I took the cheese. I know better than to drop the amount I put down, but I didn't think there was any way the coaching would be bad enough to let the team lose tonight.


They need to fire their head coach.
 
I need the Lakers to start losing some games but they've found their MOJO in the stretch run

Celtics one again showing that they are soft both mentally and physically, and costing me almost all my dinglebucks over the course of just 2 games.
 
Both teams have put themselves in bad positions when it comes to the playoffs.
Yup. Nobody to blame but ourselves. Ruining Curry's prime which is running out
 
I don't expect my GSW to do much this season or even get into the playoffs, but if they do there's a slim chance.
 
The New York Knicks announced that Julius Randle will have season-ending shoulder surgery, closing the door on a potential return for a playoff run. Randle has been sidelined since January with a dislocated shoulder, and while there was some hope that he could make a return at the end of the season or in the playoffs, earlier this week Shams Charania reported that he hadn't been cleared for anything more than controlled contract drills. Randle sought the advice of two specialists who told him he could cause permanent damage to his shoulder if he tried to play again, making surgery inevitable, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski...

Julius Randle to have season-ending shoulder surgery as Knicks prepare for NBA playoffs
 
Giannis went down with a non-contact injury in the calf area during tonight's game. I hope he's alright but, unfortunately, that often ends up being an Achilles tear, and he'd already been dealing with Achilles tendonitis, so that would seem be make some kind of a tear even more likely.



Edit: It seems to be good news for Giannis. An MRI revealed nothing more than a calf strain.

Nice money, if you can get it. When I heard about this earlier, I was happy with it while being worried about his play declining in the last two years of the deal. It also left me with two questions:


  1. Can they still extend White?
  2. How do they find the money for another big, given Horford's age and the likelihood of his decline moving forward?
There’s no actual cap. It’s how much luxury tax the owner is willing to pay.

1. White is their best player. Esoecially with Holiday’s age it would be crazy to choose Holiday over White.

2. I think they’ll just need to roll with KP and a journeyman backup center.

Keep in mind all of the advanced stats suggest Jaylen Brown does not help the team, they’re 11-0 without Jaylen Brown with a much larger margin of victory, their net rating improves without him, and the Celtics brass highly values these things. They couldn’t trade him last year due to the cap and were forced to give him a max contract since he was voted All NBA (undeservedly.) Trading him frees up a ton of money as and could also gain them a lot of picks or that second big.
 
Klay needs to retire the moment the bus arrives at SF. 0 points dude WTF
