    "Should" is not a guarantee. And that's why betting has odds.
    Teams like the title Bulls and Warriors 'should' have won almost every game. It doesn't mean they would, or did, but often when they lost, it was an upset.

    The spread before the tip had implied odds of 57% chance the Blazers will win. Up 5% before Young was ruled out.

    It's sad that the team has played so badly in the first quarter lately that this is considered a good start. Sure offensively we're doing what we want but we're letting them get what they want too.

    You didn't expect us to all of a sudden become a much improved defense did you?

    Nope, just pointing out that we don't have the highest of expectations, especially to start halves lately.

    Nice finish to the quarter by Dame and the 2nd unit.

    Yeah, Nurk can definitely make that pass, Nurk just thinks he can make some passes he has no business trying. With Nurk the only things to not like about his game are how he chooses to use all of his talent and skills and his lack of mobility. He is a very skilled big that consistently chooses not to play to his own strengths on O and now has a coach that refuses to play to his strengths on D.

    Calabro must be reading the same rumors I am because he just said that with the new regime in ATL, they're looking to keep Collins.

    Nurks problem is he can't catch that pass.

    What in the name of James Naismith is going on? Can someone please throw Shaedon a proper lob pass? Dame missed him earlier, and Hart just did his Jerami Grant impression.

    Sharpe's leaping ability means the pass doesn't even have to be that good, but his teammates continue to miss him multiple times a game.

    ....finally, they get one.

    That must be sarcasm... Oh no it's just another fucking shitty take. Are you watching this game? Ant is 4 for 5 with 6 assists and zero turnovers.

    Bill Kennedy is so bad. Two officials near the ball don’t know who it went off - he confidently calls it ATL ball from across the court. Replay shows it clearly off Bogdonovic - and Kennedy screened regardless so how the hell can he confidently make that ruling?
