Fun fact: the Rockets win (maybe even the title) with Bev, Lou and Harrell instead of Paul

Love these playoffs so far. Floppets gone and dream scenario now would be Durant out or not returning to form. Then GSW could even win a title, bc that wouldn't count to douche Durant's résumé. And I don't mind any of the other teams winning either.

@JoshEberley: The James Harden Rockets have lost elimination games against both Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard teams without Durant and Leonard. Let that marinate.

Rockers are trash, but who is surprised by that? D'Antoni ball never wins in the playoffs.

Frank Vogel has agreed to a three-year deal to become the next coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources told ESPN. Vogel met with Lakers management on Thursday and talks escalated quickly toward an offer on Saturday to end the franchise’s tumultuous coaching process with his hiring, sources said. – via ESPN
Jason Kidd has agreed to a deal to become a prominent assistant coach on Vogel’s staff, league sources said. The Lakers are enthusiastic about the prospects of Kidd working with point guard Lonzo Ball on a full-time basis, and Kidd does have a strong relationship and history with LeBron James. –

Kanter might have just earned himself another big contract.

Kawhi with the most dramatic buzzer beater I've ever seen.

Really fun ending to the Raptors-Sixers series. I can’t believe that last shot went in. Shooters roll I guess.

Dude, that was 100% divine intervention... The Basketball Gods deemed Kawhi Leonard WORTHY.

What happened to Ben Simmons? There is no question Luka is a better player IMO.

@ShamsCharania: Pacers free agent Tyreke Evans has been dismissed and disqualified from the league for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program.
@AlexKennedyNBA: Tyreke Evans must wait 2 years to apply for reinstatement after being "dismissed and disqualified from the league for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program." Chris Andersen went through this too. He was dismissed in 2006 and was reinstated in 2008, joining Denver.

Eh, Toronto still has little chance especially with Brogdon back in the lineup. Good game though...finally.

rofl, Magic throwing the entire Lakers franchise under the bus to make him look better.
Have fun signing Demarcus Cousins in the offseason. Why should anyone go there with all the other much better options, including the Clippers in the same city...

Actually stand with Magic. Lakers are a trash franchise.
Magic is terrible too, but I love how the whole franchise looks like a dumpster fire. Everyone thought getting LeBron would give them prestige status, but they are still a quarreling group of children.

Magic is an idiot. All he cares for is himself.
Now he wants to make himself look better and get Pelinka fired. If it costs the Lakers a big FA, he doesnt care.

Anyone else a little nervous about Kawhi Leonard's leg?
He looks to be struggling with it and you can tell he is playing hurt.

Is it the same leg that started the Spurs drama? Either way, he said he's playing through it and it's playoff basketball. Love that.

Yes it is the same leg and I also like that he is playing through it - but I would hate
to see him get injured by gutting it out.

Raptors guard Danny Green was the highest vote-getter not to make either roster, receiving 19 First Team votes and appearing on 28 Second Team ballots. Patrick Beverley, Derrick White, Jimmy Butler, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, James Harden, Malcolm Brogdon and Stephen Curry all logged First Team votes in the backcourt but fell well short of the requisite number of votes to make either team.
While four deserving guards filled the All-Defensive guard slots, there were some head-scratching votes in the backcourt, including the First Team nods for Harden and Curry and a Second Team bid for Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving.

I can see votes for Curry and Irving, but the person who sent in a 1st team vote for Harden needs their voting privileges revoked.

@LeftSentThis: Have you noticed that there hasn’t been a single story/controversy about the NBA refs since the Rockets were eliminated? There hasn’t been anyone falling down while shooting jumpers. None of that sh*t.
