Around the NBA 12

Game 7 is now a win win. Celtics and their fans suck, so it would be sweet to see them come up short on their comeback bid and also listen to Bill Simmons whine and complain. Heat also suck, especially with how their fans treated us in our last two playoff series in 2016 and 2012, so it would be sweet to see them choke a 3-0 lead

I watch games like that and envision the Hornets doing anything like that in the playoffs and get goose bumps. Until then I'll just watch Jeremy lambs heave from half court against the raptors. Game meant nothing but I ran around the house like a rabid raccoon.

I was in the house for that AND for Kemba's game-winning buzzer beater. oh, and the David Ayres game between the Leafs and Hurricanes. I tell you, moving to Toronto and being a fan of teams not from Toronto is one of the best things going. never disappoints!

C. Martin has been one of the best players in the playoffs

Assuming Cody's knee checks out his trade value has to be pretty high.

I don't see how anyone who played less than 10 games this past season with knee issues and was a role player to begin with could have high trade value.

His knee is an issue.

Lol caleb going off again. Good god we can't catch a break. We keep the one twin with knee issues while caleb looks like the best 3 and d player in modern nba history in the playoffs.

Caleb was always the better scorer but didn’t expect this!

Nuggets in 4. They're going to sweep the Heat easily.

See how Caleb goes against porter jr and Gordon. Bigger more athletic opponents.

Jokic is going to destroy them

I think we sat him all year because we decided fairly early to tank the season. The team didn't even bother to give any real update on his knee.

I also love how important Robinson has been to Miami when it seemed they were trying to offload him all year

Eh we brought everyone else that got hurt back. I see no reason to think we wouldn't bring back Cody Martin.

I don't think Cody has any trade value.

Caleb however.....yeah...

This makes me paranoid when it comes to us "giving up" on players too soon.

I feel like it's almost guaranteed PJ will become a 20/10 player and Miles will become a 22/8/5 player if they leave.

Caleb Martin thoroughly outplayed Jaylen Brown in this series, gives me pause about trading the #2 pick for Brown

We featured Plumlee on offense, we're a really dumb organization, but there's no way that wasn't intentional. We totally tanked this season.

Nah. We brought literally everyone back that got hurt. Sitting Lamelo would be tanking. It's Cody Martin, not Kawhi Leonard.

I concluded than Brown is a #2/#3 option. He doesn't seem to have a good handle or playmaking skills.

So who's the next player on this roster that will leave and blow up on another team? I know the Heat have been trying to pry PJ Washington away from us, so he's one.
