Casey really about to win COTY and get the boot in the offseason. Only the Raptors LOL

Getting a Brad Stevens personality vibe with the Borrego hire for the Hornets.

Lebron isn't leaving the east because if he does he won't make it to the finals every year.

At least the Raptors fans can watch their baseball team.

Oh, the Blue Jays were no-hit once again?

Antoine Walker's volume shooting little replica in Utah hit some shots in the 3rd quarter. Interesting. Swedish Larry Bird doesn't volume shoot, he took a 3 and hit a 3. That is all. Jae Crowder is bricking. In the playoffs, when he is bad the Jazz win. When he has a huge offensive game, they lose.

LeBron to Philadelphia, do it. Embiid, Saric, Covington, Simmons, LeBron won't work. They won't be able to bring back shooters Redick, Belinelli, Ilyasova unless their are secret deals and huge discounts on minimum deals. Simmons needs the ball all the time, LeBron always has the ball all the time, might be a problem.

Cleveland, Houston or Los Angeles, probably ahead of the 76ers. Surprised he doesn't plead to join the Celtics, as without Kyrie Irving on his team he would have won much fewer NBA titles.

I expect Lebron to either stay in Cleveland or go to Philly. The West goes through the Warriors. There's no superteam he can assemble in the West that will have an advantage in that matchup.

AD please come to join C's. We will build a dynasty.

Seriously. Unexpected playoff run aside, he's wasting his time in New Orleans.

I hope rockets come to play vs warriors. Should be a fun series. Interested in the matchups. I liked Pelicans idea tonight but warriors still find ways to score. Double Durant, give Draymond and Iggy space to shoot.

FYI if LBJ sign and trades to the Rockets they'd have a better team than the Sixers IMO...it allows them to keep both Capela and CP3, and Ariza.

Think you guys are overselling the Eastern Conference thing too much. Already been stated LeBron isn't content making the Finals every year just to lose...he wants to win it all. Houston is his spot to do that.

If LA, it's because he wants to ride out his career.

Golden State in 6, with greater likelihood of 5 than 7.

Warriors aren't repeating, because Celtics. WHY NOT US?!?

Keep it here for more ridiculous homerific hot takes.

LOL. They petty.

Read on Twitter

The other seven coaches to receive votes from their peers were Philadelphia’s Brett Brown, Houston’s Mike D’Antoni, Indiana’s Nate McMillan, San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich, Utah’s Quin Snyder, Portland’s Terry Stotts and the Los Angeles Clippers’ Doc Rivers.

Brad is a very humble guy, but I'm sure that he's a little bit irked by this. Not one single vote? Really? Doc Rivers got a vote? Lol

LOL at the Dwayne Casey press conference right now. Masai Ujiri is Bryan Colangelo, repackaged. I can't believe they aren't firing Casey after getting swept by the Cavs 2 years in a row. Ujiri just spitting out catch-phrases right now, blaming the non-flagrant call on Love's elbow from game 1 as being pivotal in that series.

However, as awful as Casey has been in the playoffs....you know what? He definitely deserves the COTY award. Think about it - the Raptors won 59 games this season, which is an impressive feat, because if you take a look at their starting 5, and there's not one guy aside from Valanciunas that could start on our team. And I'm not even talking about our opening night lineup. I'm talking about our lineup after all of our injuries that are currently playing tonight.

Rozier > Lowry
Brown > DD
Tatum > OG
Horford > Ibaka
Baynes < Valanciunas

Peja is the assistant GM for the Kings. God bless Vivek Ranadive. Seems like the guy is more concerned about hanging out with old NBA players than he is about hiring people with actual experience. That Kings pick just got more valuable, which is remarkable considering how we haven't even finished the 2018 lottery yet.
