Jimmy Butler will be the de facto PG.

Yeah his usage will go up. Unfortunately so too will Dwayne Wade's.....

Enormous blow to the Bulls. Rondo was phenomenal setting guys up in the first 2 games. And allowed Butler not to have to be the end all be all of every single offensive set. Finally they seemed to get a pecking order figured out. And it included involving other guys on the team for the first time in years and years. Refreshing to see ball movement.  It finally wasn't Butler.....Wade.......................................................................................................................................everyone else. After years and years of watching that jackass Rose.

####### sucks.

I don't mind Grant as a 3 and D player (even though he's isn't great at either of those things) but MCW is such a disaster on offense.

 
i do not get the snell dislike that comes out of chicago he is a great complimentary player three and d long and tough and athletic michael crapper williams on the other hand well i guess we all know where i stand on that nonbrohan take that to the bank bromigos

Huge blow to Bulls. Rondo has been the 2nd best player in the series so far. The work he's done creating off high screens has been beautiful. None of their other PG have a clue.

Last night went as expected. They aren't winning another game w/o rondo. Outside butler they dont have anyone else that can create anything on own or others. Double jimmy and watch wade show how little he's got left. Neat iso offense.

Did feel like a rerun of the last several years of the Bulls offense. They had ONE assist in 1st and 3rd quarters combined!!! Grant and MCW are garbage. Have absolutely no business on the court.

Bucks really have one of the best jerseys in the league now. Really clean look. 

Fun to watch. I should just adopt these guys and punt the loser Magic to the side of the road. I spent a week in Milwaukee last year.

If maker is the real deal (and can hold up on defense), this team will team will be super-interesting for years.

Changing sides because they have cool unis? Might as well turn in your y chromosome while you're at it. :P

It's more of that the Magic are a dumpster fire, their unis are ugly as #### and they're considering hiring a guy to be their GM who can't get out of the second round with 3 all-stars and one of the best point guards ever.

Who?  Doc rivers return?

i see that they are interested in David griffin, which would be interesting.

He seems like he is now one of the top 5 offensive players in the league, no?

Probably not even top 10, IMO. He's a very good offensive player, don't get me wrong, but his value is that he does everything on the court at a high level and he can play just about any position. If he could hit 35% of his threes you could start to compare him to guys like Lebron, Durant, Harden, and Curry offensively.

Lebrun, Durant and curry were the other three that I was think about ahead of him. His combination of size and ball handling and fluidity are just so fantastic.  Good point on the threes though.

I'm firmly on the Bucks bandwagon as my 2nd NBA team.

 
Watching the Spurs the last few games, it is really hard to figure how they ended up number two in the conference. Slow, bad offensively other than Kawhi. Numerous defensive lapses. Green is horrendous. Aldridge not playing up  to his contract at all. Just a meh team.

I think Memphis goes on to win this series. Spurs look done. Wasted a Herculean effort from Kawhi and still couldn't get it done.

Oh bull####! Spurs sucked balls in Q1-Q3, and still nearly walked out of the building with the Grizzlies soul in their hip pocket.

Spurs in 6.

The real astonishing thing has been the emergence of McGee. They are +51 in his 39 minutes. Wow.

McCaw has been rising to the occasion as well. He had his best game as a Warrior tonight, at least that I can remember.

ETA: the biggest concern right now has to be the health of Steve Kerr. Rumor is he will not be back for this series. He must really be hurting.

He was a steal.  A couple years ago, he was projected to be top 3 in THIS year's strong draft.  Don't know what happened.  Questions about his age dropped his value but made him draft  eligible a year earlier.  His workouts from his sophomore year were great.  Looked like Hakeem with range.

I'm not surprised with McGee's play. Once McGee made the roster I knew he would be the big man to close out games come playoff time. McGee has always had all the tools, he has the perfect role, and the culture is in place. 

Gotta love McCaw. Meyers got another 2nd round steal and while I don't think he'll win ROY he should get some votes...maybe a 3rd place finish.

The Kerr injury worries me a ton. I don't think Mike Brown is a very good coach. He was lucky to ride LBJ's coattails.

Thon is the real deal. Even if he is 23/24, he's the same age as Brogdon and Buddy Hield. His athleticism, fluidity, and defense make his floor as a rotation big man. The Bucks are building the basketball team of the future.....5 postionless 7 footers. 

 
Sure seems like this is the end of Paul George in Indiana unless he makes an All-NBA team which qualifies him for that monster contract. Anyone know when those teams are announced?

Some time after the draft, according to what Nate Duncan mentioned on the podcast the other day.  They were saying that they realized that recently, which could make the draft interesting/difficult, not having the full scope of what they can/will do with George.

 
Andre Roberson is making himself a lot of money in this series. Where can he go that has a good offense, has the salary cap room/sign and trade assests and needs a wing?
