    Poor Lebron. He's got a little bubble championship, of which I'm not 100% certain actually happened, mixed in with a non playoff year and a first round exit. Beat it!
    Double shot of hatorade this morning huh?  Your 76ers won't see next rd either.
    Lol....okay man. They're already in the next round. 

    I enjoy watching the Lakers and Lebron lose. Sue me!
    You know what I mean.  They aren't getting out of this round w/o Embiid.  Which is too bad because I was enjoying them play.

    So we got AD, Embiid, CP3, Luka on the All-Injured List.  Can we add one more and make it a legit team?
    Jaylen Brown?
    Jamal Murray

    Kemba Walker
    Guess we have our winner in James Harden
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Drazen was pretty good.  I liked him.  That nets team was looking good too then Drazen dies.

    Jayson Williams shot someone years later.

    Willis Reed was also a 2nd rounder and won the MVP in 1970, but Jokic is the lowest draft pick to ever win.

    Jazz are for real this year.  They have been my pick to go to the finals after everyone got hurt in the first round.  I am still amazed how well they are playing.  Congrats to Gobert for his 3rd DPOTY.
    Clippers look off.  Like really off.

    Nets/Bucks game was a fun one to watch.  A security guard ran onto the court to break up the players from fighting.  Never saw that before?  I think he gets fired, lol?

    Very low scoring game but it was definitely fun.  I don't think the Bucks win another game though.

    Yeah the Bucks look like they are spent after that one. I thought it was a tough one to watch. Nice close game, but just a lot of bad offense and horrible officiating yet again. Giannis is such a bad free throw shooter. Van Gundy was right when he said he needs to change up his routine. It's awkward watching him take up the full ten seconds only to brick or toss up an air ball.

    So you've finally come around the Jazz? They're one of the better shooting teams you'll ever see.

    Every year, like the Bucks, they were great during the season then get destroyed and have an early exit or just can't make it past that one team.

    Watching them this year they are playing so much better.  It passes the eye test.

    Oh and I like the defensive play.  Was shocked to see Giannis get blocked on the baseline.

    The Jazz? Nah, @wobbie can correct me if I am wrong, but I doubt they've been nearly as good as they've been this year since the Stockton and Malone era....

    Despite Milwaukee winning game 3, it's obvious what any elite team like the Nets should do from a strategic standpoint, let Giannis get his, limit him in the paint when possible and send various defensive schemes on Middleton and Holiday.

    Maybe since AK47.  Don't have to go that far back as Malone/Stockton era?  Since Snyder has been coach and Gobert has been on the team they average 45 wins or so a year.  That's not bad. 3 of the years have been 50 win seasons. This is their 5th year in the playoffs.

    To me they were good in the regular season but couldn't hang in the playoffs.  I've watched it, same as the Bucks.

    I'll praise them this year though.  They look damn good.

    Yeah but they only played 72 games this year. Would've had 60 in a normal year. It's their best winning percentage since '98.

    Not arguing that.  They had good teams though under Sloan and AK.  They were 3rd seeds.

    Looking back at those Stockton Malone teams they were beasts only to come up against the mighty Bulls.

    I will add that #12 pick donovan mitchell is quite a bit better than #1 markelle fultz or #2 lonzo. don’t know who else was in between.
