The Bucks are absolutely smushing the Heat.
Payback Is A BITCH.
Big differences?
Jrue Holiday + PLUS
Tyler Herro - MINUS
PS: Happy for Bobby Portis. I got REAL tired of BoD breaking on him all last season, like he was a bum. 11-7 in 20 minutes a night, and 74-157 from trey [a .471% for those who are keeping score]. Reckon if we had cut and kept BP in a reup like we did Payton, we wouldn't have rediscovered Taj Gibson, so you can't have everything, but he is only 26, and in an effective platoon with Brook Lopez, who in the autumn of his years has become a pretty decent three point shooter and a better defender [was the #10 pick back in 2008, same year DRose was #1].
PPS: Like Thibs, I have great respect for Pat Riley and Heat Kulture, but I must say I am enjoying watching the Bucks obliterate them. Trading Olynk and Bradley [and a 2022 pick swap] for Oladipo has blown up in his face. Kelly O really blossomed in Houston, admittedly putting up serious stats for a crummy team, but Heat sure could have used his three point shooting last night, not that it would've made THAT much of a difference. ANYWAY, Pat got greedy, and overreached, and it looks like Oladipo won't even play in 2021-22. And in THIS YEAR's DRAFT, the Heat have NO DRAFT PICKS.
PPPS: Giannis only took 12 shots but he had 17 boards and five assists. Jrue Holiday was 7-10 with 12 assists and a garish +46 for the night. Just remember sports fans, that this Forum's Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Prophet Kiid, has NEVER WAVERED in his Quixotic defense of Donnie Douche for taking the execrable Jordan Hill [Devin Booker's cousin, who lasted all of 24 games with the Knicks, and who has been out of the league since 2017] when DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson and Jeff Teague were beckoning like low hanging fruit back in the 2009 draft. As was Brandon Jennings, who faded after a promising start, including 50 against the Knicks as I recall.
PPPPS:
MEMORY LANE [The Genius Of Donnie Douche] Tracy McGrady is heading to the New York Knicks, who now have more than $9 million of additional salary-cap space to use in free agency this summer.
The Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks have agreed to terms that expanded the Houston-Sacramento deal into a three-way trade.
The Knicks acquired McGrady and Sergio Rodriguez from Sacramento; the Rockets get Kevin Martin and Hilton Armstrong from Sacramento, and Jordan Hill and Jared Jeffries from New York.
"This deal is about putting a team together, players who can help us now and in the future," general manager Daryl Morey said. "We're excited about how this sets us up for now and especially in the next year."
Houston also has the right to swap first-round picks with New York in 2011, and the Rockets also get New York's 2012 first-round pick.
FOOTNOTE: The Earthly Remains of McGrady lasted all of 24 games with the Knicks. One less than Donnie Douche's other 2009-2010 CRIPPLE OUTREACH, 6'11" SF Jonathan Bender, who had some tantalizing moments shooting threes and draining 90% of his FTs, on his way out the door, his great promise ultimately derailed by debilitating injuries.
