I wonder how much cap space the Lakers have. They would be a threat to sign Mitch if they can get to ~$20 million per...

Anyone else disgusted with the Cavs? What a gutless team

The grass is always greener. Darryl had his missteps but he is a really good GM and did wonders for them on the periphery.

Why?

They just scored 9 straight to tie it with 45 seconds left in the game. Pretty gutsy looking down the stretch tonight. They have a shot to win this in Detroit.

They literally went on that run after my post. They are making me look ridiculous!

I'm rooting for them primarily to give us home court advantage.

I want game 1 to be in front a delirious crowd at MSG

I don't trust Cleveland to finish off Detroit tonight. I feel Cunningham is going to have a nuclear game but Harris and Duren need to man up and help him.

Either way, I like our chances against either team IF we continue to play like we've played.

I was a game too early, LMFAO. Who do you want to play next round? I want to play CLE but I'm glad it went 7 at least

If we play like we've played since being down 2-1 against Atlanta where KAT is the hub and everyone is eating and defending, we will win this series. If we go back to Brunson being a one man show and taking 25 plus shots and we go back to playing lazy on defense and on the glass and turn the ball over, we will not win this series. It's really that simple.

Good hire for them.
Orlando would have taken Pistons if Franz was healthy.
Curious the Pels had interviewd Rondo. While known as a very smart "savant" of a player with great recall and basketball knowledge I only recall his personality issues as its was rumored he was a bit on the spectrum. I only mention this becaue communication skills are paramount when your the voice of the team doing post game press after each game, public events, having a staff report to you and you reporting to GM/Pres/owner. Let alone proviidng leadership to the players.
Perhaps he has grown since his playing days but though it was a curious prospect.

Rondo is super smart basketball wise

That said keep in mind his tirade, gay slurs against Billy Kennedy. I have to imagine that entered the calculus, i.e., the referee brotherhood probably holding grudges

Laying on the hardwood floor and celebrating by drinking champagne with his adolescent kid was not a great look for him. That is the image that always come to mind for me when his name comes up

Rondo had some crazy games vs the Knicks back in the early 2010's. He was just ferocious.

What?

ToddTT @ 5/19/2026 7:18 PM
Holy shit! Just in time for the Cavs!

Should we create a Mike Brown appreciation thread?
