Yeah.

That said, I don't see anyone getting in the way of the Boston/Bucks eastern final.

(except maybe for the Knicks, of course).

Out west though, damn, who the fuck knows who's going to make it thru. Much more of a crapshoot.

Clippers REALLY Stocked UP

Mason Plumlee
Eric Gordon
Bones Hyland

AND

Russell Westbrook

I am pulling for Westbrook with the Clippers. 

Thought he was hung out to dry by the Lakers and scapegoated for their struggles. 

He has surely lost a yard or two off his fastball, but is still a very dynamic presence. 

Better fit given Clippers outside firepower.  Better fit with Kawhi than he was with LeBron. 

We shall see.  I thought whomever characterized him as a vampire, well, THAT was a BIT MUCH.

Well...if you like and respect D Ham then the "Russ got screwed" narrative simply does not fit.  Simply a decision made for the right reason.

Saw the last couple of Clippers games and I'm a believer. They are loaded, healthy, and won't go down easily.

The dumb move for the Lakers was bringing Russ in.

Clips are tough, but Denver is still in the catbird seat.

A lot of teams look better on paper, including us.

Will Barton and R.J. Hampton join Stanley Johnson, Serge Ibaka and others as singable guys as we go forward with two spots open.

I do not think Pat Bev moves the needle much for the Bulls. I hope he has fun though.

I worry the new look Nyets could keep up their pace.

I am picking Philly out of the East if their health holds.

Wow. I don't see what you see.

[facilitatorn]

I do not see the Celtics frontcourt holding up against either Philly or the Bucks to be offset by their backcourt wing talent advantage.

I am following an inexplicable feeling telling me to trust Harden over GA this year once things get deep. I cannot say I have all that much invested in it. It is just a feeling.

We were the final mail that got Nate canned.

New coach in Atlanta.

Poetic payback for fucking with Randle's head in the 2020 playoffs

We humiliated the HAWKS and that spelled Nate's doom.

[facilitatorn]

The brewing negative chemistry and long stretches of poor performance did him in. Our game was just the final straw.

I still think Nate is a good coach.

I am glad we have Thibs.

Nets Big Three might still be here if Sean Marks had kept Kenny Atkinson, or had elevated Jacques Vaughan instead of the curious reach for Steve Nash

Nyets are so much better off now even factoring in the dead weight of Simmons.

FC Barcelona youngster Rokas Jokubaitis was drafted by the New York Knicks with the 34th pick in the 2021 NBA draft. The Lithuanian guard has been improving his craft in Europe ever since but the hope to debut in the NBA doesn't fade.

Spanish sports outlet Mundo Deportivo interviewed Knicks' head coach Tim Thibodeau who revealed that the club was impressed with Jokubaitis.

"It would be more a question for the front office but we liked it a lot when he played the Summer League," Thibodeau said. "I hope he has a good season and then in the summer, we'll see. But yes, I would like to see him."

Jokubaitis has a contract with Barcelona until the year 2025 but the deal features an NBA out after each season.

Ya'all think Jacques is God.  Jacques wont play Simmons big minutes.  Lets see how it works out.  I think he should be out there 30+ every night - then we can see the number, the number of wins and we can talk.
