I completely skipped over the late 90s because of that 96 Bulls team running rampant on it all

ffs Josh Smith turning into Steve Nash

Dirk

Feel sorry for Dirk, this team is trash.

Casey should get fired and the Raps team should get blown up ffs.. I actually thought they were going to win game 2

At least Dirk got his title, as tough as this is for him.

I agree about the Raps obviously. I dont know about blowing the team up, I think they would be better just with a different coach. One who actually prioritises team play and throwing the ball inside once in a while.

Whitman should be sacked as well, don't really care if they sweep the Raps their offence should be so much better than it actually is.

The fact they are 9th in 3PT% this season and 28th in 3PT rate tells it's own story.

How many minutes did Rondo play last night?

10? Are you kidding me? Dallas could get swept........

I take pride in the fact that Spurs or Clippers would probably sweep either team anyway.

Budenholzer got COTY. Meh, Kerr deserved it more.

Hopefully..... can not believe this nonsense.

I don't know what's worse? This abomination called the Dallas Mavericks? Or people thinking Houston are contenders?

Its disgusting. It was the series I was looking most forward to.

Sad thing is Dallas before the Rondo trade would sweep this team, they completely and utterly *bleep* up.

Tbh most of the series have disappointed me, they have been very one sided due to injuries and other factors.

Memphis are going to roll through Portland and the East speaks for itself only really Spurs and Clippers is interesting.

At least the 2nd round will be good in the West though, East is a joke though only two series of interest through out the entire bloody conference. ( the actual finals itself and Bulls/Cavs)

Wizards and Raptors have disappointed me. I knew they were both bad, so I thought they would cancel each other out and we'd have some very close games (Gm 1).

But Toronto are just something else right now...... ugly.

I'm gonna be watching the Nets-Hawks series. I liked how the Nets fought back (their defence was atrocious) and if they get Lopez involved more often it could be entertaining and create problems.

I haven't paid attention to the Cavs or Bulls.

Not surprising at all Raps got smoked last night. Pathetic effort.

I wouldn't say blowing up this team is the solution as there are some interesting pieces in Lowry, DeRozan, Williams, Val, and a few bench players but huge changes need to be made to upgrade the 3 and 4 positions. Ross is a fraud of a player and Johnson is simply not good enough. Our inside game is non existent and this iso ball is redundant and ineffective.

The biggest problem without doubt is Casey who despite being known as a defensive specialist has done squat throughout the season to rectify the deficiencies. It's also clear the players have simply tuned him out. He comes out after every game criticizing players lack of effort in rebounding and the defensive end, yet the players don't seem to respond.

Its sad because this Wizards team is not efficient whatsoever considering the players they've got.

Bulls have look good for 6 of the 8 quarters, offense seems to be coming very easy, ball is moving well ( 85% of made baskets assisted) and defensively they look a lot better.

Mainly because Noah looks healthy probably, but it is just Milwaukee so it's hard to really take anything from that. As for the Cavs they just seem to strolling as the Celtics don't really cause any real problems.

I say 6 of 8 quarters for the Bulls because 2 of those quarters they have gone back to looking like standard Bulls under Thibs. ( although gone back probably isn't the right term seeing as it was 4th quarter of game 1 and 1st quarter of game 2)

Anyway this is funny......

Scott Brooks fired!

About goddamn time.

Said right after the trade I was worried about him in the backcourt with Ellis. Just not a good fit. Definitely done there, so does he go to the Lakers? Not a great fit either imo

Begs the question.... where would be a good fit?

In a time machine that will take him back to 2008


But there's really not many good fits, the ones I can think of already have a PG. Pacers maybe, Jazz, Bucks.

You're damn right.

Finally. Now get a coach who knows more plays than Isos and Ball Screens.

Why are you acting like Brooks even knows 2 kinds of plays?

Rondo out indefinitely with a "back injury"

and Carlisle answered a reporter asking if he expects Rondo back in a Mavs uni next season, "No, I don't".

Dude basically got cut in the middle of the playoffs. Wow

You gotta be kidding me.....

This is the shit Ray Allen said (but didn't say really) about Rondo and he's taken his idiocy to the west coast.

I am so disgusted and disappointed with this dude...... I expect him at the Knicks this summer.

He'll prob be a Laker I think. Don't know how I'd feel about that.

Made me laugh

I wonder if this has hit his value this coming free agency. I mean how bad must Rondo's attitude be to get cut from the team in the middle of a round against a rival ffs.

He seems to have the same attitude problems according to former teammates, and I personally hope he ends up in a dead end market and gets nowhere.
