He’s a dirty little fucker - the move where he dribbles around someone in open court then stops right in front of them so they run into him to draw a foul just does my head in. It’s up there with kicking the leg out on a shot attempt (Steph), the reaching the arms through and up (Harden) and general flopping (Bron)
I’m all about TFG and Wemby, 7 footers with the right attitude

Looks like they got a good one

Harrison knocked down the Mavs and rebuilt in his image. I bet he is fired within 1-2 seasons

some interesting Game 1s of the play offs proper
Pacers pumping the Bucks
As expected, fuck all separating the Clippers and the Nuggets
Knicks and Pistons looks a close series as well, 1-1 as of a couple of hours ago
Timberwolves blowing out the Lakers on the road
Thunder getting 50 in front of the Grizzlies in the third, and then making a statement by staying there
Celtics easily over the Magic, and Cavs the same over the Heat
Butler and Curry taking care of the Rockets on the road.Be interesting to see which series involves a team making adjustments and competing now.

@mariner4life some of those Curry 3s were Olympic Games esque. They’ll be pleased with the defensive effort keeping them to sub 90 points but they did ship a shed load of offensive boards.

One was fucking ridiculous. Any other player gets roasted for a fundamentally awful option
And Steph swishes it
-
The one on Jalen Green on the right side of the court was crazy given Green had played it very well to not foul but be in his grill.
There was one on the left side and Butler was on the bench and Butler’s reaction was priceless. Genuine shock that he had hit it.

Adams the only Rocket with a positive +/- in that game. And it was genuine impact, they cut the lead from 20ish to 5ish while he was on the floor, Warriors couldn't keep him off the O boards and he ran some of the offence to good effect. Unsure why they benched him though he was likely gassed.

He can’t play too many minutes these days plus the switching ultimately catches up to him. But he’s still top 2 in O boards.
He’s there to give baby Joker a rest by and large.

Lakers gone. That trade worked out well!
Don't be too hasty. They overachieved this season, they need some bigs

There was something very odd about them claiming that Mark Williams failed his physical

I hate the lakers, but I will admit that this year I would have liked to have seen them make the second round or finals, just as a fuck you to Nico.
If they had got Williams I think they may have got there. It's a good question for LBJ, how much longer does he stick around for?
-
I think the bigger question for the Lakers (as a sports team not a business) is:
Is LBJs "it's amazing he's doing this at 40" numbers and performance justify a Supermax? One of the very greatest of all time, who can still stuff a stat sheet, but you need more from a guy getting paid that in order to be successful. His 4th quarters were not good. His defense is not good (and yet not the worst on his team aye Luka?). Still genuinely good, and quite frankly that's incredible at his age. But that age caveat doesn't equal wins in an incredibly balance league these days.
I think he goes again, and why wouldn't he if he still feels good. But they are going to be limited in the moves they can make, and it will take some incredibly good deals to turn this team in to a genuine title contender given the money tied up in two players, and the deficiencies they both have.

The hater in me says he'll announce his last season in advance so he gets the full retirement tour.
Which quite frankly he deserves.
