Around The NBA: 2019-20 RESTART

Presti's setup is good for the future. In the past the with drafting 19-20 year olds in a setting like the NCAA, tanking for a #1 pick was the best rebuild.

But with Adam Silver saying the ultimate NBA goal is to draft 18 year olds again, I would prefer multiple picks in the first round versus 1 higher pick.

Picks 3-6 didn't make it, Bulls did well on that draft even with Coby's horrendous season start.

Tatum isn't getting to the rim against Wiseman.

Man, this Boston and Miami series is gonna be a fun one. Could be an all timer for entertainment value.

Hope they can go all the way.

Jesus. That was amazing. Went from a Tatum poster to a defensive clinic real quick.

I said it before and I will say it again. You still need size in today's NBA.

Miami might be only team left good enough to prevent another Celtics/Lakers finals. 2010 to 2014 Jeffster81 would have said, "Huck the Feat" but I still like Jimmy and they have a certain bravado about them that I would like for the Bulls to play with, so 2020 Jeffster says, "Let's go Heat." I am cool with never seeing another Lakers/Celtics finals.

In his 3rd season away from the Bulls, and by winning a game in the Conference Finals -Jimmy Butler has matched the very pinnacle achieved in the 18 years of Pax / GarPax.

Unless they are gentleman swept (doubtful), he will surpass their greatest success.

We won the Jimmy trade! :lol:

I gotta take hats off for Tyler Herro. Dude is a baller. Nearly a triple dub off the bench in the ECF.

When Dragic leaves, I think he is going to possible lead the team in scoring.

If Clippers dont win this series, its either a clippers curse or something.

What a great finish to that game. Not often anymore you see a huge block be the deciding play in a game. And Jimmy- what can you say - he's so clutch. Good for him.

I still think BOS will win the series though- MIA had to shoot 44% from 3 to win this one, plus have things go their way in the last minute. Boston looks like a little better team. But we'll see....
