Cracker this on Sky Sports arena. Game 3 in the eastern conference final. Miami Heat were 30 points ahead, Boston Celtics have pulled it back to 12..... what a game

Dammmmn

Watched HBO’s 4 part documentary on Shaq. It was decent enough, but not as good as it should have been. Far too sanitised and left with the impression that Shaq had script approval, because the last 20 minutes was just an infomercial about how great he is.

The run-in the West Conference is fascinating this year. The play-in spots in particular are changing every day. Lakers coming together could well fancy their chances even through a possible play-in, or they could quite easily bomb out in the play-in itself. others dealing with injuries and players coming back in and some young stars emerging across the conference.

 

Think the Nuggets are the best overall, if Jokic is fit they should make the finals. But with Durant and James back playing, it's well worth keeping an eye on things right now.

The future

It'll be interesting to see how he looks with Giannis or Embiid going at him. He's got incredible skill for his size.

Only got a passing interest in basketball, but found this article today by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about LeBron beating his scoring record.

Unstoppable when he fancies it 

 

No need for his mums barnet though 

[Pidge]

Still hoping for the Lakers to come through, but still a fairly significant part of me wants Jokic to win the whole thing. Bit like I wanted Giannis to. Just an artist at work. Probably the most skilled big since Hakeem.

He will be the next player to achieve a quadruple double.

Just come across the stuff about the bulls fans booing Jerry Krause's widow. Bit grim. As in totally pathetic. 

 

Are people just such cunts naturally or is it just sport becoming panto?

Wemby coming close to becoming the first Rookie to do a quadruple double, and against Jokic's Denver.

 

It's crazy to think that Holmgren was the favourite for ROY at one point.

This is inherently untrue because one is the NHL...

Greatest post season of all sport.

No doubt, best thing about that sport would be when it's over.
