posted by like_thatThis came out of nowhere too. I don't recall reading any rumors about Beilein.
Apparently they interviewed him last week and never disclosed it.
As a Cavs fan I am cautiously optomistic about the JB hire. Maybe he will get to coach Zion!
Didn't see this one coming...good for the Cavs, sucks for ttun--I love it!
Verne with the iconic call

Until they land Donovan or Stevens lol
Lol just turned on tv, it was on ESPN and Around the Horn was about 5 seconds into their into and they kept showing different pics of Sixers players and the background was Kawhi’s ridiculous laugh. It was hilarious.
Kevin Durant’s point total the remainder of the playoffs
Over/under 111.5 points
posted by Commander of AwesomeThat was nuts. Two great game 7s.
These playoffs have been great. I remember last year through the second round most of the games had been decided by 10-15 points. This year you've had two epic series winners by Kawhi and Lillard. The Rockets - Warriors games were all decided by < 6 points. A few game sevens. The 4 overtime game between Portland - Denver, to name a few highlights.

Yeah it's been a great playoffs. Reminds me of that yr when LBJ was on the heat and every series went 7 it seemed.

Just like that particular year, the champion is going to be a team that none of us want to see win. smh.
Draft lottery is tonight. Looking forward to seeing where the Cavs will select.

did I see where they have a 12% chance to win the 1st pick?

Yeah, top odds (with Knicks and Suns). Also better odds to fall to 6th though.
Well fuck
Awesome. Fucking nba.
wow, fuck off Knicks
Kinda wish LA would have just gotten it to blow it up.
I guess you take Culver and hope he develops into another KD type SG.
not getting one of the top 3 really sucked.
Well, fuck this new format.

I get trying to combat tanking, but you’re just going to keep bad teams bad longer this way.

I have never been a fan of the lottery (even though it essentially won a title for the Cavs lol). If the shittiest teams are tanking, who gives a fuck? Nobody is glued to their TV or sprinting to buy tickets to watch the worst teams in the NBA. If anything, the tankathon a fun subplot to the regular season that most NBA stars seem to think is meaningless. You could make an argument that the tankathon is more entertaining than the 2-3 teams fighting for an 8th seed only to get swept in the first round.
Btw, I am not sure if anyone has said it, but Griffin is one lucky fucking GM.

And with the Cavs, it's almost worse. I appreciate that DG was willing to spend money during the Lebron years but his constant turnover with the coaching/front office will likely ensure that the Cavs will suck for a LONG time.

Have you not watched the NBA the last 15 years? Outside of a few franchises, most NBA teams go thru coaches like candy. Some of the franchises who happen to keep their coaches for awhile, are lucky enough to have a superstar or two, which keeps them afloat. I could understand if you were talking about football, but it really is not even comparable.
