    It’s amazing to me that a guy with his criminal record, and continuous violations of his parole, is celebrated and respected...

    i think dragic would be a pretty good fit right now, actually. he's really more of a ball-dominant sg on offense, and that would pair nicely with lonzo/the rest of our team. if we struck out in FA and miami was selling him for a late first, i might bite.

    but for what he costs, I'm not sure he, like many others we were so desperate to throw money at, have been worth what they are being paid.

    I think we lucked out by missing out on so many tier 2 or 3's being paid as tier 1's.

    4 games tonight, can't wait! Is this the first time they've ever had that many on one night?

    well, we're lucky we didn't win the greg monroe sweepstakes. but dragic gets what, 20 per? that's below max, and the past couple of years he's a 18/5 guy on close to 50/40/80 shooting whilst leading an undertalented team to more wins than they should have. you can spend money in worse ways, for sure. we know.

    Am I being petty for wanting Utah to beat OKC tonight ? I like Westbrook, but want him to lose and for PG13 to come to us.

    Petty? I think like %95 of the forum is rooting for this. OKC goes out in the first round, their season is a massive failure.

    A twitter search for Kevin Durant’s hair produced comedy gold. This was my favorite

    Ok that was clutch as hell. Screwed up with the dribble out of bounds, but made up for it with a chase down block to save the game and a three with three seconds left to win it. Pretty insane.

    I'm not happy about it either. Was hoping to see Indiana grow up a little before our eyes.

    But wait, maybe LLLLL stays if it continues to go well...

    :ShaqOh2:

    nah, I'm still pulling for Indy in 7.

    Not sure what Olidipo was thinking driving LeBron to the hoop at the end. LeBron notoriously blocks those efforts. The last play for each team shows you the qualitative difference between a Star and a Superstar.

    Oladipo has playoff experience. He has the experience from last season being on OKC watching Westbrook jack up 30 shots per game. Not exaggerating, literally 30.4 fga per game.
