    Mitchell is really fantastic, and hasn't shrunk at all in the playoffs. So far he's 6-8 from 3 pts against the C Bags at HT.

    We should be moving heaven and earth to get him if we're going to be competing for anything anytime soon.

    Why don't we do some S&T thing btw these two?

    I'm sure New Orleans would love to collect the playoff no show all stars in McCollum, Zion, and then D'Lo!

    Who is that and why he's discussing NBA.?Former NFL star Chad Ochosinco: « Kevin Durant said he would have gone to « Miami » without any problems

    According to Chad Ochosinco, Kevin Durant does not mind moving to « Miami ».

    « I talked with KD, and I know that KD will see this, and he can confirm it. Listen, I'm not fond of basketball, and people like KD LeBron and some other players I know trust me.

    Very interesting facts.Only 1.32% or in 6 cases out of 454 teams coming back from 0-2 deficit, having home court advantage

    Generally, teams do no overcome a two-game deficit when they’ve lost the first two games of a series at home. It’s markedly more difficult to win four out of five games when only two will be on your home floor. This is reinforced by recent history, as only two teams – the Los Angeles Clippers in 2021 and the Boston C Bags in 2017 – have recovered to a win a series after losing the first two games at home. For what it’s worth, both of those occurrences happened in the first round.

    Teams will always regurgitate meaningless jargon when down 2-0. “We just have to win the next one.” “One game at a time.” “No different than any other game.” But we know that’s false, and history backs that’s up. So, best of luck to all you Denver fans out there, but it’s a difficult road back from 0-2 whether you look to history as a guide or not.

    Team with 2-0 lead won series
    NBA Conference Semifinals
    108(93.9%) Lost 7(6.1%)
    Total of 115 series
    Nuggets come back only once in their playoffs history in famous victory over Seattle 30 years ago,but it was in 5 games series in 1 st round.

    1994 Nuggets won 3-2, recovered from 0-2 deficit vs. Supersonics Western Conference First Round

    NBA Draft Lottery Done and...



    Somehow Atlanta gets #1 despite a 3% chance. Guess that'd make it easier to move from Trae Young or they'll shed salary (Capella).

    I think Rockets at #3 and Pistons at #5 are probably going to sell their picks.

    Spurs #4 and #8 going to be trade bait for Trae?

    All this series tells me is the C Bags will be in the Finals again. Whoever meets them between Denver, Minnesota, OKC, or Dallas better take them down.

    Nuggets have the best chance. They are the penicillin for Boston.

    OK there's a number of people here obviously including @Mr. Rambis who have legit inside sources. Laugh if you want .... mine is my neighbor's gardener and he's batting real high let's say. Conspiracy theorists assemble!! :rofl: No one is on record but the word is WHY Trae dumped Klutch was that he was the plan everyone was going to push to make happen best deal possible hopefully. BUT Rob cut a deal with LeBron. He had his choice .... pick the top dollar player you hope we can get OR you can have JJ. They wanted to see just how committed Lebron was to his coaching input. Boom .... "We're sorry Trae .... here go have a beer with DeMar he can explain how these unfortunately extremely disappointing decisions sometimes can happen."

    Come on man, your neighbor’s gardener???
    As for Mr. Rambis, what real piece of insider information has he posted here that turned into something that actually happened?
    So LeBron was able to force Rob’s hand in the Westbrick Debacle and now he gets to choose his coach?
    And people get bent when the dude is labeled LeGM.
