omg kidd might be an assistant coach to vogel.  two years at most and then the knife is in frank's back.

  All you seem to do is $h*t on the best players in the nba.  If it's not Harden, it's Jokic or when 'your' Warriors are playing bad you start bashing them.  Not a great way to go through life.  Take care of yourself little buddy.  

Harden isn't one of the best players in the league because he's not a winner.  Disappears every year when the going gets tough.  It's quite simple logic Weebs

lmaoooooooo

 

[Frostillicus]

I cannot get over Green taking that shot for the Rockets. I mean, that has to pretty much be a worst case scenario. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

I think rooting for a team led by a perennial loser who constantly disappears in the playoffs hurt them the most.

You have your choice here. You talking about Harden or Paul? Meh, may as well be both.

 

[coyote5]

Murmurs of Kyrie joining the Lakers.

    Oh PLEASE let this happen!!  Poor little Kyrie gotta put his tail between his legs and head back to daddy

 

[coyote5]

They can thank MJ for not playing for that one year too. That's the sad part. MJ plays that year Bulls probably have 6 titles. 

Did they take one away from them or something?

no deal unless Rambis can be an assistant coach too

ETA:  though Kidd's baggage is pretty good material too: https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2019/5/11/18566189/lakers-jason-kidd-criminal-history-spousal-abuse-domestic-violence-driving-while-intoxicated-pole

From a comedy perspective, it was actually the best

Nope.

Vogel confirmed. Kidd on staff. 

Why were the lakers so horny to get Kidd on their staff?

Have a backup terrible coach for when they fire Vogel.

LeBron and Lonzo like him. Apparently just need to keep him away from any ladies and maybe he can make it a few months without getting suspended

O.k. that's not good. Why not hire Mark Jackson for the bench while they're at it?

lol why would they give a #### what Lonzo likes 

 

[modogg]

lol why would they give a #### what Lonzo likes 

why do they have a front office of a bunch of friends of Jea0nie Buss?

 

[modogg]

well sh't, now i'm jealous. No one told me Vogel can spin a basketball and brush his teeth with it:

Putting money in now for Lakers to win the West

 

[strykerpks]

 Jason Kidd

You know the science, you get buckwild.

Or better yet Magic, or even Karl Malone

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Damn, I cannot wait to see the Sixers win tonight, then the Sixers win the draft lottery on Tuesday, then take out the Bucks in the conference finals as they do every 18 years.  

and in the process save Brett's job.

would be better if the Celtics' weren't such a poor excuse of a team, and they made the Bucks have to sweat it a bit and play to game 7. But i can dig the above

 

[mr. furley]

who would be a good choice to be the Lakers coach?

 

[General Malaise]

LeBron

 

[General Malaise]

Not sure why Rodney Hood looks like he was taken out by sniper fire. 

If Lillard can somehow find his stroke....

 

[Capella]

Seth Curry shot 45% from 3 this year? JFC

 

[tjnc09]

Incredible hustle play and block by McCollum.  

 

[tjnc09]

Jokic with a terrible pass and too lazy to recognize no one else will be able to guard Lillard in the corner

 

[mr. furley]

Mike Breen is so, so good

 

[Juxtatarot]

Jokic with a terrible pass and too lazy to recognize no one else will be able to guard Lillard in the corner

I have to give you credit for consistency.

 

[parasaurolophus]

Terribke strategy by portland here

 

[tjnc09]

I have to give you credit for consistency.

As consistent as his terrible defense.  Hopefully it costs them the game

 

[General Malaise]

Wow, I did not think this was possible.  I'm in delightful shock. 

 

[tjnc09]

people been sleeping on this Denver fly over city team....all year....hope it keeps happening....they can be dangerous.....lots of depth/scorers and great coaching....can't count out POR yet tho...

feel they would give either HOU or GS a run for their money even at full strength.....now with KD possibly out, that goes up even a little more...

hopefully HOU wins game 6 and  those teams have to go 7....and keep beating up on each other...

I can't believe anyone who watches basketball seriously thought Denver was any good

 

[jvdesigns2002]

Great win for the Blazers.  Both teams played tough this series--but Portland is gutting things out.  Nurk breaking his leg, hood getting hurt tonight, lillard having a tough game--and they beat a solid Denver team on the road.  I really wish that both Portland and GS were fully healthy going into the WCF.  I would have loved to see both teams go at it at full strength. 

 

[Courtjester]

Well that sucked....but great job Portland!! 

Our young guys just couldn't get it done in the 4th. The future is bright, but this still hurts.

What I like is the complete respect each team had for one another after the game. There wasn't any diva (Harden) going to the lockers. I am pulling for Portland now--would love to see the NBA absolutely blow a gasket hyping a Blazers/Bucks final. 

 

[tjnc09]

I'm glad you enjoy Golden State blowouts

 

[tjnc09]

It cracks me up that people say the Warriors ruined the NBA, but every time a team beats another mediocre team, we hear about how they will compete with the Warriors.

 

[TripItUp]

Any guesses on the Warriors/Blazers series price?  -240?

 

[jvdesigns2002]

Not at all. The Warriors had a hard time dealing with the Clippers. You think they roll over a healthy Trailblazers team if they had a healthy Nurkic, and Hood? I doubt it.  Warriors are not a deep team. The Blazers bench squad with Curry, Kanter, Hood, Turner, Collins and others would have given the Warriors fits.

sad thing is, i thought it was on at 3PM west coast time.   I get on the web to see it online and score comes back final 100-96.   i'm glad the blazers won but sucks I missed it all

i'm shocked we beat you guys at home, that's a really great team you guys have.  just had a bad day.

I doubt it.  Warriors are not a deep team. The Blazers bench squad with Curry, Kanter, Hood, Turner, Collins and others would have given the Warriors fits. 

The only reason a full strength, focused Warriors team ever "struggles" is when they get bored and start doing stupid #### with turnovers.  Do people not understand they were 65% favorites to win the finals again?  They were twice as likely to win the finals than the other 29 NBA teams combined.  The only reason it's that low is because the two top East teams have HCA.

The Blazers would have been lucky to win one game against a full strength Warriors team.  Let's head back to reality now.

I was really impressed with Jamal Murray. That guy's a star.

360 / -463

Warriors 79% to win.  Sounds like books are expecting it to be really close even with the uncertainty of KD @jvdesigns2002

Sixers starting the game 0-9. Great stuff
