It kind of sucks that Chris Paul gets injured EVERY SINGLE playoffs.

Is it safe to say that the Miami Heat/Jimmy Butler mystique has died a death? Look at the difference Jrue Holiday makes!

Just noticed he was PLUS 41! I SAID we should've tried harder to get him! He's like Norman Powell only really good.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

We miss a go-ahead three and suddenly we're down 11

 

[Rastapopoulos]

UGLY misses from RoCo and NoPo

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Guys, I think both teams bet that the final score would be 75-66

 

[wizenheimer]

The Celtics, Heat and the Suns are all done

that list is incomplete

 

[DDolla]

that list is incomplete

Add the Blazers

Meyers was the secret sauce.

Exactly. No matter what nobody is beating the lakers between these two teams anyways next series

You SERIOUSLY think we could've gotten Jrue Holiday at the deadline? Lmao.

We should've gotten LeBron too. Stupid Olshey.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Long before the deadline. Seems like you disagreed.

Sarcasm is hard, isn't it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

A lot of writers who wrote obituaries for the Nuggets after game 1 should be feeling pretty stupid right now.

 

[THE HCP]

 

[julius]

Ayton wasn’t suspended. Checkmate.

So

A: you felt the need to bring this up *days* after it happened
B: you felt the need to message me the same message
C: you fail to see that you, of all posters on here, really shouldn't be pulling this kind of shit?

Go troll someone else.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I bet the Heat are re-thinking refusing to give up Herro in a trade for James Harden...

 

[THE HCP]

But I thought the Alfredo guy said BAM was the best thing on earth 37 TIMES! Told us how he had been telling us all along 54 TIMES how we messed up not drafting him!!??

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Also, while we're piling on the Heat:

You should be nice to him - he writes for ESPN:

"Alfredo" is prone to wild hyperbole when he jumps out from under his bridge

But, as far as the 2017 draft, so far this season:

points: Bam Adebayo 1239....Donovan Mitchell 1426....John Collins 1123....Zach Collins 0
rebounds: Bam Adebayo 596....Donovan Mitchell 237....John Collins 476....Zach Collins 0
assists: Bam Adebayo 359....Donovan Mitchell 277....John Collins 78....Zach Collins 0
winshares: Bam Adebayo 8.8....Donovan Mitchell 6.2....John Collins 6.7....Zach Collins 0

and last season, wouldn't look significantly different than this season

Portland could have come out of that 2017 draft with Bam Adebayo and Dillon Brooks; or Donovan Mitchell & Brooks; or John Collins, OG Anunoby/Jarret Allen, & Brooks. Instead they came out of it with Zach and Caleb Swanigan. So yeah, the Blazers fucked that draft up big-time...no debate

And I don’t think anybody but JinxSpeed would disagree with you here. But I don’t need to read about it SEVEN times a day! We get it.

so then, 6 times is the cut-off?

Me and natbishop been telling you for months!

Sarcasm is hard, isn't it.

You do realize the Bucks gave up even more and were had absolutely no realistic shot at getting Holiday, right?

 

[wizenheimer]

they gave up Bledsoe and 35 year old George Hill, plus a 24th pick and a couple of pick swaps several years out. That isn't the high price you're implying, That's especially true considering how often you pump up CJ's value around here. Now you're saying CJ doesn't have the value of Bledsoe and Hill?
