Mike Malone won't be unemployed for too long. He will have his choice of jobs that are available and maybe a few that are not available yet.

The West just feels like it will have Lakers in the finals. We really gotta handle our business.

Lakers is a great bet . I could see it happening. That would be a dream for us (if we were healthy ofc). It would be a dream for the NBA too. ESPN would probably be 80 percent picking Lakers to win . Ha.

Earlier today I was talking myself into Joker abusing Chet’s skinny ass and upsetting the thunder only to lose to Boston in the finals. Theories not dead but I have a lot less faith in Denver doing anything this post season.

I like Ant the player but he's been in my doghouse since I watched that Netflix Starting 5 series, because of stuff like this. He's got way too many kids at such a young age for a guy who doesn't seem to care about any of them.

NBA star Anthony Edwards told the court he has no issues with his ex Ayesha Howard having full custody of their daughter, weeks after revealing he doesn't even want visitation with the kid.

Thankful for the stability in the Celtics org. Well, until the new ownership goes in and messes with it.

You do wonder if Denver spirals down… if OKC steps up this off-season.
hartenstein, jdub, topic & Dort plus 5-8 firsts for Jokic
OKC is one of the NBA cities most culturally comprarable to Denver … and Jokic could team with SGA and Presti for the next five years, a great co-star AND a great GM for the Joker… scary thought

Thibodeau is now the 4th longest tenured coach in the NBA (Pop, Spo and Kerr being the top 3). He was hired less than 5 years ago. Wild.

Can't help but feel like both Jokic and Giannis will be on new teams within two years. If I had to guess, Denver trades next deadline and Milwaukee waits and does something bad with a gun to their head two trade deadlines from now or he just leaves after that in FA.

Anyway, congrats to the Florida Gators for their first title since 2007.

I cant believe 2007 was 18 yrs ago. I remember that draft so well... I didnt think there was a chance we were gonna get Al Horford at #5 though, and, obviously, we traded #5 and Delonte for Ray, but I remember 2007 so clearly, seems so much like yesterday. Cray

Anywya, congrats Florida Gators! Now, let's get onto the NBA playoffs and the NBA draft combine and workout season!

Isn't that wild? Goes by in a flash. I remember that draft night so clearly. I had just graduated high school a month earler. Man I wish that I could replicate the emotions from that summer from the Ray and KG trades.
