Oh I agree. I'm just answering the poster who asked why would they still tank.....because at the end of the day their draft pick still will be bad and be their most valued pick.

Carlisle did say during the Clippers series that he thinks Rondo is going to be a great coach someday. Good thing he’s not on the search committee.

Looks like Harden is back to his old flopping self. Refs need to stop bailing him out. Looks like he is kicking his feet out on his 3’s.

Bud apparently forgot you have to draw up a play after a timeout. Brooke Lopez with the brain fart and gets a shot clock violation. Durant hits a ridiculous shot to tie the game. Incredible game 7

I could not believe this all the way around. It was a strange play call but also how did he not know to shoot it? His block in OT was huge though.

Probably not. Brooklyn would’ve won had they hired Vaughn as head coach and not Steve Nash and Mike Dan and Tony.

Huerter scored 27 points against Seth Curry. Defense matters when it counts.

Ben Simmons with another stinker. I wonder if the 76er’s look to shake things up this offseason.

You think? Maybe Dallas could get Simmons so he can join a cast of characters that can continue to not support Luka on offense.

lol Sixers fans are throwing out Simmons for Lillard.
That would be like trading KP for Kevin Durant.

Just glad that Cade is going east it looks like. Sick of most good young players coming West. It's so loaded with young stars in West. Luka, Morant, Zion, Booker, and Mitchell.

I rly hope Suns win. CP3 is kinda a tool but I like when a vet like him wins a ring without riding another's tailcoat. And I have always liked booker.

I'm good with Bucks or Suns. Hate the Clippers and don't like Trae Youngs showboating, although I do like the the rest of the Hawks. Wish we got Bogdonovic and he wanted to play with Luka.

Such a heartbreaking ending for him after such a phenomenal performance, just couldn't quite close tonight.

Playoff P is back!
Sucks that both of these teams aren’t at full strength, but injuries happen. As much as I dislike CP3 fuck the Clips. Suns in 4!

The Boston Celtics are finalizing an agreement to hire Brooklyn Nets assistant Ime Udoka as the franchise's new coach, sources tell ESPN.

6 coaching jobs left, one of them Dallas. Hard to believe we'll get a slam dunk.

I think Dallas is the best opening IMO. I thought Rick to Boston made perfect sense, but I guess not. Curious where he ends up now. I’d assume he’s not interest in a rebuild. Maybe Portland?

Came out of the Spurs and worked with Marks on the Nets. I’m guessing this would have been a guy on the search firm’s radar.

I don't think they will but, if the Hawks won the NBA championship I think that'd be the biggest upset in NBA history. They fired their coach in the season and had a losing record, plus they're not exactly a super team anyway. It'd be like NC State winning the Men's College Championship.

They aren’t the same type of team but they remind me of Miami last year.
Have to give credit to the hawks gm. He built a great team around Trae.

HE did and did it fast with draft picks. Faster than the Mavs did and they invested their future to fast forward the process.

God I would love to have John Collins, Clint Capella rolling to the rim with Luka and Bogdonovic as a secondary ball handler/creator. Our team sucks compared to the Hawks. Thanks a lot Donnie

I biggest revelation is how much better Young's team is versus the Mavs. Imagine if they had drafted Luka...
But I like them. Not their fans, but the team is fun to watch.

I think Trae works better for what they want to do though. Then they got Cam Reddish as well. Gotta give it to them...I thought they'd regret it....but they seem to be ok.

Great game last night for the Hawks. They've got a decent amount of everything including solid guard play along with size and athleticism around the rim. A star in Young who plays with no fear along with some great role players is a fantastic recipe for success. (i.e. Mavs 2011)
