    Most people think the season ends with the Championship game. To me, it's far from done. Victory parade, draft, summer league, free agency. Now the season is over and it sucks.

    Is FA, Draft and Summer League better than the Playoffs and Finals? Not for fans of those teams competing. But for us Laker fans, the draft and Summer League were a lot better. Free Agency wasn't the greatest for us this year, but next year I feel it will be. Then we can start focusing on those playoffs and Finals..... and parades.

    I am a Spurs fan and Kawhi going down was so bad i might feel FA was better based on what happens. That Grizz vs Spurs was great but of course nobody even mentions how they f***ed up the shot clock in a critical moment in that series.

    Edit!!!

    Okay i take it back. Beating no charisma black hole Harden with jSimms automatically makes the playoffs better no matter who the Spurs get.

    That Memphis Spurs series was by far the best of the entire playoffs. Great basketball!

    there's definitely been a lot surprises. the paul deal shocked me. but it probably wasn't until the irving deal that i was thinking "this is the craziest nba summer evar!".

    although i think it's bad for the lakers, i enjoyed ny calling melo's bluff on his houston demand. i just can't believe okc managed to get a (imo) top ten player and one of the league's best scorers for a couple of bad contracts, an underwhelming rookie, and no first rounders. worst case, they flipped overpaid role players for cap space, which is a neat trick in itself (we had to add solidly performing 2nd overall pick to do the same!).

    after seriously bungling some things in the past (harden trade, and quite honestly, many just before and since that point), okc may have totally redeemed themselves!

    so, yeah, tipping point was probably the irving trade for me.
