I care not. I just liked that the Suns made him look like a chump after all his trash talking.

Denver v Jazz double OT game yesterday was awesome. There has been some incredible basketball on display.

@Dice lol I love that! I couldn't stop making hot takes if I tried.

You know what it is though, me wanting them to be the next Jordan.

Edit: I do post under the influence a fair bit.... I'm also meaning when Jordan came to the league. Not the 6 rings ultimate end boss, beat him and you've clocked the game version.

Suns 6-0 fluffybunnies

7-0

[mariner4life]

games are starting to get weird. Players are getting rested all over the shop. Spurs hammered the Rockets this morning, both teams resting players, but Houston resting Harden was the main difference.

[mariner4life]

i just saw the Suns had their players introduced by their family and friends over the screens. that was very very cool

Suns are killing the bubble!

[barbarian]

The Suns, Spurs and Blazers all gunning for the 8-seed, while the Grizzlies hold on for dear life. The 8/9 play-in game has been a great idea and is giving the bubble a bit of life. Can't believe Phoenix, you have to wonder if they had started a little better (and Ayton didn't test positive) they might be up in the 4/5 seed spot.

@barbarian suns have been incredibly lucky in the bubble though, they've played so many depleted teams. Look at Philly today, they were without Simmons (season), Embiid, Horford and Harris.!!!

Hard not to think the safe teams arent just jostling for opponents

[Bovidae]

The commentators made that point last week when the Lakers and Clippers played. Provided the Clips get past their first round opponent finishing 2nd or 3rd makes no difference with no home court advantage, and both avoid the Lakers.

@voodoo I laughed at this from Chris Vernon, a Grizzlies commentator...

@barbarian good old Verno. I like his podcasts with KOC.
And he's not wrong!

[voodoo]

@Bovidae yeah, and plenty of speculation that the Clips wanted to lose to Portland the other day so they can get in the 8, given the match up issues they'd provide the Lakers.

Perhaps a stretch, but who knows

[barbarian]

@voodoo Yeah same, he's a great listen.

And Portland move into 8th with a win over Dallas. Dame is playing amazing at the moment.

Phoenix vs Portland is the play-in we deserve, but Memphis/Spurs can both get in there if results go their way.

[voodoo]

Be nice to see someone try on defense at some point

[mariner4life]

@voodoo our bet lives

[KiwiMurph]

This 'feud' with Skip Bayless has pushed Dame to a new level. It works for Skip too - his viewers will go up tomorrow just to get his reaction.

Dame fights with everyone because Dame is a bit sensitive

[KiwiMurph]

@mariner4life MJ would approve

Yeah Dallas only had those G-Leaguers Doncic and Porzingis out there last week.
