OT: NBA 2019-2020

[East Coast Bias]

They still screwed up by not opening the bidding on trading him but goddamn is it nice not to have this assholes anchor contract on the books.

He won't be cheap. Say goodbye to RJ +++

Dame seems like a Blazer for life...what about the shooter that is CJ McCollum?

The problem Portland has is similar to the problem the Knicks have - they don't have a creator. They have tons of guys who can shoot and get their own shot. But they don't have a guy who is going to penetrate and create shots for everyone else. They roll with 3 SGs most of the time. and it becomes predictable in a playoff series.


* the HUGE caveat being Lillard, McCollum and Powell/Trent are far better players than what the Knicks have on the perimeter

Even if it was RJ, Quickley, Mitch + next year's 1st maybe even 22 1st I think the Knicks probably should/would jump on it but Portland says no.

Knicks need a point guard. RJ can play 2.

Jokic was drafted 41st and is the lowest drafted player to win MVP.

Wow, I feel like second rounders rarely amount to more than bench guys in the NBA

Hate the Nets, but that was greatness from KD tonight, put the team on his back.

 

[RangerBlues]

These guys are playing hockey tonight

 

[NYR94]

Not a basketball fan, but the things I've read about how amazing Durant's comeback from injury is really impressed me.

 

[17futurecap]

KD not human

 

[Bob Richards]

Kevin Durant is god lmfao

 

[17futurecap]

Joe Harris stinks

 

[LeetchisGod]

It's nice to see one of these bullcrap super teams fail.

 

[RangerBlues]

Knicks should be picking 19 and 20 now with Atlanta advancing to the finals.

the order was fixed. It’s 19 and 21. Doesn’t matter what the Hawks do. It’s based on regular season winning pct.

 

[ponzu4u]

Hoping the Knicks are able to package the 19th & 21st and maybe their early 2nd to get up somewhere in the 8-12 range for a potential "impact" player.

They need to find someone who can create their own offense, preferably from the guard position. I still think Quickley is best served as a 6th man but I'd love to be proven wrong.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

I love Rose and hope he comes back, but they really do need a Point Guard who can facilitate the offense. I have absolutely no idea who they can get, but I think it would take them to the next level.

 

[17futurecap]

Holy crap at that Suns finish

 

[Bob Richards]

That was nuts lol

 

[East Coast Bias]

Great end to the game. The call by Breen and Van Gundy was so so good. JVG especially nailing the play before it happened, the rules on no goaltending on in bounds and then all players on the court then had to be in the court for the last play. Just a great series for announcing

There are so many clowns announcing big sporting events that provide virtually no value. That was refreshing.

 

[ponzu4u]

I know there was some grumbling about all the stoppages and reviews at the end of the game, but I had no problem with it. The game was that exciting. Plus it actually kind of gives you time to process the crazy sequence of events that were unfolding.

The NBA playoffs have been incredible this year. I feel kinda bad, but it's probably the first year I've watched basketball predominately and hardly any hockey.

50, Not 51, not 49 - Classy way to celebrate winning a title at Chick-fil-A

Knicks looking for trade partner to move up.
Baylor guard Davion Mitchell is on the want list
