Good for the Wolves. Hope they draft Towns. He would fit in really well.

[spike]

Jason Terry is a dumpster fire out there. I realize pirogioni is 37 too...but at least hes been useful.

he'll probably be on the bulls next year

[Monkey_Driven]

Warriors small ball lineup is so deadly. Good game by the Rockets. They need more guys besides Harden to step up.

Hes not short enough for a bulls backup pg role.

Do you think someone is going to offer draymond the max? Unless they can somehow unload David Lee its really going to screw up their cap situation if they have to match an offer sheet from say the pistons.

They will match any offer for Green. The cap is going to skyrocket after Lee's contract expires next summer. They will happily bite the bullet on the luxury tax bill if it means locking down Green for another 5 years. His contract will look like a steal when the cap jumps 20+ million. If they make the Finals or win it all it will be a no brainer move.

Unfortunately it might mean shopping Barnes or doing a sign and trade. I really like Barnes but he is more expendable.

I dont know if im on the max draymond train. To me, hes the type of player organizations win championships with by finding in the second round not by over paying. Reminds me of Demarre Carroll in Atlanta. Hes the player you need to find and get great contributions from before he ends up being overpaid not after.

[4/5]

crowds continue to chant dumb stuff.The warriors guy won..but James Harden is 'overrated'.

I love a good "O-VER-RA-TED" chant.

[Peeps]

the only chant i ever got behind was Dareeee-ole and that was for strawberry back in the 80s-90s era of the pirates.

Chanting so and so sucks is ridiculous to me since any persons team chanting that would love to have that person on their team

I think anyone who finishes second in defensive player of the year and is a major cog in the team's number one overall defense deserves to be paid. Max might be a bit high (I thought the same thing of the Klay signing) right now, but if they sign him for $15 million a year it will be the equivalent of a $9 million a year contract right now when the cap jumps. He's definitely worth that.

This has got to be the most boring final four in a while, for me at least. Could not care less about the splash brothers, Houston is a mess and p*sses me off because they could be good all the time but seem lazy, I don't really know anything about the Hawks, and I'm sick of hearing about what "could have been" with the Cavs if they were healthy. Poor LeBron, he left a team that went to the finals for the past four years. If he doesn't get there this year that is his fault. Who does that?

I would not describe the Warriors as boring. You may not have an interest in their team, but they are definitely not boring to watch. The Hawks haven't been themselves in a long while. The Rockets are not much fun to watch when they are shooting free throws the whole game. The Cavs can be exciting when healthy, but dependent on iso ball when things get tight. So yeah, not the sexiest final four. At least it is four teams that haven't won a championship in a long time or at all.

I will say the modern nba and how everything hinges on three pointers is a bit of a downer for me.

It will swing back the other way in time.

Did you catch phil jacksons tweet earlier in the playoffs trolling the analytics three point crowd when the warriors were cold? And now all the best three point shooting teams are still standing. I got a laugh out of that at least.

[Peeps]

glad to see them fine steph for flopping. personally i think it should be more than 5k and if you do it twice within a season start with suspension without pay

[verb_to_trust]

So this is what a non junky team looks like playing against this undermanned cavs squad. ..

[verb_to_trust]

Pretty sure marv just said the cavs won 44 of their last 43 games. AMAZING!

Bazemore!
