  1. Five hours later I’m here to remind you about that analysis video on boxing. I’ve requested for nearly 7 years.

  2. I LOVE those o-rebound anticipation blocks; Carter, I think Vassell & obviously Wemby’s all had nice ones against okc 😮‍💨😮‍💨

  3. Jalen Brunson is the most underrated offensive basketball mind I’ve ever seen. He should be in the conversation with Jokic and LeBron, but he isn’t as flashy or efficient. The dude is brilliant though.

  4. Blake griffin also hit a jump catch 3 to beat the shot clock as well

  5. 5:30 in the last 2 minute report, it was acknowledged that it was a missed out bounds call for Caruso

  6. 2:40 Play #8 is a perfect example of how many offensive and defensive countering tactics can happen in ONE PLAY. I simply do not understand people who say the NBA is boring to watch because “everyone just shoots 3 pointers and dunks”. Do they not notice the complex chess match of switches and screens and fakes and cuts and one the nose passes that lead up to every shot attempt?!

  7. Castle literally fouling in the thumb nail and you crybabies act like this is good defense lol

  8. Let's GO RAPTORS GO!🇨🇦🦖🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉👍🏾👍👍🏽👍🏼🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🦖🦖🦖❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🦖🦖🦖
