Houston needs to address the issues surrounding Udoka pretty early on and get on top of it. Be interesting to hear what is said after being out of the limelight for a while. But he's a very good coach and otherwise fits well into a team that needs to turns a corner quickly. If they were to draft well you could see them improving rapidly, and quickly.

Bucks in real trouble now after that, incredible from Butler.

Also nice to see The Finnisher win his expected MIP award. He was basically putting up the same numbers and splits as Dirk's MVP season, it's just that the league now is very high scoring and guys averaging 30 points or crazy triple double figures like Doncic and Jokic is the norm.

Among the candidates Rockets have and are going to have an interview with, Vogel, Udoka, Atkinson and Nurse, I like him the best.

I've been worrying about his scandal at Celtics but sources said the mgmt did some research into that before they made the decision, so I guess it was no big deal. As long as he keeps it in his pants, he will be a good coach.

So yes, quite happy with the result.

Jimmy is sick!

Nice yes seems a good hire if he can keep it in his pants like you said — his tenure at Celtics was solid until that fuckup

Jimmy really switches it on during the playoffs — that was clutch

Markkanen really seems to have improved a lot since leaving the Bulls

Is Butler the most underrated star in the league? He has numerous playoff 40 point games in the last 4 seasons alone

Gritty win, Lakers got 3-1

 

[Bianconero81]

A shitty day for basketball.

 

[Rockets]

looks like some upset is about to happen. If Lakers beating Grizzlies is somehow foreseeable, then I really didn't see Heats 3-1 Bucks coming lol

 

[JuveJay]

Lakers often have the stars aligned come playoff time, and they traded for this precise moment, so I'm not surprised. But Bucks going out now would be big.

 

[Bianconero81]

I wonder what the betting odds are on both the Grizz and Bucks coming back from 3-1 down. It could be interesting to put $50 on that. Oh, and in case I forgot to mention it, FUCK THE LAKERS!

Trae ice cold

Trae ice cold

hope that goes to 7 games

 

[Rockets]

76ers fans happy right now, more time for Embiid recovery

 

[zizinho]

I was about to say today that it's opening up for the Celtics, Embiid injury, Bucks on the brink of elimination, but Trae with the dagger there. If they take G6 at home, Boston gonna be under huge pressure

Fuck that, Ant is A1 from day 1.

He is so special there's almost no one in league I would trade him for. No one.

Jimmy Butler Michael Jordan's son confirmed!

Absolute amazing job from the Heats.

 

[JuveJay]

I don't think Giannis could have done anymore himself but not only Jimmy, great supporting cast too.
