I think the actual worst coach in the league is coaching the Pelicans.

This will be a super impressive win. Coming back from two separate double digit deficits takes real mental toughness.

What a drive JT, that’s what we need! You don’t always have to Jack up threes!

If this team's success hinges on Porzingis' health, they're screwed.

Of course it does. What a ridiculous comment.

It’s the exact same as when we had KG.

Do you expect contenders to just be able to win titles when a key guy goes down? Health matters.


How is it ridiculous? If this team can't find a way to win without KP, I don't know what to tell you. They've gotten to the Finals without him in the past, so I don't know why they can't do it again.

And no, it's NOT the exact same when we lost KG in '09. KG's impact >>>> KP's.

Everyone played well when it counted. No slip-ups. This is an escape of epic proportions. We were dead at the half lol.

What’s the 3 pt splits from the 1st to 2nd half? Feels like they took way less in the 2nd so far, but all quality ones.

When this team locks in, the defense is incredible. Makes you wonder why they dropped the ball so hard against LA

Really thought Horf would pass that out. He should try to score inside.

The timely doubles and rotation out of that is a hell of a curveball this season.

That was how you manipulate a defense by Tatum, and the dagger by Jaylen.
