    2020 Official Playoffs Thread

    Sucks the season could be over. The off season is going to suck too from what i heard. Keeping it simple, things like the draft and free agency won't happen until both sides negotiate a financial plan for next season. And before they can hammer that out they need to know if fans will attend games. TL;DR Do not expect a normal off season. No free agency, no draft until the money is renegotiated.Probably not until next year is what i'm reading in some places.

    You can never say never in this league, so those trades aren't impossible, but close to it. Brown and Ingram have already "hit" so those teams are not trading them unless it's for a star. Brown already has a contract and Ingram is about to get his, and they have the cap space. No problem with the post, it's a nice dream. We have to target guys about to breakthrough or players that are better fits for this team. Trust me i love wondering what this team would look like with a point guard like Jamal Murray or a shooting guard like Mitchell, but it's not happening. Same thing with the Jaylen Browns or Ingrams of the world, they haven't reach the same level but they are only getting traded for guys that are better then them that maybe demand a trade. I think we need to target bad teams like the Kings or teams who just had a disappointing postseason, like the Nuggets. Try to get some better fits or more offense.

    Yeah keep Clifford get rid of as many players as we can. Won't happen because this is how GM's lose jobs. So we will do something stupid and only win 21 games and then they will all get fired including Clifford. It takes everyone being on the same page to make real change. Keep Weltham, Keep Clifford, tell management what your trying to do, get everyone on the same page. Ditch some players, in the NBA no amount of coaching can overcome bad players, switching out gms without a vision sucks too.

    Can someone tell me what Fultz does that is even close to elite? Here is what i see. He can finish through contact, he is a pass first point guard. He has above average court vision but not above average passing to go with it. He has above average BBIQ on the defensive end but not even close to the motor or above average reflexes to take it to an elite level. He has a busted ass shot, but hey we all know this. No elite first step, no elite basket to basket speed, yeah maybe above average the few times we see it.His handles are nowhere close to elite, it's easier to see in the playoffs while we watch truly special players. Harder to realize this in the regular season. So what does he do that is Elite or extremely good?

    The ultimate Magic Draft pick. How long is his wingspan?

    Evan is going to get rid of himself. If he opts in it's because he likes living here more then we think or he really is best friends with Vucevic. Best thing that could happen is the higher ups telling Weltham it's ok to lose next year just fix the team....sadly that won't happen. So get used to mediocrity. They need a huge overhaul, but i'm not holding my breath. We are in serious cap hell so it can only get worse from here unless management is bold.
  7. Holy **** that shot, it hurts me to watch!!!
  8. It's only a 10 point lead, where's T-mac?
  9. What's next? Dogs and Cats living together?
  10. Wow, did the Magic just get a phantom call? OMG!
  11. Yeah the whole 3 ball thing is slowly ruining the game. The teams that shoot the 3 well and move the ball look pretty but for the other 20 teams it just makes for lots of blowouts and stupid fouls.
  12. Nah i would say not true....although in the past 6 years there have been some questionble games for the most part after the all-star break everyone plays hard. I just don't think some of our guys really love the game. What i mean is they are good at it but it's not their everything. However i think they try to earn their paychecks, except for like...Biyombo. Maybe
  13. Nah, heat still lose if Giannis stays healthy, at least that's my bet.
  14. This guy gets it! Another underrated trait in the NBA. That guy, the guy you don't like but makes **** happen.
  15. Man Kyle Korver looks like Cable, they should sign him up for the next Xmen movie.
  16. It's gonna be the Heat right? I like the shooters down there but not sure if they can slow down Giannis.
  17. LOL can't catch a break, tie the game,Giannis hit's a 3.
  18. refs can't be too bad they called offensive foul twice on Giannis today...
  19. These guys playing hard......
  20. Again, they must be reading this forum.......wow go Vucevic...oh darn....
  21. Nah it just looks fun right now... and we are doing better then the Pacers and Sixers, so we have that going for the team.
  22. Alright got to give him props right there....go Fultz. LOL he kinda looked like Jameer Nelson right there,
