NBA season 2018/19

couple of blowouts today

@mariner4life Kawhi didn't even need to shine today and they dispatched Philly with ease. Embiid has to be injured. It's not just a case of being outplayed it's not even the same person.
Blazers looked so good but just don't have an answer for the big 2 of the Nuggets.

call it a poor attempt at humour crossed with my Torrey Craig man-crush
Jokic is the man.

@mariner4life Jamal Murray and Jokic are the most underrated duo in the playoffs.

And the supporting cast of Harris, Millsap, Barton, Craig, Plumlee, Beasley is damn good.

Celtics gone! Paul Pierce keeps taking Ls. First, he thought he should have had a farewell like Kobe, but didn't realise the greater fan community doesn't love him like that. Second, he compared his career to Wade's and apparently his time in the NBA was better. And third, he called "series" in the Bucks vs Celtics playoffs after game 1. Bucks win in 5 lol!

Tye Lue turns down Lakers coaching job.
What a mess 2019 has been for the Lakers.
Just a dumpster fire.
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Probably next year too. No end in sight

Phil Jackson is somewhere rubbing his hands together and whispering “triangle offence...”. I wonder if they’d take him back? Probably not but you never know with the Lakers.
Lue probably didn’t get the money he wanted to pretend to be a couch. He’ll end up at somewhere like Washington, I think. Scotty Brooks can’t last another year. Where ever he ends up hopefully he gets to actually coach and get out from under Lebrons shadow.

If you ever want to see a more selfish uninterested performance by a star player, watch Kyrie in today’s game 5. What a shocker. One rebound in 30+ minutes. That’s just a lack of effort. And even more glaring was the one assist and that’s your starting PG on $20m.
Perhaps he doesn’t tune into Jalen Rose’s analysis, but some of the shots he took today were plain awful.
But hey I still love your shoes KI 😎
Then it seems Tatum was trying to prove some point by also taking horrible shots and trying to ISO his way to buckets.
Celtics deserved to get spanked and given the way the season played out and all the drama and the lack of defensive intensity, they probably overachieved to get out of the first round.
I’ve never really been a fan since all the drama at the Suns, but props to Morris who I thought tried out there, made plays for his team mates and actually hit some shots.

When his name was thrown out there as a possibility I had some doubts. It seemed a pretty tough time in Cleveland when he got the job. But it was his first head coaching role so you going to try and make the best of it, even if your not really coaching and the guy on the court with 23 on his back is calling the shots.
So now that Lue has had the taste and won a ring, he should bide his time for another Lebron-less opportunity.

Magic to get a pro-tampering clause written in and take over as coach?

@ACT-Crusader I got Raz jr a pair for this season and he loves them. They have that retro 90s look with all the 2010s support and tech.

Chef Curry delivers in the 4th.
Houston trapped the Splash brothers for good parts of the game, but the Warriors role players - Iggy, Looney, Livingstone etc really stepped up. Draymond’s allround game was was awesome too.
CP3 probably couldn’t play any better, but there was not the killer instinct on both sides from others.

The Lakers on the verge of signing Frank Vogel, who used to coach the Pacers a few years back. I guess he was so keen to get back coaching in the NBA that he was willing to bow to their demands (lower wages, having Jason Kidd on staff to coach Lonzo Ball). Never a good start in my mind. Jeannie Buss is apparently heavily influenced by Kurt Rambis and Phil Jackson. Not exactly wild successes at team management. I would have preferred them to hire a real career GM like David Griffin and empower him to do his job. None of this has the feel of a cohesive plan
