The GM too. How unreal, surely some shenanigans involved?

That gut wrenching loss to the Twolves was probably the last straw. Malone had mentioned quite publicly he'd lost the room and they didn't even watch tape, the GM was a clown that continued to waste having the best player in the world with foolish signings and a garbage roster, and the team had become unhinged both behind the scenes and in front of the cameras.

God willing Jamal and MPJ are sent packing this offseason. Please get Jokic some actual guys to run with.

Ballsy to make a move with so few games left. Although sounds like GM was not technically fired, just won't be coming back.

Malone is a good coach, you'd like to think a group of professionals could bury the hatchet for a playoff run. Adelman's kid might be a good coach if he is anything like his Dad, but I doubt this works for this year.

Sounds like the GM didn’t Westbrook playing as much. Westbrook just doesn’t fit anywhere.

The GM looks like a Mike Brown doppelgänger

Eastern conference is Pacers/Bucks Pistons/Knicks. They play in the in the east is a joke 3 teams with sub .500 records and the Magic might finish .500. They should scrap it. Having a 35 win team making the playoffs is a joke.

Amazingly the Suns record wouldn't even get them into the East play-in (albeit a tougher strength of schedule)

Speaking of the Suns, remember when they made the Finals in 2021 and looked well set to be a contender for years? Fast forward to now and one of the biggest disasters of a franchise in the league.

Monty Williams, Frank Vogel, and now Budenholzer they will be on coach 4 in 4 years. 2 of the coaches recently won NBA titles, so maybe the coaches are not the problem?

KD is a coach killer just like LeBron. They went to the Nets and ruined Kenny Atkinson and got him fired, he was playing games in Golden State with Steve Kerr.

OKC set the record for point differential with a +12.9. The 4 teams below them all won the NBA title.

Would be cool to see a Canadian win another NBA title.

While OKC had a tremendous regular season, I see these playoffs as wide open.

KD is actually what the LeBron haters say LeBron is.

- Overrated
- Coach Killer
- Whiny
- Can't win on his own
- Needed to join a team that won already to win a championships
- Not a top 10 player all time

Probably more than that too but I can't remember all the things people irrationally hate on LeBron for.

I feel like even LeBron haters, short of the most extreme ones, will concede he is undeniable as top 10 all-time, and really most would likely say top 5 for sure. But Lebron, Durant, that type of player is why the Curry's and Jokic's of the world are so universally lauded, they just play ball and shut the #### up otherwise. The LeBrons and Durants are just drama magnets, some of that self-inflicted and some of that just media nonsense, but it's what drives the strong opinions about them more than anything.

Lots of empty seats for the Heat/Bulls play-in game. I wonder what the attendance is like this year. Chicago should be a big market for games like this.

So retire …. He’s taken enough breaks

Thunder humilated the Grizzlies.

What breaks are those exactly? LeBron has been extremely durable his entire career, and usually plays all 82 games. He's gone deep in nearly every playoffs, and plays in every Olympics. James is a freak of nature, nowadays you're lucky for stars to play 60 games a season.

Hasn’t played a full season for almost 10 years
