I think that Gobert trade is probably going to wind up being the worst trade in NBA history. 

And there have been some titanically horrendous trades over the years. 

Minny basically punted ever being able to contend with Edwards. Why the fuck would he resign for them?

A spectacular loss for the wolves. Shocking how easy the blazers were able to isolate Sharpe on Gobert down the stretch and even more shocking how easily he took him to the rack and finished over him. 

Just amazing how Minnesota sports does the impossible.

I’ve heard of 2 players on Portlands team

No Lillard, no Grant, no Nurkic, no Simons, and yet...

And the missed layup at the end made me legit lol.  I mean...really?  I'm trying to think of another example, ever, where an open layup goes OVER THE BACKBOARD.

 

What a weird play call. You have to get it to Gobert and let him cook.

OKC fans booing Durant every time he touches the ball is one of the more embarassing things I've ever seen from a fanbase.

It's been 7 years. Go back to your meth-ridden trailers and let the dude play basketball.

Luka's defensive effort in a must win game is embarrassing. No effort at all. He has not boxed out anyone all day. He hasn't even attempted to. 

OKC has some size issues. Durant is causing them problems on both ends and he isn't exactly a massive presence. 

The chick doing pbp on the OKC broadcast just said "you cannot rattle Aaron Wiggins"

What? Dude has never played a playoff game. 

 

Durant just had maybe the greatest block of his career.

OKC should keep booing him, though. It appears to be working.

Christian Braun was a steal. This kid is going to be sick.

We were at the game.  The hate is kind of old at this point.  I was hoping they'd give him an ovation at this point but no.  Hate still keeps them warm at night.

At one point, the wife said "KD looks bored and he scored 35 points."  That's a good way to put it.

OKC has major size issues.  Their bigs are terrible.  They have Chet, who they really like but as far as who is playing now, their starting center is a second round rookie PF.  They didn't play any other big men tonight.  They have some outstanding young wings who are potential all stars but their bigs are trash.

Denver is fucking nice. They're on a mission.

Kyrie sign and trade with who?

There are only a few options.

1. Lakers. It would have to be Beasley, Bamba and Rui.
2. Suns. CP3 would have to be included

That’s about it. He doesn’t fit anywhere else. The wildcard perhaps is the wolves with a straight up for Gobert.

Fit? This is Kyrie we are talking about, he doesn't care about that. He could wake up one day and decide he wants to play for the Kings, and sign for the MLE on a 1 year deal just because he can. He'll spout off on Twitter about how they oppressors want to control him and send him to a certain team, but THIS move is him taking control and sticking it to those men behind the curtain!

That dude is just an oddball, he could retire and hang it up, and nobody would be surprised.

Agreed. Was at the game and the hillbilly behind us was literally spitting on us with his overly enthusiastic booing. But they sure love them some Chris Paul.

We are talking about a sign and trade to get the mavs something back. There are few options for that. I think the chances are:

2% re-signs with the Mavs
3% sign and trade
80% signs with the lakers on some kind of strange structured contract
5% signs somewhere else (probably Suns)
10% retires/takes year off

For all of kyries batshit crazy stuff show me one time he didn't take every cent possible. He's not signing for less than the max unless he has no other options. That's what his trade demand was about in Brooklyn. It's what his apology was about. It's what he is about.

We have fairly good seats and at one point, Durant was going back and forth with a guy who had a neck tat.  My wife said “You’re Kevin Durant and you’re arguing with a guy from Oklahoma with a neck tat.”

Yup. The absolute worst thing that could happen to Dallas would be offering him a team friendly deal and then having him accept it because he doesn't have any better offers. Then you've got the version of Kyrie that feels slighted playing for less than he's worth, while reminding you constantly what a huge favor he's giving the organization by playing for "scraps."

Wasn't Cleveland giving LeBron standing ovations by like year 3 in Miami? Or am I misremembering/underestimating their pettiness?

He is turning into a hell of a player, for sure.

Right.  It's been a long ass time and it's not like Westbrook is w/o flaws.

Melo got booed in Denver up until he retired.  And I'm just fine with that.

I actually think Durant would have come back to OKC this last time for the redemption story but only if they would have been contenders.  

Good answer here:

Mavs have like a 75% chance of keeping their draft pick now at least. Was hoping the Jazz would pass them too. 

PJ Tucker killing the Celtics.  Made 3 straight 3s in the 4th to close the game out.

PHO clinches the 4 spot. 

I think Embiid won the MVP last night. 52 on 20/25 when your team only goes for 103 is just fucking disgusting. Probably the best game of the season. 

Clippers Lakers and Warriors seemingly going to battle it out to see who gets to play Phoenix in Round 1. That 6 seed and the Kings is looking really appealing. LA v LA tonight.

Haha. Phoenix and Denver or Memphis and Sacramento? Teams are gonna be jostling for that 6/7

Yeah that 5 seed is probably death. The problem is 7 drops you into the play in. 6 is definitely the money spot.

The 7/8 playin game is gonna be the most intense, try hard, no room for error game in nba history

Would you take prime, uninjured Joel over David Robinson in his prime?

In the modern game? Without hesitation. In the 90s game, yes, but I'd think about it.

Damn shame that GSW and Phoenix will square off in round 1.

Yes. But Embiid seems to break down physically in the playoffs all the time.

Maybe, but maybe not. Both LA teams own the tie-breaker against GSW, I believe. Lakers play the Clippers tonight. If whoever wins tonight wins out, they get the 5 seed.

 

Suns/Lakers R1 might get the best ratings of any round of the playoffs.

Unpopular opinion but if fully healthy, Phoenix beats GS.

Phoenix would be close to a -200 favorite.

I think that's pretty much consensus. Golden State needs a couple weeks to get Wiggins reacclimated and try to remember how to play some semblance of defense. Facing Kevin fucking Durant isn't exactly easing them into the playoffs.

As great as Sacramento has been, I think everyone is still skeptical.

He's 20-1 in his last 21.

Watched Durant in person on Sunday.  He's just a few games off an injury but just went to shit spot and shot.  35 points and OKC did a great job defending him.  It's just impossible.

Speaking of that game, the wife (no pics) doesn't know anything about the NBA but when I told her Devin Booker was/is dating a Kardashian, she later went down the wormhole of players they had been with.  She surprisingly declared that Booker was the only one to escape the Blake Hole of Kardashians.
