pelicans and take advantage of this situation and this mini-break the are getting.

Win the next 3-4 and you could get a nice lead on the Suns.

Avoiding the playin should be priority #1. Then avoiding Denver should be priority #2

This little 3 game road stretch with teams without their best player is just ripe for a Pels letdown, like we did out of the break losing 2 straight games we were favored to win at home to MIA & CHI.

I imagine we will be favored in each of our next 7 games. You gotta win at least 5 of them, no excuses. 4-3 is a fail in a 7 game span where you're favored in all of them.
