hello friends it's the 2018 NBA Playoffs, a place where dreams GO 2 DIE

lol not sure the bulls would want to do that

seems like a bulls type thing to do

interesting

there’s a chance the wall contract isn’t a complete disaster but they need to churn a lot of that roster

rozier looking like a major success

they’re paying otto porter like $90 million

wall seems like he needs a fresh start somewhere else

Bucks need a coach soooo baaaad

the fact that wall and beal not so secretly hate each other makes it harder to argue that they should keep both of them, problem is wall is probably untradeable

john wall for kemba, who says no

lol jaylen in the post game interview calling the bucks out for going under screens on him when he shot 40% from 3 for the season

they’re paying otto porter like $90 million

another shot in the efficiency wars lol

wall contract has real albatross potential imo

yeah one reason they shd move him now

these super max deals are proving to be a nuisance.

so do the wizards

i really dont like evan turner's game at all

its not a good game

when aminu makes a 3 portlands in stadium announcer shd say "aTHREEnu" imo

jrue is sneaky athletic

i dont understand how the pelicans looked badly coached for gentrys whole time there except now they look really well coached

willingness to adapt also jrue is much better without boogie

we know so little about coaching

man speak for yrself i know lots abt coaching

put me in, coach

jrue's had a rly weird career arc but i'm glad he seems to be good again and at peace w/ his game

Gentry tie is bad.

oh i meant to chime in on some above evan turner talk but, like, he's bad now yes but he's seriously *so much better* lately than he's been for most of the last couple seasons. by which i mean he's less often actively sabotaging his own team through being an absolute space cadet on the floor

jrue is playing out of his mind

yeah hes a useful player, obv very overpaid, but for me it's just his game is just ugly, horrible to watch aesthetically xp

mirotic trade ended up being a stroke of genius

the pelicans rule, this is wild

playoff rondo

i forgot about rondo shitting on the celtics in the first round last year until he got hurt

unreal pass by rondo a few mins ago

good game

R O N D O

WWWOOO

that mirotic three was gorgeous too. and theyre getting all the loose balls atm

etwaun moore really choked like crazy there and got bailed out twice

sorta weird they were clearing out the entire floor for jrue and just taking brow out of the play even with jrue playing like an assassin

what a win

that was an awesome game. so demoralizing for the blazers.

basically portland is playing like the team that absolutely stumbled into the post-season down the stretch and that's not a team that wins big games

yeah bad time to slump.

btw the pelicans essentially traded saric and noel for jrue. seems like a great trade in retrospect!

morotic for a 2nd rounder too iirc?

they got mirotic and a second for a first. at the time it felt like an overpay but now seems like a fair trade for both sides

mirotic looks bigger than he did on the bulls, is playing defense and so forth, wild

Telling quote from LeBron James on Wednesday looking back at the season and looking smack in the face of the 0-1 deficit the Cavs are in against Indiana:

"I think we spent so much time trying to figure out who we were in the regular season and getting the right lineups and guys in and out and things of that nature, we could never build for the playoffs. It was kind of like, build for the next game. So the postseason finally hit us and it hit us very well. And I think that can be the best teacher for us to know exactly what we should be ready for tonight."
