Mark Cuban interview with Stephen a smith about Luka. Still mad at Cuban.

Pat Connaughton’s career high for points was 24.

He went for 43/11/5 today. The only other Bucks to do 40/10/5 are Giannis, Kareem, and Khris Middleton.

Lakers probably catch a break facing Minny instead of GSW. Luka owns Gobert in the playoffs and Minnesota doesnt have anyone who can take advantage of the Lakers lack of a center.

Den vs LAC will also be a fun series, LAC probably second best team in the west when healthy but there’s like a 2% chance Kawhi can make it through multiple playoff series.

I’m so pissed the woyas couldn’t beat LAC and give the wolves the 5 seed. Would much rather play Denver and now I’m forced to watch a bunch of shitbag Luka games.

suns fire coach cause well duh they missed the playoffs with the expensive roster, pelicans want joe dumars as exec VP,

wnba draft tonight, wnba is a bit stranger cause you can get a first round pick for a 5th starter or bench player who gets 8ppg. boring cause we already know the #1 pick. after that who knows and who knows if any of them are any good.

ā€œdefense wins championshipsā€
ā€œI think once we win, then that will change your mind.ā€

Mavericks GM Nico Harrison on those skeptical of Luka Doncic trade

well what was he going to say, ā€œno that big trade I made was really stupid and I shouldn’t have this job?ā€

He probably feels pretty smug after the mavs blew out the kings. I really want Memphis to beat the mavs for Nico’s sake but I can’t wish that on the players.

Do the players even want to win?

Are the game checks really that big?

I feel like the players want to win. They have a lot of competive guys and most of the roster has at least been to the finals. That being said with kyrie out they have a much lower ceiling but might be fun to see them annoy okc in a game or two,

popovich apparently fainted in a restaurant and went to hospital is fine now

Kyle kuzma might be the worst nba player of all time

giannis has gotta be like why do I have to be surrounded by idiots

22 minute Tony Snell Cardio game. Can’t be too many of those in the playoffs.

Kuzma actually did it before this year too.

6th player in Playoff history to accomplish this feat in minimum 20 minutes (previous by Mike Dunleavy in 2015) [edit or 7th depending on where you track semi ojeyele’s minutes in 2018 for boston]

Wizards are terrible but yet managed to dump 2 untradeable contracts in Beal and Wall and traded Westbrook (I think that his last good westbrook year)/ and Kuzma for actual things. lol at getting all the picks from the Suns right now.

I mean sure wall was traded for westbrook who was traded for kuzma but still

Happens here and there but Snell is the one who got meme’d. Bruce Bowen probably best player to do it multiple times (including playoffs once).

My favorite is probably 29 minutes of nothing but 0’s from Joel Anthony, who’s job on the bosh/wade/bron heat was to rightfully just get the hell out of the way.

Actually surprising the bagel playoff list overall isn’t so bad, some of those guys were at least good role players.
