Capela. But it is pretty obvious that he is injured. No bounce. No quickness.

Clippers un-embarrassing us again.

Thank you. I hope they make the change

Getting fouled is one thing. Trying to get fouled with unnatural body positioning is another

Goon 13 did a good job taking out Mitchell at the end of game 2, effectively removing the Jazz whole starting backcourt. Suns will win the West, unless they injure CP3 or Booker, too.

Clippers are showing the worth of 5 out offense. You can pick your poison, either helping on star player drives and allowing wide open threes or the other way around. On the offensive side the center can't really exploit height advantage against 5 switchable players. Happened against Mavs and is working same way against Utah.

If my count is right,  only Dallas,  Denver, Nets  didn't receive single vote from play-off teams, add Charlotte if you include play in

Choke fest. Both missed wide open layups in the last two minutes.

Not making excuses for either one, but they both are playing hurt. Embiid's right knee and Young's right shoulder.

I am not buying this one...

Mavs defensive rating: 119.7
Utah defensive rating: 124.7

Up to this point Big Grin

My point exactly. Not even an MVP defensive center can help against five out unless he is so good on the other side that it forces you to put in a center.

Takes a very skilled big to upset them when they play that system. Jokic and Embiid are the only ones in my book. Will be interesting on how CP3/Ayton explore that with lob city if it happens.

The Nets are tied 2-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Bucks and are preparing to be without guard Kyrie Irving (right ankle sprain) for the rest of the series, sources said. The team hasn't ruled Irving out beyond Game 5, but Harden is clearly much closer to a return.

How in the heck do you leave Mitchell off All NBA teams? That's absurd and I think he's usually overrated.
