Hassan Whiteside is not exactly a $98 million dollar man.

Cowens,

Don't use that link and read the article. There's something there that will make your head explode. affraid

I repeat, don't go there. We need you strong for the rest of the playoffs.

I`m thinking Kelly O, but I am afraid I spoiled the fun.

Kudos to Lebron for being a runaway freight train and still having the ability to carry his team as he is a one man team, never seen a box score that confirms this more. He’s morphed into a Magic/Karl Malone clone at 33.....amazing!!!

And the 3 he hit was so Bird/Pierce like....hahaha

by **worcester** Thu Apr 26, 2018 11:11 am

LeBron is simply the best player in the world, still. Amazing athlete.

Westbrook carried his team last night too, overcoming several previous bad games.

Hi,
Last night both Lebron and Pacers gambled (the last play). Pacers thought that he has better chances to score by impersonating a freight train than Steph Curry. Lebron decided to shoot. He won.
In general, I doubt that the team (Cavs) with such defense or, rather lack there of, will go far in the playoffs.
Also, how far Lebron can go averaging over 42 MPG (in playoffs).

It will be intetesting to see if the Bucks make any adjustments.

I expect that Boston will play lock down defense again and wrap this one up. I expect them to be better on offense as well.

Who would have thunk that a 2nd round pick would find himself in such a prominent position of having to start and defend the opponents best player.

Brad recognized the need to insert more quickness into the lineup. If Theis was playing he would have likely been tasked with this assignment. But this has been a startlingly next man up season..the next man up turned out to be Semi.

Next year this Celtics team is going to be even better but it is hard to find fault with the way this team has fought through adversity.

This has been a remarkable campaign by almost any measurement.

Cavs just got blown out.

OKC is playing golf tomorrow.

Donovan Mitchell has arrived!

Donovan Mitchell had more than three times as many points as Paul George and Carmelo Anthony combined: 38 vs 12. Think about that.

by **kdp59** Sat Apr 28, 2018 9:37 am

OKC is a mess now.

George is likely GONE

and they are STUCK with Melo

wow

Wanna bet Westbrook might be looking for a way out soon?

by **worcester** Sat Apr 28, 2018 10:23 am

Melo has a $25M guaranteed contract next year in OKC. Billy Donovan sucks as an NBA coach. He's an example of the Peter Principle in action. He should have stayed a college coach.

Worcester,

Billy Donovan's problem is that nobody on OKC is allowed to have a bigger peter than Russell Westbrook's.

Paul George has been wildly inconsistent the whole year, is this guy good enough to lead/carry a team, he’s got talent, etc....I don’t know how a max player type comes up so small in a close out game?
