I don’t agree with the call, but I think they were allowing the play a minute before where Paul got raked across the face play a part in their decision.

Cam Payne is an off the charts obnoxious type of defender, players like that tend to draw these things in series more than one game in the regular season.

Saw Monte was worst on the team in +/- for the Nuggets. Wasnt able to watch, but see his offensive numbers were decent. Was he the one responsible for the bulk of CP3's 37?

I'm not sure I would recommend any young player go "home" to play professionally.

Sure, but the fans still ******* suck.

Bulls, Blackhawks and WhiteSox fans aren't bad at all.

Bears fans are among the worst in sports. Cubs fans are just unique with lots of good and bad.

I'm talking about Chicago born and raised fans, Bears fans in Iowa tend to be normal fans. I grew up cheering for the Cubs and Bulls but never had an NFL or NHL team. During the 15 years I lived in Chicago I was 100% repulsed by Bears fan and Bears media (there is no sports media, there is only Bears media). White Sox fans are identical twins with ISU fans.

There aren't a ton of Bulls fans per capita in Chicago but the fans they have are solid fans. There are a lot of non sports fans and tourists who go to Bulls games for something to do or to see the Jordan statue.

He had to check Booker quite a bit as well, most of CP3's (and PHX as a whole) centers around Porter Jr being a liability on the defensive end. Paul strategically went at him the entire series.

Bulls fans totally suck. They’re like Nebraska fans. Think they still belong in the conversation because of success in the 80s and 90s when in reality they haven’t been relevant in decades.

Totally agree!

Dozier would have helped Denver a TON on D. Not that he'd have shut down Booker but he's easily the best player Denver has to defend him. Denver was hit by injuries about as bad as anybody.
