The Bucks are getting blown out for the second time in 4 games and have to be wondering why they fired Bud after being the NBA top seed last season. Maybe Terry Stotts saw something.

And a first round exit in the playoffs this year?

Nick Nurse, in his last 4 years in Toronto, finished in 9th place, lost in the first round of the playoffs, finished in 12th place, and lost in the semis.
He won a champjonship thanks to Kawhi. His reputation far exceeds his actual coaching records

He does very, very well building a team to succeed around a singular superstar with complementary players.

Sat about 5 rows back for the last epic matchup in April.Any one else getting pumped for this HOU v. CHA game tonight? Going to be epic

I'm not so sure those two things are mutually exclusive.

Brutal tonight.
And a brutal loss for the Pistons after being up 18 in the second half.

They didn't seem to be looking for Chet even though none of the New Orleans big men can stay with him.

Starters shot 57/55/94 tonight and scored 92 points in essentially 3 quarters.
Now what?

Lively makes so many mistakes but he also does so many good things I love him so much I'm so excited for this season

Dallas looks much improved this year. Most of their moves working and Doncic may be back in serious MVP contention.

2 years in a row I'd put Nico in top 5 for just making good decisions as a GM (even with the Kyrie trade which I still don't love).

So bad. The "city edition" uniforms as a whole have jumped the shark, IMO. In the early years there were some instant classics like the Miami Vice and Brooklyn Biggie designs (bring them back!!), but they weren't meant to be revamped every single year.

The C's certainly can ride their starting 5 . . . as they have been crazy good. What happens if there are injuries or on rest days?. The bench scored 63 last night . . . but I don't have faith in anyone outside of Horford to play at a consistent level or contribute meaningful minutes when it actually matters. It's a lot easier to make a three pointer up 50 than it is down 8 with two minutes left in the game.Celtics 4-0. Everyone else in the East has at least 2 losses except Philly, who has 1.

I think that's it then, we may as well start the Finals now.Celtics 4-0. Everyone else in the East has at least 2 losses except Philly, who has 1.

You trusting any dallas bench players to do the same?The C's certainly can ride their starting 5 . . . as they have been crazy good. What happens if there are injuries or on rest days?.

then you might lose the rest day games.
You're in pretty good shape if rest day losses are your worry.
No rest days in the playoffs.

I think Brisset will hold his own and be a good bench energy guy and they think enough of Pritchard that they extended him although he does need to prove he can raise his game in the playoffs...both of these players only need to be role players unless they have a run of bad luck on injuries...also, Stevens has stocked-up on a whole bunch of second-rounders so he will be able to bring in another solid bench player...the C's are all in for the next few years and their core is very legit and in the NBA it is about your big time players and it is time for Brown and especially Tatum to prove they can win a title...I just don't see Stevens letting a role player coming off the bench being the reason they can't win a title.The C's certainly can ride their starting 5 . . . as they have been crazy good.

They are short 1 decent mid-level vet to help eat up minutes and be a plus player on one end of the floor. Could be any position (although a big would be most helpful since KP & Horford are it and both more prone to miss time).

And it is not something to worry about right now...they have time...if someone on the current roster develops/steps up than great...if not than go get someone...Stevens has done the hard part by adding Jrue and Porzingas.

He really is a unicorn. Nice coming out party tonight.
PHX not looking so good dropping two in a row to SA at home. Not sure Beal will make that much of a difference.

Spurs were up by 20+ and the Suns cut it to 1 with 5:00 minutes. Spurs win by 11.
You could sense life leaving the body of the Suns homer announcer.
