NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Wow. GS losing now that they have to play every other day like every other playoff team. It's amazing how they lose when every other day vs one game every three days. Who would have thought?

GS started Draymond at the 5 and Butler at the 4. Houston showed them that is, and always will be, a big man's game.

OKC played 4 games in 6 days. Meanwhile, GS/Houston took almost two weeks to play 6 games. If GS/Houston go to Game 7, the Eastern Conference semis will have already started. They need to speed these things up.

They break ass to play 82 games in the regular season. Three games in four days. If Houston and Golden State go 7 games, that will be 7 games in two weeks.

NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
From what I understand, OKC's second round schedule is dependent on whether Houston and GS go 6 games or 7. OKC has been done for almost a week yet they still haven't played game 6. Glad they got to rest and play every three days, though.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
No. A healthy Dallas with AD, Kyrie, etc. would have destroyed this Laker team. Gobert looked like Wilt Chamberlain for God's sake. Believe it or not, Luka is not the greatest player to ever play basketball. He's a better version of Carmelo Anthony.

Jaylin Williams (OKC) could be a backup.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
It's funny watching the post mortem on the various shows and pods come to realize that the Luke trade might not have been as awful as everyone though. Yes, still a bad trade. Still disastrously bad on defense and complains a lot on offense. The trade was more for the future from the Lakers standpoint, I get that. However, had a healthy Dallas played a healthy Lakers in the playoffs, Dallas wins that easily.

Someone should field a team of all Jalens. Two stars are Jaylen Brown and Jalen Williams. Jalen Brunson plays point. Jalen Duren plays center. Who else out there?

OKC is 2-0 against this year and wasn't completely at full strength either time. They're a terrible matchup for Boston. Dort basically shuts down Brown and Jalen Williams takes Tatum. Their bigs also move well to guard their bigs.

That doesn't put them in the top half of the West and how much longer is Lebron going to really play?

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
Yeah, Lakers are 3-4 years away. I'm not sure they're in the top 4 in the Western Conference going forward the next few years. OKC, Houston, Minny, and even San Antonio all have bigger upside. Lakers need to upgrade the whole roster and the only real asset they have is Austin Reeves.
-
NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
OKC beats Denver in 5 or 6. Oddly enough, they're a terrible matchup for the Clippers and their small lineup that they've been using. They'd have Jalen Williams play the 4 and guard KL, Dort on Harden, and Wallace/Caruso on Norm Powell.

The ongoing question for the Lakers is what now? They obviously need to upgrade the roster but outside of Austin Reaves, what assets do they have to trade? They're not in the top 4 in the West going forward the next few years. San Antonio, quite frankly, is in a better position. (OKC, Houston, Minny, are also ahead of them.)

What's wrong with Russillo? What did he do?
-
NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
I'll die on this hill but even with the trade, had AD and Kyrie been healthy, Dallas would push OKC to 7 if not beat them. Their bigs are not only good but legit big. With Luka, maybe the same. The Dallas roster was built to cover for him defensively, which is what LA will have to do. It's why Nico wasn't wrong to trade him and avoid paying $80M per year or whatever. His mistake was what he got back. He could have easily gotten Giannis at this point.

I like what Bill Simmons said the other day about Giannis. He could have a completely insane state line but you're still not sure if they won or lost. Tonight 30/20/13. Win or lose? Lost.

Bill Belichick Rides Again: Hired at North Carolina to build NIL NFL Factory
She could also press for more money stair stepped into the marriage. If she's going to be his old man nurse until his death bed, damn right she'd deserve something. Looked it up and he has two kids. Sorry guys. Beware of the interloper.

That's also where the story falls apart. I'm assuming he's in first so he boarded before her yet he saw her "reading a book" and commented on it through his covid era mask on a plane in 2021? I call horse shit.

And also a personal assistant/caretaker, which is where the real money is for her.
