Honestly think the Pistons are in trouble against ORL. ORL neuters their biggest advantage and has more offensive weapons on the other end. CLE might get a cakewalk to the ECF.

and don't forget Sixers traded up to take Fultz. They gave Celtics the three and a 1st that was used to draft Romeo Langford. While he did not pan out, I think he was used as a small piece in the trade for Derrick white. Celtics still owe a 2028 1st round pick to SAS. Langford was picked 14th.
Danny Ainge at this best!

Now you're gaslighting acting like you weren't the one provoking a confrontation.
How convenient of you to sidestep any accountability for the insertion of your Mo fan insults into an unrelated topic.
I don't have any more time for your games. You're the one behaving like a child. Leave me out of your narrative from now on.
Busts don't do as the best player for Orlando did yesterday. Inconsistant players do. As for "MO FAN insults"......Lets put it into context. You would not give Mo The contract Banchero got . Why? He has yet to produce like Paolo did his first two years. This is hypothetical so relax francis. You were the one that said they should waive Paolo. My point was while he might not be what all thought, he has done it. Busts don't. More likely is you retrain him into an AARON gordan Type or Tobias Harris and while not a full value, a very servicable mid tier player. Busts are guys out of the league. Sorry if this offends you. But your statement was quite strong and I felt off point. Not you, not your children.

I don't agree about the Danny Ainge thing. Honestly if he thought Tatum was going to be as good as he has been, Ainge was a fool to risk it allowing picks 1 and 2 to potentially take him.
IMO a better metric for Danny is the Romeo (and many other failed picks -- some unplayable). Also an ostensibly older, wiser Ainge has been a disaster in Utah trading away elite talent and having nothing to show for it. Ainge was the beneficiary of a well-run, well organized Celtics machine

haven't checked into the CLE situation but you're totally right about Orl/Pistons. would love Pistons to get bounced by their own medicine

Ainge created opportunities and thus some hit and some missed. Fact is he was in a postition to draft Tatum so its all good. That draft was crazy as Donovan mitchell went 13th, Bam goes 14th. We all know the 9th pick!
I don't know what was in his head but Im thinking he knew what Philly was going to do. NO doubt Tatum in hindsight was the logical 1st but as we all know Nalod got hang ups on "Context" so one has to really dig deep to understand what team had needs and why they did what they did. Lonzo at the 2? Obviously again what seems obvious now was not on draft day.
As for Utah? Lets see what they look like in the next two years. In general they kind of underachieved in Boston given what they had but the young core of Tatum and Brown did come on faster then expected and for that Danny did lay the ground work for a chip. He did dirty on little Isiah thomas and got burned on Kyrie so Karma bit his ass on that. Danny did get too cute at times.
That Lakers were handed two number 2 picks used for Lonzo and Ingram was comical as they were to be with Jules as the lakers future core. As it was to be, They were traded for Davis and Jules was let to walk and they signed Lebron. They got a chip.

There was a good game on last night. Too bad the NBA hates the east coast.

This seems as good as place as any to bitch and moan about knicks games, actual New York Knicks playoff games!! Exclusively on Amazon prime.
Seriously, how are we not rioting in the streets based on this? By the way, I have prime, but this is so infuriating so frustrating just so disappointing on so many levels. I don’t even know how to maintain enjoyment basd on this. Just makes my blood boil. You’re trying to tell me that someone that doesn’t or can’t afford Amazon prime living in the New York New Jersey area cant watch the Knicks on the cable channel they already pay for? Amazon prime and the scum bag slum lord that runs it can fuck off for all I care. Matter fact, fuck him off right to fucking Mars with no space suit —scumbag greedy fuck that he is. And to think, some poor or regular people actually like this piece of shit. He doesn’t like you. He’s using you. We’re a commodity to him.
Rant over. Just another death by 1000 cut example issued by the ruling class. And fuck Nasfaratu as well, the nba commissioner in disguise we all know he’s undead
Just infuriating.

Agreed 100%
I hate watching on Prime. The rewind/ff is awful too, at least for me. So slow or whatever.
