Awful reffing complete bull####

Nobody can hold a lead in the playoffs these days, doesn't matter what league.

Mathurin match fixing investigation needed.

Great 4th quarter from the MVP. This might go to 7

[The Big Chill]

Now that was a scrappy game. These two teams are entertaining.

Hmm... OCK able to play like this, but they sure took their sweet time getting to their A game didn't they...

call me oldschool, but trading 4 first rounders for a third option seems crazy.

Depends on the pick protections. ORL should be solid enough in the weak east for years to come so there shouldn't be much risk, but you'd still want to slap at least top 5 protection on just in case. This year's pick at 16 will probably be the highest of the bunch. The '26 1st is confusing because it's involved in like 5 swaps...PHX probably isn't bottoming out even without Durant since they don't any of their own picks.

I don't know enough about the cap, but I wonder if they could have spent less to take Jrue or KP from BOS. But Bane is obviously a better long term move if they can afford everyone

You're not old school. That trade is lopsided.

Holmgren is terrible on the offensive end.

I still think it goes 7. Though it might not if Haliburton isn't 100%.
