Shucks, Detroit been playing well recently too.
Wow hope Icey recovers fully.
Oh snap!
Close one. Ant catching more heat from fans than Randle.
Randle had a good game. Ant did not.
Raptors just 5.5 games back from 76ers with IQ back and GSW looks like they're going to give the 6ers another L tonight. I'm pushing for the Raps to make the play-in over Philly.

I want no part of Philly in the playoffs. Healthy they are a problem.
Fucking Jimmy Butler? What is really about? Money? Ok, I get it. Then just say it.
Sure I'd love to have him reunite with Thibs but even at 30mil a year thats just going to be a tough get.
Always fun when Miami gets fucked over but they bounce back way too fast.
I'm LOVING the drama in Miami! About damn time that franchise went through something like this! But Pat the Rat looks really bad here suspending Butler for 7 games. Seems way too extreme. And considering what Butler has done for them taking them to the Finals. That team would been have a lotto team every year without him. Riley looks very ungrateful and self centered, which is not surprising. He's done this before with Shaq and LeBum. And I doubt they will get an even trade for a 35 year old declining Butler too. I just hope it's the start of their demise and decline. That franchise needs to go away for a loooong time!

Sunshine, bikinis, and no state taxes to their rescue.

Fair weather........too many tweets saying so little.
What's nuts about OKC is they have surplus of yoot and picks to make Milwaukee a hell of a deal for Giannis.
It would be an overpay but Gianiss has two more years of contract plus a 62 mil year player option.
Not saying bucks are there and one does it mid season but compelling.
Can't say what Presti has in mind. Have to start paying what he has and he has 13 picks over the next 5 years alone in the first round? Maybe it was 7 years.
He is going to be gone for a very long time.

Butler took that contract and by doing so accepted he is the franchise. not sure what's up with Bam but Butler wants them to cash it in and get a "Star", well he should be that star! He making 48mil t his year, 52 next if he opts in. Grateful? They went to finals and Conf finals in 2023. Is he still that guy?
Likely not. He is asking for 100mil over 3 years. Its a fair price, but seems Miami will let him walk if he can't get that elsewhere. Fact is he could just opt in also.
OKC stiffled Boston in the second half. They might be cementing themselves as the best team in the NBA.

Boston. has depth issues also. Not quite like ours.
took that roster a few years to get it right if one recalls.
Our ceiling is very high but there is but so much a team can do given cap/aprons so perhaps padding the wins when the schedule was week could be part of the plan.
Pro teams are not oblivious to the issues we are discussing.

Both Jimmy Butler and Tyreek Hill want out of Miami I guess the state income tax savings wasn’t enough
