    Game 4 is the only time that the Rockets have beaten the Spurs at home this season.

    The Spurs under Pop have always been about the team rather than individuals, even if they are named Leonard and Parker.

    Future NBA Champs, Boston Celtics, have won the NBA lottery draft. LA Lakers have the second pick.

    No Leonard today, so this game is pretty much over already.

    Looks like LA will probably take Lonzo Ball (I can't see Boston taking him, Thomas is their PG so the kid from Washington is a SG and makes more sense), I don't know if Russell will be shipped on or if he can play as a shooting guard instead, or some sort of hybrid backcourt like GS

    If the Lakers take Lonzo it will come with some requirements that Lavar shuts the fuck up.

    Fultz is a gun. He has a massive wingspan for a guard and a NBA ready offensive game. Doesn't have the vision that Ball has but a decent passer in his own right.

    I reckon the 76ers could do with Ball.

    and today Lavar has got into an on-air spat with the co-host on Colin Cowherd's show. I don't see him going away anytime soon.

    He is a proponent of the all is news is good news theory. I watched a segment with Ramona Shelbourne on the Jump ESPN talking about her experience interviewing him. There is method to the madness, and if Lonzo and any of the other boys become all stars he may be looked back upon like a Richard Williams type figure

    All hail the King.....

    Lebron's unreal playoff performance run continues. Even though Celtics are the best finishing team, the game was over by halftime.

    The whole season was a waste of time. Should have just had the two super teams play a best of 11 at the start of the season and be done with it

    The Cavs are looking awesome at just the right time

    If you were an Eastern Conference team, you'd surely be tempted to go the full Hinkie and build for a potential big season in 2019-2020.

    Because with Lebron the way he is, you just aren't getting past Cleveland any time soon.

    At least in the West you feel like the Warriors dynasty might be toppled if one player left/got injured.

    @barbarian Agreed. There's talk Celtics should trade the number 1 pick for a contributor right now. An argument could be made it is better to take the best college player and wait 5 years for him to develop because no one is stopping LeBron in the east any time soon.

    Its not just LBJ, the supporting cast is fucking good as well. Add them to one of the greatest players of all time seemingly still at his peak and the rest of the east is fucked. And maybe the Warriors as well.

    It would come close to making my sporting year if the Warrior's don't win it all

    @Baron-Silas-Greenback why? Expensive team beats other expensive team is hardly a fairytale. The Cavs have the highest payroll in the league.
