Frustrating loss for the Jazz.
Jordan Clarkson is under utilized and it's maddening. His defense isn't great.....in fact you could say it's poor at times, but his ability to score is priceless. I would rather give up the perimeter shots and get it back with his offense then leave a good defender in there that can't score. Snyder needs to pull his head out and realize it's a scoring league and Clarkson can score.
And Conley.... wow what a dumpster fire of a game tonight.

I wish the Cavs had Bickerstaff when they had LeBron. This guy is incredible.

This dude is going to break the NBA.

You can use multiple bigs. They just have to be athletic and skilled. You have to score and defend on the perimeter with them.

But don't let age fool you, They got game!!

Well this is true most of the Lakers roster is old however with age comes wisdom and a ton of experience. As a Lakers fan they better win it all this year if not it be a massive disappointment.

Hey all they gotta do is stay healthy and they can easily win the title. Lebron is all upset people are questioning the ability to endure this season and stay healthy. But it’s not like we didn’t just watch a season with AD struggling big time in that department.

Oh yeah, when I think "over the hill", I also think of The Nets trio....clearly these guys are capable of winning together. And not that old. Believe me, I know old!

The Nuggets should have dared him to walk away from the money.

I want the Lakers to win a championship but I don’t want LeBron to win a championship. If only they would trade him away...

I wish Melo the best. I just wish it didn’t include LeBron James.

Same thought process I’m under.

I don’t blame him. He’s always gotten a little sharper criticism than I think he deserves and most Nuggets fans took that departure harder than I feel they should have. I forgave him long ago. In fact I was never really mad at him to begin with. Just sad he left. But he did it for his wife even though it didn’t work out for his career.

But he gets harsh criticism for his lack of defense as if he’s the only star who’s ever been that bad. He also staved off the team up thing longer than a majority of today’s stars. I don’t really want the Lakers or Lebron to get another ring but I’d be happy for Melo to get one before he retires. Just glad it won’t be in Portland.

Looking forward to the draft on Thursday, and then Free Agency beginning August 2nd!

Even though Ujiri does not have a new contract with The Raptors, he is clearly running the offseason show, so it appears he is staying. I want what he wants....for the organization to open up the vault for players!!

[CanDB]

I am happy for Giannis. He did everything imaginable to win this thing.

I will not "asterisk" this championship (as if I could), but it was a bad year for star players. James/Davis, Leonard, Harden/Irving and so on, even Trae Young in those last key games. You prefer the best be involved, but that's sports. So yes, I wish injuries were not a factor, but they usually are. Just seemed like covid and injuries played too big a role.

But someone has to win, so it might as well have been The Bucks.

What a legendary performance from the greek god. Wow.
