Everything can change once they hit Oracle though...

Siakam is an absolute beast. Dude was unguardable last night and he's supposed to be a defense-first guy.

Rockets are my favorite storyline right now
Rockets break off talks about Mike, Dan, and Tony’s extension. They’re blowing it up

Too bad Chris Paul has negative value, specially after (again) clashing with teammates. And Capelas value took a solid hit in these playoffs too

I honestly wish GSW would have offered him a contract this season -- he so deserves to have a ring.

I did too, or at least sign with a contender. Is he a FA?

I never realized how much Curry flops. Dude falls down after every jump shot that is slightly contested. He’s perfected Harden’s, “jump forward 3 ft on a jump shot to create contact” move

So, Paul Pierce just admitted the reason he needed a wheelchair in the 2008 Finals was because he shit himself?

Always seems like the playoffs start off well and then turn out the same way every year. Beating the Warriors without Klay and Durant means diddly doo.

Whatever gets the Warriors to break up their all star team is what I want. The league needs to be more balanced.

Nets dumping Crabbe and have two max slots and there are plenty of Irving rumours. Damn it would be so damn epic if the Knicks end up with overpaying Cousins etc

Trade deets:
The Nets are sending Crabbe, the No. 17 pick in the 2019 NBA draft and a 2020 lottery protected first-round pick to the Hawks for forward Taurean Prince and a 2021 second-round pick, league sources said. The deal can’t be finalized until July 6
Signing Irving is only go to stunt Deangelo’s development. Their better off looking elsewhere imo.

@BillSimmons:
1. Toronto won 13 of the 16 quarters this series. None of this is a fluke. They’ve been better the whole time save for Game 2 third quarter.
2. Kawhi is 31-10-4 for the Finals and 31-9-4 / 50-38-89% for the whole playoffs. Also - he doesn’t exactly suck on D. What a run.

Where is Kawhi in the current landscape of the NBA?
Depending on opinion, it's gotta be a mix of LeBron, Kawhi, KD, Curry, Giannis, Harden, AD, Luka.

Kawhi and Durant in tier 1. Giannis and LeBron and Curry in tier 2. Harden, AD soon to be joined by Luka and maybe Jokic and healthy PG in the next tier. Embid, Towns, Butler, Dame, Blake, Dray, Klay, Kristaps, Westbrook, Kyrie’s ego in the flawed but nonetheless great in some way category. Gobert, Lowry,, Jrue, Kemba, Conley, Dipo, Beal and McCollum etc.
DeAron Fox may ascend next season. As may Siakam. Ben Simmons has no fire or jump shot. CP3 = washed

AD trade news:
Griffin is pursuing a combination of assets that include an All-Star player, a young player with All-Star potential and two first-round picks, league sources said. Those wants are on a sliding scale. For example, the better the player, the softer the asks on the draft picks — and vice versa. – via ESPN
AD narrows his list to the Knicks or Lakers. Obviously NOLA can send him anywhere, but can’t imagine another team offering much with out a guarantee he stays.

Sure looks like a possibility from the way he was grabbing it. If that's the case, I wouldn't want to be the Dr. if he was told that there wasn't risk of serious injury playing. :-O

Fans cheering that injury has just made me lose all interest in the Raptors winning. Stay classy.

Yeah, Lowry pulled a Westbrick and cost them the game. Sad, he has been playing well.

The Raptors tried to run out the clock after going up by 6 ....the biggest NO NO in sports. Keep playing until the end. Nobody stepped up after Leonard took over to give him some support and finish the game. A little disappointing and not good to give GS this type of win.

Yeah, I was yelling at the tv when the shot clock was down to 10 seconds and Lowry was still dribbling to burn clock. :-(

I have zero issues with the arena cheering when KD went down. It's passionate sports fans being caught rooting for their team. No complaints especially since we're living in a "ring or bust" world. Sportsmanship claims mostly come from those not emotionally invested.
