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

@canefan No matter which way they skin the cat, LeBron is always gonna be master of the Lakers pussy as long as he's there and there solely to deliver a title.
I'd say the odds of him delivering it are long at the moment. Unless they can make a big splash signing or two

I reckon they'd need two marquee players. For all they know, next season could be the one when LeBron's productivity drops off and he needs more help. One more star won't be enough in that instance. Of course it'll level the field up a little if KD goes to NY and teams may then not be as desperate to recruit to Super Team level so if that happens and LAL can attact Boogie as well then the cat is back among the pigeons.
Of course the flip side to recruiting two stars at once in the hope of an immediate turnaround is whether they can gel in the team. Didn't work for OKC when they recruited PG and Melo, and hasn't worked for the Celtics with the disruptive Kyrie as well as Hayward. Has worked better for Philly with Butler as their Big Three were recruited over a period of years and not hurriedly thrown together and for the same reason it's clearly worked in the Bay Area with their Big Twenty or however many All Stars they have now. I think in general it's too hard to recruit two guys at once who in their own right are franchise players. So LAL should be mindful of this id they look to buy a championship next year by recruiting two big names, especially if they have to bow down to LBJ.
