Not in my book. Anyone care to comment?

Without a doubt with the NBA hall standards. 3rd team all nba, 6 time all star, and nba champion. 85.7% chance per BBR. I’d vote for him, maybe not first ballot, but he gets in.

How about those New York Knicks?
They have pretty much controlled the Cavs in this series with the exception of 1 game.

Assuming they eliminate Cleveland, they'll be a tough out in the 2d round.

Morant reminds me so much of John Wall. A couple spectacular plays followed by a couple of obnoxious idiotic plays. I don’t see the “it” factor or killer instinct. It’s all about being more athletic and faster than everyone.

Grizzlies down 3-1 to the Lakers... I think this ones over.

Bucks are down 3-1 to the HEAT. I think Milwaukee wins at home in Game 5. Jimmy Butler had one of the more historic games in NBA playoff history and willed Miami in Game 4 when they looked finished.

Budenholzer really is a terrible coach in the postseason.

Watching Butler last night and Lauri winning MIP, made me think "jeeze, at least we're not the Bulls FO"

they're the 2010's-2020's version of the Wizards when we were giving away Ben Wallace, Sheed, Rip, etc.

Morant for all his flaws, is still probably a better player than Wall. Ja can finish better and draws more fouls. Wall's a better defender.

Wall may have his flaws but I feel like Wall would pass the ball here https://streamable.com/f8og54

I don’t think Sacramento won the sabonis trade. Haliburnton is so much better. Not really impressed with sabonis

Bucks showed so much low basketball IQ from Budenholzer to Giannis...its like they wanted to lose.

Butler playing like an MVP but what about Spo? He is a hall of fame coach in my opinion…

Spo has been the best coach in the league for a decade with possible exception of Pops.

Just curious who everyone is rooting for at this point, if anyone--thoughts? Personally I'd love to see Jokic get a ring
