It seems that Doc Rivers genius defensive adjustment of playing the Hornets every other game coming out of the all star break is no longer working. I'm shocked.

Crickets on the Bucks recent struggles.

The sky was falling when we lost to the Cavs and Nuggs.

The media is so disingenuous man.

Doc’s adjustment of playing the Clippers without PG, Kawhi and Westbrook was brilliant coaching though.

Adrian Griffin might become the only coach to receive CoTY in the season where he got fired.

Lol

Appearing on Draymond Green’s eponymous podcast, Isiah Thomas explained that if Durant had not signed with Golden State and led them to back-to-back NBA championships, the team would have been remembered differently. “Let me make a bold statement here and I hope this doesn’t upset you,” Thomas said. “Before Kevin Durant arrived in Golden State, y’all were on the verge of pshh [going down] and being remembered as the team that went 73-9 and lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals.”

(This is OG Isiah Thomas, not our "little guy.")

Last night was the Kings' 1st win over the Bucks since Feb 2016. Bucks had won 15 straight meetings.

Nuggets just win their 8th straight win against The Heat.

Will coach Spo or Butler cop the media and fan grilling Joe and Tatum got after our recent loss to Denver (which was a pretty gusty effort, would have won if we made Free Throws)

Super alpha clutch god that never fails to deliver in big games Jimmy Butler with 15 points on 16 shots and 2 assists.

Last season I wasn't excited getting to the finals and losing to Denver.

This season the Cs can defeat Denver in the finals.

The loss of Bruce Brown and Uncle Jeff, plus the Cs adding KP, Jrue, and X gives the advantage to the Cs.

What a get by Dallas. Always wanted Gafford for the Cs. This is what Rob could've been if he wasn't injury prone and if he played with a PG like Doncic.

Do we know what the excuse is going to be for the heat this year when they flame out?

Dwane Casey, George Karl. There may have been others.

Denver beat us both times we played them this year and are the defending champs. They also have the best player in the world. In what universe can you say we have the advantage over them? Oh wait. You are the guy who said Tatum is better than Larry Bird. Never mind.

It's close but Denver is still better and the favorite.

Talk to me again, if you're still alive, in 2030.
