The ECF is going to be awesome... even though I hate the Heat.
Seeing quite a few #WeTheTrash hashtags...Is that you DJ?
Cheer up. Here's a joke: Why is Pascal Siakam a risk to get Covid-19 everytime he dribbles right? Because he travels.

It’s the Heat vs Boston in the ECF.

A traitor is a betrayer - one who practices injury, while professing friendship. Benedict Arnold was a traitor, solely because, while professing friendship for the American cause, he attempted to injure it. An open enemy, however criminal in other respects, is no traitor.

Tough to feel bad for Morey, he signed that extension knowing what he was getting into to stay in Houston. I don't see Middleton/Westbrook happening, but if it did happen, they'll need a third, probably a fourth team involved.
Charlotte wants Westbrook and I don't see a good pathway there either, but that potential trade would also need a third or fourth team involved
Morey (I can only assume at the owners behest) has been painting the Rockets into a corner, they're really short of room for manoeuvre now, apart from dealing Harden
on a macro level - raps had no business being in game 7 with a minute to go based on how bad pascal was on offense (as well as gasol). this was an absolutely fantastic season for me from a fan's perspective. had them at around 45 wins (in a non-covid season) and they blew away all my expectations. and while pascal struggled, i still give him an A overall for the season. he was bad since the bubble re-started so it wasn't just a playoff thing - he just didn't adjust well and said he didn't touch a basketball the entire 4 months off.
regardless, great season for me and now begins the offseason. i'm really curious how all gm's/execs evaluate this abnormal season. this bubble may happen again for part of next season but it really is it's own different league.

Doesn’t have to mean I like it. The final 4 are Kawhi, who won last year, LeBron/Lakers, Boston and the Heat. Yawn. The LA series will definitely be fun and so will the ECF for the basketball lover in me... but the teams... Yack.

Just joking. I have to admit that I like watching Jaylen Brown, Smart and Tatum play. That Miami team is also exciting. I hope RJ is watching Jimmy Butler closely. Butler playmaking in Miami is something I hope he emulates.
Hmmm, is that article correct (that he also unfollowed his teammates?)
I still don’t see it, but if they did trade him this offseason, what team and package would they get? Have to presume it would be to a team on his approved list. Just hope it’s not the warriors as they can match the salary with Wiggins, this years no 2 pick, next tears Twolves pick.
Heat could do they’re young players (would fit with Buds system as they are great 3 pt shooters)
Dallas could be cold blooded and trade KP and watch Knicks fandom have a meltdown

Apparently he unfollowed his teammates last off-season as well. Honestly, I hope he waits until the offseason to make a decision. The Knicks could take advantage of teams looking to make cap space to chase him.
Warriors have the most realistic chance
- other conference
- thompson,2nd pick, minnesota's pick next year and warriors can offer their other first round picks.

Yeah, the main competitors can't offer 1st round picks until 2025- Warriors are the only team that could offer him a chip and have firsts to trade (one of which is no 2 this year, and the following year could also be a high one)
They also have a trade exception to boot, so that the bucks won't get additional salary and with this economy, that will be a big difference
So the Greek Freak goes to Golden State...sheesh....
Morey paints himself into a corner. Then his seems to keep getting out of it. Never thought that CP trade he could get out of it, and he did. Rockets were better than I thought they’d be last two seasons.
Fertitta is a new owner and the covid hit him hard. Vegas, restaurants and a NBA team. Not easy.
If he has to shed its on the owner to make that call.
Paul George and Kawhi have melo - stat levels of chemistry, I hope they get their act together and don't deny us a lakers/clips showdown

Yeah idk, they are really lacking mental toughness.

Which is weird as they have mentally tough guys on the roster. Quite a few of them tested for covid before the bubble didn't they? wonder if fatigue is an issue from that?

Yep- depressing! But I think if he wants a trade, they can offer the best package and he'll be happy to go there. Found their Wiggins trade fishy at the time, but the numbers match up to Gianni's, so maybe that was the idea behind it (along with knowing they'd have a top pick this year and insisting on the Twolves pick next year

Could be, but mind you Denver had no rest going into this series and some of the stars have been missing for a bulk of season. I know Doc Rivers is a competent coach but given his history with blowing it in the playoffs, you have to wonder whether or not that’s affecting them. Also I’m not completely sold on Leonard as a leader
