All Eyes On Me

So, Warriors get 10 days to rest and get healthy while Toronto and Milwaukee are gonna beat the hell out of each other for 7 games.

I think the chances of KD staying are almost zero.

Dubs in 5 Bucks in 6 If KD plays in the Finals, Dubs in 6, if he doesn’t, Bucks in 7

It’s all media spin. Dame was asked about it directly and said it’s not effecting his game much, but basketball media knows who their fan favorite sweethearts are and it knows the guys fans love to hate. Guys like Steph and Dame struggle and they must be hurt, guys like LeBron or KD struggle and they’re losing a step or there’s a problem with team chemistry. Don’t get me wrong, I love Steph and Dame and they’re almost completely blameless in it, but it’s just how the media handles the league nowadays

No finalists for any of the NBA season awards for our Magic.. top 3 for coach are Budenholzer, Rivers and Malone where we could argue Clifford, top 3 for sixth man are Williams, Harrell and Sabonis where we could really really argue Ross

Sounds like he tested positive for some sort of heavy illicit drug. Can apply for reinstatement in 2 years

I really wonder how much Gasol and Green have left in the tank. They’re both old with a ton of miles on the tires and getting worse every game and Nurse is running them in to the ground with what’s pretty much a 6 man rotation.

lol at the Raptors losing when Flop goes for 30. Perfect! Great showing by Lopez, not sure I’ve ever seen him play better

I guess it all depends on if AD keeps his list and if the Pelicans respect it. Don’t know how much a 1 year rental can get you in many places. Maybe they’ll get a deal like DeRozan for Kawhi but I just can’t think of who. You’re right on Tatum, they’d potentially have to add Brown as well and even more to make salaries work. Maybe they just stay put and hope a fun year of playing with Zion and Jrue changes his mind.

I think if they deal AD, the only spot is Boston. Would let the Pels potentially rebuild around Zion and Tatum. LA would’ve been much more of a player with a top 3 pick. This draft just falls off so hard after 3

Is it possible for admins to see who dishes out upvotes and downvotes? There’s like 5 or 6 posts in the past few pages that have a downvote for no reason. Sucks to have rep docked by a troll

Kind of nice not having to be disappointed by ping pong balls tonight for the first time in awhile.

especially after he got arrested last night. his value is almost so low right now that it’s not worth trading him.

I feel like if you flipped your sentence just changing player names around it could mean close to the same thing. Kawhi will slow down Giannis and the Bucks will be done. Antetokounmpo has carried this team Alone. Period. It’ll be an interesting series for sure. Lowry/Bledsoe is a push, depending on Brogdon’s health, he’s better than Green, Giannis vs Kawhi is a push, Middleton vs Siakam is a push, Gasol vs Lopez is a push. What really killed Toronto against Philly was their bench, they only ran 7 guys last night! On depth alone, I’ll take the Bucks, but it should be fun

Yeah, Lue wanted a 5 year deal and to pick his own staff of assistants, Lakers offered him a 3 year deal and said you have to have Jason Kidd as your lead assistant. Such a **** show in La La Land

There was probably a ton of pressure by the fan base against them naming Kidd as the guy because of his reputation in his previous coaching jobs and the fact that he’s a known domestic abuser. Kidd is the main reason Lue turned down the job.

I’m not sure who I want to win with that one today. I have strong dislikes for the way Lowry and Ben Simmons both play basketball. I strongly disagree with your Pascal Siakam take though, he reminds me of a lesser version of what Isaac can turn in to soon.

Seems to me they just hired a placeholder to be the fall guy when the fans get mad at another slow start. They want Kidd to be head, they just need a sacrificial piece in his place before they give him the job. Just like Blatt with Lue

With Jason Kidd there primed to take his job the second there’s any adversity

I was a hardcore Rozier guy until this year, but if we sign him and he gets minutes and Fultz doesn’t (assuming no injury setback) I’ll be extremely disappointed

rumor is that he hurt himself when he tripped Embiid... yikes

Yeah, but Giannis is especially frustrating because there’s a lot of guys that are difficult to guard without fouling, he just gets every. single. call...

Unpopular hot take, Giannis and Harden are hurting my love for basketball. They both live at the line and aren’t officiated consistently with the rest of be league.
