Bye Bud. Thanks for the championship.

Toronto bound?

I wonder if Nurse is Milwaukee bound. As long as he doesn't bring Drake with him.
Bud gone.

Haha, for once, Milwaukee is an attractive job. I do think I'd prefer Nurse. He seems to be able to game plan for the right situations. I think he'd do a better job figuring out how to use Giannis effectively against all teams no matter what their defensive plan is against him. That's where Bud suffered the most. Giannis was thankfully able to dominate the Suns. They had no defensive plan, and that's why Bud has a ring. I appreciate his time here but it's time for a change.
Bud was a great.. and i do mean GREAT regular season coach.
the issue with him is, was and has always been that once you get to the playoffs - when teams zero in on what you do and can better game plan? yea he never made adjustments. he just kept doing the same thing and hoped for a different result.
and to his credit he DID get that different result that one year. but it took kyrie and harden getting hurt and KD wearing a shoe one size too big to get it to happen. plus, you know, Giannis putting on an otherworldly performance against phoenix

Agreed with everything but fixed one error.
Is David Stern back?

ONE love, blood, life
Will one of the Boston fans in here please explain to me why, with Brown, Tatum, and Brogdon on the floor, Marcus Smart is the one taking the final shot at regulation. Across three coaches and multiple star three-point shooting teammates, Smart has always had the green light - I will never understand that from a strategic standpoint as long as I live.
Because Udoka is in Houston, Hardy is in Utah, and Bubblicious Joe is in Boston.

Also because Smart is left open,

Folks, need your help.
A new betting app over here offered $101 odds for all NBA teams to win the championship, max bet $10. I bet on Boston.
They’re now offering a $210 payout if you rescind the bet.
Should I take it? How many of you think Celts are going all the way?

The Celtics are the current betting favorites to win the title at most sports books. They will have home court advantage in any series the rest of the way.
Had they won yesterday, I'd say hanging onto the bet would be wise. But that loss certainly makes the current series vs Philly a basic toss-up. 2 of remaining 3 games are in Boston. If they get past Philly they'll be clear betting favorites against Miami or NY. Likely favored over any of the 4 western conference teams should they make the finals, but not significantly so.
It really comes down to can you use $210 guaranteed, or do you want to take a basic 1 in 8 shot at increasing that 5 fold? Simple math/statistics right now says take the $210, whereas like I said had they won yesterday, that math would have tilted ever so slightly towards letting the bet ride.

i can't imagine where Matt Ishbia learned how to flop like that...

Suns playing with CP3 this series, 0-2
Suns playing without CP3 this series. 2-0.
Coinkydink? Unlikely.

How much are the Warriors paying Jordan Poole again?
Maybe Draymond was onto something.

i always thought they gave him that contract in order to trade him as part of a deal for another large contract - similar to what they did with d'angelo russell, but, uh, that's not exactly working out.

Does this home loss make you more inclined to tell me to take the $210?
lol I'm not doing to even pretend to know what's going on in these playoffs anymore

Dude if that offer still stands and you don't jump on it now, you're a fool.

When was the last time the NBA finals featured a 7 seed vs an 8 seed?

This was the push I needed haha.
AMAZINGLY, they extended the offer AFTER the loss. They closed it this morning before the game, and then when they lost they re-opened it. Wild.
Ok Steph this is your chance...
