The fake noise is really annoying. Can't they do something so it's heard... without drowning out everything else?

Wasting 57 from Mitchell is a travesty.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Jazz just blew their best shot at a win?

Did Mitchell ink an extension yet? Next season is the last year of his rookie deal. If this poor dude goes down in 4 or 5 averaging 30-40ppg it'll be interesting.

Mitchell had an amazing game but that 8 second violation with 2 minutes to go ended up being huge. I think the Nugs canned a trey directly following that turnover. Potential 5-6 point swing.

To be fair... no Bogdonavich or Conley is a pretty big deal.

I didn't watch much but just tuned in now. Looks ugly - interesting to hear they made a run though.

I can’t see how anyone is interested in watching 1 v 8 or 2 v 7 in the east.

I would have preferred if they gave those spots to Phoenix and Memphis

Same. I remember when ABE sperged out over that idea a couple years ago.

Good lord the C’s couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat right now. They’re missing easy looks too.

Yeah no way that should’ve been a flagrant. Jaylen sold it well though. Would’ve thought he got punched in the face with that reaction.

Exactly. I get why they felt obliged given this rule set but IMHO that's a hard but common foul.

Can we please get Doris Burke the fuck outta the booth? If she gushes over Tatum having fun or Kemba having a nice smile again I might puke.

Tatum sub 50% shooting and 1 whole assist?
