Incredibly insightful stuff from Haynes. Draymond is watching the game! Wow!

Barkley don’t wanna be there
It’s incredibly impressive just how awful Shaq’s takes are. Everything he says is completely wrong and off the reservation. Truly elite stuff
Shaq is awful...consistently. I mean, he's just dumb. Barkley on the other hand I quite enjoy even if his takes tend to be pedestrian he does make me laugh. But this whole "I don't wanna be here/I'm bored...." act is getting old. Give me a break -- you're being paid a million. Quit if you don't want to be there.

Curry falls over shooting a three. Foul called. comes up with his arms raised like he just won the title to get the crowd pumped up.

Edit: pisses me off that the Celtics lost to these show ponies

Curry does that all the time. During the pre-game at last year’s finals, they showed him practicing falling down after shooting threes.

Doubly so when you remember that the bubble Heat were excellent at getting to the line (1st in the league in FTR) and this year's Suns were terrible at getting to the line (28th in FTR). Most of that was without Durant, but he doesn't move the needle THAT much (if he'd played enough minutes to qualify, he would have been 42nd in FTR this year).
Doubly so when this obvious take foul on Booker was not called. Like. WTF is up with the NBA officiating this year. Its as bad as I have ever seen it.

I'm just here to lmao that Embiid's annual physical and mental breakdown has already started, and it's only game 3 of a cupcake 1st round.

I'm sure he'll go off against the Cs some, but he is just so, so soft.

They lost because of Claxton
I thought the irony of ironies was when Claxton got mixed up w/Embiid, he had to shoot the Flagrant 1 and the Sixers got to choose who shot the technical ... Harden missed and Claxton, who wouldn't be a good high school jv foul shooter, made his.

Agreed on all that you said.

Shaq is wrong but it’s a special kind of being wrong. He says it with so much confidence and it is all so fucking stupid it’s incredible. Its almost like he’s playing a character in a sketch but it’s clearly just his actual analysis

Understatement. He's uncovered all night as LA doubles Booker and Durant, and he's 5-18 on top of that massive choke at the line. Phoenix would be a much better team if their veteran point guard were Conley instead of Paul.
I don’t think there’s anyway this Phoenix team can make the finals. They have no depth and Monty can’t keep riding KD and CP3 like this and expect them to keep playing well.
I thought their only chance was if they were able to roll the Clippers and save some of their bullets for future rounds but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen

Shaq is the Draymond Green of NBA commentators. When he is surrounded by Hall of Famers on Inside the NBA, he looks pretty good, but when he hast to carry the show as the lead dog on NBA TV, he is a freaking disaster

That is an unbelievable missed call.
your telling me! :-/
And because that did not happen in the last two mins the NBA wont have to explain how a fucking NBA official who is working the playoffs missed a foul so obvious it makes someone wonder what the NBA is trying to hide
