Been wondering why the Bucks and the Sixers for that matter, haven't been seeking out Trae and Bogs on the defensive end.

That is the question I asked after the Knicks series, and was told "zone defense".
Looking at Middleton's highlights, whenever Khris scored, Trae was somewhere else, hanging out on the other side, guarding no one in particular.

It’s funny because watching the West series they are actively hunting mismatches and in the East they just seem so focused on executing their offense and defense they don’t seem to care. Even the Hawks don’t really do it. The biggest thing they try to do is speed up their execution in the fourth to get their opponents backpedaling.
Trae wouldn’t be able to hide like he has been if he was playing the clippers or the Suns right now.

Because Simmons was too busy point shaving in the sixers Hawks series

Why was Milwaukee sporting those Blue uni’s? The “Cream” was kinda cool with some historical context. ANyone gather what the blue was representing?
And If I never see “The valley” unis again that would be OK. Alt unis in playoffs I don’t get.

I can see him being a Knick. Kid went to BC so can't be a dummy
i like him way better than a bunch of other names being tossed around. IIRC he's playing for peanuts* this year (* peanuts by NBA standards).
He's had an interesting journey where he was drafted to back up Russell (that didn't sit well); then went to Detroit where expectations were huge. I would like to think he's settling in to being a professional, more mature and just playing to the best of his ability.

The guy was trash until a couple of months ago. Already 31 years old. And he will likely want a long term deal for meaningfully more than the $10m per year that the Clips can offer him. I do not think he is right for our team.

I will admit while I've never liked R.Jackson as he seems to have a sour attitude - he did step up and hit clutch shots vs Phx all series. If we keep and build around Randle - he's probably a decent option as he shoots well and plays tough. Thibs would probably ask for a raise to coach this guy though...

Yeah, I don't like Reggie either, but I'd learn to live with it if he provided competency at PG slot on a short-term deal.

Looks like it’s going to be Hawks vs Suns.
Too bad we couldn’t solve the Hawks. The main criteria for winning the championship this year is staying healthy.

Is it confirmed that Giannis will be out long term?

As somebody that has injured his knee, I can’t even watch shit like that. I saw a few degrees of hyper extension and turned away.
The fact that he walked afterwards had to be adrenaline IMO. I think by tomorrow he’ll be in a world of pain.
I hope I’m wrong.
ToddTT@ 6/29/2021 10:19 PM
Max Randle ASAP. He’s built like a brick shithouse.

"Anthony Davis, you're going to be our Magic. Horton-Tucker, we're going to make you our second Lebron. Kuz...we're going to get you right! You're going to be our Paul George. Caruso is going to be our Luka. Remember, you keep what you kill! After Lebron is finished eating of course..."

Sign 4 year deal. Coach 1 season. Start second season and get fired couple months before COVID kicks in. Lounge with hot wife during COVID while getting paaaaaiiiiiid. Sign new deal with Lakers while still getting paaaaiiidd by Knicks after majority of COVID dissipates.
