  1. That intentional miss in the last free throw is 100% basketball IQ. the way players shoot today 1-2 sec is a lot of time in an half court offense. Hope it's DAL vs DEN

  2. I’m happy that despite the shit calls from this refs, we were able to power through it.
    Now I’m even happier because I know shaq is somewhere out there destroying his house or something because his boi SGA lost.

  3. Joker as MVP still playing…..Shaq upset G. Alexander eliminated before Jokic the Joker….😂😂😂😂😂

  5. 8:07 Anyone know if there are any rules about coaches intentionally making contact with players on the court? Helping them up, etc? Obviously holding a player down would be a penalty, but how about helping them up? I just never thought of it before….. ???
