    This might be the least serious playoff series I may have ever seen.

    Trevor Ariza was a scrub for the Hawks the team that DID pay him so was the right move. That team was done had a one year window because Morey got vets who were old AF and only had a couple years left in the tank.

    You are right Rockets just unlucky and Stone while competent isnt exceptional. He is like a B-B+ GM but OKC has an S+ GM and SAS got Wemby so the NBA gave him a supporting cast so they can be the new face of the league.

    It isnt the end of the world though but I hope they fire Udoka and get a real coach. Tilman needs to open up his wallet and get consultants and actual player development coaches here who will work with our young guys cuz they need basic fundamentals like ball handling, dribbling, making passes, shooting wide open shots etc

    Reed would have 8-9 assists if we had shooters on this team.

    But since I said something positive about reeds playmaking, I have to say something negative. Reed has shot terribly. He's gotta start hitting those.

    Amen has been busting his *** . Where has this been?

    You can tell Ime has no ****ing clue. All real coaches play 8-9 guys tops in the playoffs, we're emptying our bench like it's mid-November. BUm ass coach. And that moron tried to say I was wrong for knowing he was an idiot for fumbling Nia Long for probably some skinny white b**** who works for the Celtics with no ass.
