LeBron with 20 rebounds

Trae Young. That last shot was crazy. Hawks not dead yet. 

Cavs scored over 100 points once in that series. Another disappointing end to the season. 

I don’t know the best way to approach this off-season. But if possible, they have got to ship Allen. And I am not sure if JB can come back either, and I like him. 

That was very, very bad basketball by Milwaukee. 

What on earth. The clock is already at 0.0 AS he’s starting the eurostep to THEN attempt a game winning shot to prevent the season from being over.

Uh oh….Butler hurt

I only watched maybe 10 minutes of the Heat game but Kevin Love had 3 of those crazy two handed 79 foot outlet passes for assists in about a 2 minute game span.

Such a crazy ability

When the world class athlete shoots a 3 pointer and just falls down and continues to get 3 free throws or the and 1…..it’s the worst thing in sports that officials just keep calling.

So obvious the Warriors are going to rally from 3-1 to win the series over LeBron. Easy money.

If Golden State can win game six tomorrow in LA, game seven on Sunday could have ridiculous ratings. 

I don't see how GSW gets it done. Looney being able to play a bit more helps. But Lakers are much bigger, deeper, at home, have better role players, and play a style that is more conducive to winning in about 5 different ways. 

Wont pretend to be on some kind of predictive hot streak, since Lakers and Denver are the only teams I have been 100% spot on with this postseason. But I had Lakers in 6 here.

Klay is so fucking washed. If the threes aren’t falling he’s useless. 

Welp, that ridiculous tech in Dennis could change the outcome. Curry already starting to get confidence. Vanderbilt is going to need to be big in his minutes. Walker as well.

Nope. LeBron in complete control of this game. Didn’t matter about Schroeder ejection. LeBron played GSW like a fiddle tonight. Masterclass.

Denver/LAL is going to be awesome. Have to dissect a bit before prediction, but feels like it’s for the title vs what’s left in the East.

Ja Morant just can’t help himself. FFS.

Ja Morant just can’t help himself. FFS. 

As a teacher these paths are easy to see and hard to swallow. It’s hard to get kids in the right direction 7 hours a day for 180 days when all the stuff they are around 17 hours a day 365 a year.

Ja is already financially set correct? I’ll assume he is and he’ll blow it all if something significant doesn’t change.

I hated what Michael Vick did and strongly attribute it to his upbringing and environment….but happy he realized the problem, served his punishment and came out of it.

The trouble parts of these stories are easy to predict and seem greatly avoidable.

Embiid yikes today in game 7 (with a quarter to save himself) while Tatum is going off.

Idk what the 76ers path forward is this off-season but if Harden wants to go rot in Houston (as the rumor goes) then drive him to the airport. Doc Rivers should be added to the list of fired coaches. 

Go Denver I guess. Don’t really care for the other three teams. 

After the NBA ends I kind of settle into this sports-less zone that I somewhat enjoy until I get restless for football towards mid-end July. I’ll probably enter that zone once Denver is eliminated. 

As for Morant, he’s in the middle of a $194 million contract, so he’s being paid. 

From what I’ve read, this wasn’t his upbringing. He had/has good parents and didn’t come from the thug background. He’s just fucking blowing it, idk. 

May not like LeBron, but Lakers team is extremely fun to watch, imo. 

And I’m not sure Morant is set. He’s on rookie deal still, and is going to lose his Nike contract. 

He signed the 5/194 deal. Can that be voided under the right circumstance?

His rookie deal was for nearly $40 million. I know athletes live by different standards and the money can be stretched a lot of different ways, but that’s still a lot. But he’s also an idiot so who knows. 

Didn’t realize he signed. That’s probably guaranteed but not if suspended from team activities. So keep doing dumb shit, you won’t see a penny (more) of it, if I had to guess. 

And based off his lifestyle and choices, seems unlikely he’s been putting it away for retirement.

Also, at the risk of sounding old, people need to stop fucking filming themselves doing everything. No one knows or cares you’re sitting in your car listening to music holding a gun until you go on Instagram live and whoops everyone just saw it now you’re facing a huge suspension. Just stupid. 

Perhaps I'm in the minority.  But who cares if Morant is holding a gun?  Is it legal to own a firearm where he is?  What if it were a bball player posing hunting, with a rifle?  I don't mean to be obtuse.  I just don't understand why he is so vilified.  Don't get me wrong.  I am 100% on board with him being an idiot.  But is holding a firearm that egregiously bad?
