I clearly prefer playing the Nuggets than the Clippers. Especially after 7 first round games. Denver plays with only 7 - 8 players and in a logical way they are tired against a well rested Thunder team. LAC has a good bench in Jones, Bogdanovic, Dunn and Batum. They have more possibilities to change their line-ups.

It's a regular season award and Presti put together a record setting team so yes, he should win it. If were done after the lottery and Utah wins the #1 pick you could make a case for Ainge as he would have completed his goal for the season of the #1 pick. I don't see anyone else worth seriously considering...maybe Stone should get an honorable mention for the huge jump Houston took this year. Tanking doesn't win you the award so Ainge won't get considered, but Utah did exactly what they wanted this season in finishing with the worst record so I give Ainge credit for doing what he needed to do to put them in position to rebuild.

My ability to object to Presti's trade deadline doesn't mean he shouldn't win the award. Looking ahead to the off-season, if Wiggins continues to suck at shooting 3s in the playoffs I want him traded for an upgrade, i.e. Cam Thomas, in the off-season. I'm not sure Presti will do that and I know I am lower on Wiggins than most of the fan base, but the team is at the point where players should be judged on playoff performance not just the regular season.

They look like seat covers, but I'm guessing they are the game 1 t-shirts.

It's 2025 and I still hate both GSW and Houston so much. Therapy won't fix this.

The fact you think exec of the year should go to the guy who achieved his goal of worst team in the league, all while crying non stop about OKC's roster on the way to the 5th best season in NBA history has pretty much eliminated me from ever taking you seriously.

Just LOL. Give it a rest bro.

Thunder up!

This is kind of the series where we need to show that we are "legit". I mean it's gonna be the same if we advance to the WCF but the last time we won a playoff series against a good team was in 2016.

glad that Shai recognized that we couldn't hit a 3 so he tried by himself to be more aggressive

Not sure that two big men line up is good even against Jokic/Gordon.

bbms · Post #673 » by **bbms** » Tue May 6, 2025 2:14 am

i don't like that mark is shying away from using chet on jokic

that was one hell of a run with chet+caruso on jokic but cut short for no reason.

Post #674 » by **Dadouv47** » Tue May 6, 2025 2:46 am

our only offense in the non shai minutes is our defense.

Chet doing a great job on Jokic but gonna need to take care of stupid fouls all series..it can cost us a key game.

Well it's obvious that the only thing missing is making those stupid 3's...at this point I'm more confident about Jwill hitting a 3 than Joe, Cason or even Chet.

Post #675 » by **Dadouv47** » Tue May 6, 2025 3:33 am

where's JDub?

Post #676 » by **Dadouv47** » Tue May 6, 2025 4:26 am

Such a bad coaching job. Those fouls at the end were ridiculous.

bbms · Post #677 » by **bbms** » Tue May 6, 2025 4:28 am

gotta bounce back

so bad to waste such a great game by caruso

Post #678 » by **Dadouv47** » Tue May 6, 2025 4:31 am

if you don't make those stupid fouls the worst case scenario is denver tie and you have a chance to make a shot before it ends...that was a huge gamble

bbms · Post #679 » by **bbms** » Tue May 6, 2025 4:31 am

last season with the hack a lively

now this

why mark daigneault don't trust his defense?

Zagor · Post #680 » by **Zagor** » Tue May 6, 2025 8:12 am

I'm so pissed. Same problems from series with Dallas are happening again.

Rebounding problems, half court offense execution, Chet and Joe playing like ****. Mark taking bizarre decisions.

Going into game 2 I don't have faith in this team. When game is tight, they get scared. Kudos to Caruso and IHart who played on high level.

No way Chet is getting that max contract.
