Thunder over Grizz. Duh.
Magic over Celtics. Double duh.
Heat over Cavs. I would find this amusing.
Rockets over Warriors. Butler hate is in my blood.
No love for Randle and DDV combined with some Laker Hateraid?
Oh, for sure! I was just looking at today's schedule.
I love what Minny did yesterday. ESPN must be shitting themselves. 
Unselfish stats for Julius.
Congratulations on your playoff berth, Memphis.

Randle isnt under the same pressure he was in NY. Ant carries that weight in Minny. Might see a different Randle this postseason.
This Griz vs Thunder game is making forget why I liked basketball in the first place.
Memphis down by 50? Remember when they were top 4 in the league this year?

The Grizz need more weapons. More weapons is the last thing Ja needs.

Yeah, I can honestly say that I miss him more than Jules. Which isn't saying much because Jules crumbles in the playoffs because of his weak psyche. Please prove me wrong, please give me that crow I am hungry for it. Donte was the one that got away Although he wanted no part of the bench and we got a better player and starter in Mikal to take his place. Did you see Mikal's game winner? It was glorious,if I am being honest

Julius is not the only All-NBA/All-Star talent this time around, and not playing on an injured ankle. So I'm guessing he's going to have a pretty good playoff run. And that his haters will still hate.
Didn't catch the Houston-GS game but looking at the boxscore, Durant is the type of player they seem to need. An offensive hub, go-to guy.
I don't watch Houston enough but they seem like they have an offensive ceiling in the playoffs. Jalen Green and Sengun - again, at the playoff level - won't cut it, or at least not soon. I don't think either of those guys have it in them.

100% they need KD - its a match made in heaven. They have plenty of young long term talent - more than they need or can afford at the same time. At this exact moment KD is better at every single thing Jalen Green does for them and Green will never approach KD level. To me this is the easy swap - lets them commit long term to Sengun, Thompson etc., while giving them a real 2 yr title contention window and long term core pieces they can afford to keep. I usually hate the young for old starphuch, but the Rockets have exactly the right pieces to make this happen and improve their window while not mortgaging anything long term.

KD to Houston, Giannis to OKC.

I watched the game. Watched Jules a ton. It's clear his job was to take Lebron out of the game and he absolutely did. Had a body on him every minute. He was a physical defender all night and played like a champ. They have a great shot to beat LA

OKC may not need another piece. We shall see. Who's trading iHart for Giannis anyway :)

SGA is near unstoppable but I think that's the key to slowing them down, if you got the personnel. After SGA, my assumption is that their offense is kinda weak.
I guess it's all up to the refs and their whistle lol

Jalen Williams is a pretty efficient 2nd Banana. They seem to always have one other guy going off...a Wiggins, Joe, etc. That said don't underestimate how far having an iHart supporting your supernova first banana can get you. One of the best pick and roll partners in the NBA because of his passing/decision making with the ball and paint scoring efficiency.
lol he literally yells GET UP
