Suns/Portland, Advidja!!!!! Wow........This kid really stepped up this year and 41 pts, 12 dimes and 7 rebs!
Good bench. Suns kind of suck. Im guessing they don't have their pick so they did not tank?

Predictions?

Knicks in 5 vs. Hawks. Sometimes suprises are to the upside. Hawks think Clev is better? Okey-dokey! Maybe they just think knicks are a better match up for them? I can respect that, but talk **** before? Well its on knicks to shut them up!
Hawks have nice back court going now and are fast, but knicks size could give them problems.
I do respect what Clev has done and a tandem of Harden/Donovan is some HOF **** right there. Up fron Allen/Mobley compares well to Mitch/KAT. Then they throw out shooters who get good looks becuase of it. After a rough start Clev might be better than its record? Same for us is suppose. Hope Raptors take them out! I don't see it though.

Off subject, why does Anthony Davis have a tv show? instead of whining about being disrsepcted in NOLA, LA, and Dallas, how about stay on the court or just retire with dignity if the body can't hold up!

BTW, his injuries are why a Giannis to knicks trade kind of worries me. This **** happens to very athletic players and when it does it gets ugly. I don't know if the last season was an anomoly or preview of things to come. At the same time KAT been wonderful and reliable as a knick. I think Mike Brown has dialed back his aggresive drives to the rim and he not falling as much. That has to help!

If true the regular season was the tune up/experiment for the playoffs well then let the games begin!!!!

East 4-5 seeds have the same April 18th-26th to get 4 games in.

But if we must, perhaps NBA for ratings purposes will skew the schedule. Money talks.
These networks ponied up big money for ratings.
THink Knicks are a bigger draw then Detroit?
The Pistons-CLT/Orlando series also has 4 games in 8 day spread. They start on the 19th.
I'll watch PIstons-what ever only it goes 7 games. Or if Pistons on brink of elimination by the underdog!
Personally I do want to see a healthy Luka/Lebron vs. Durant match up.

So lets do this as a litmus test. Give Deni a Khardasian after his wonderful season and I assume candidate for most improved.
Then see what happens?
Poor Lamar Odom and Kris Humphries! never knew what hit them.

At those numbers, he's a damn bust. What a disaster to pay someone that much when they haven't done squat

When you draft the # 1 and they are not great you need to trade them and cut your losses

Sunk Cost Theory says they should've moved on from him a while ago

I do not understand the role of the GM in a situation where most everyone can see a disaster in the making or a disaster situation in the making.

Giannias. Ja. JJJ traded a couple years too late. Trae. Embiid. Harden.

I really do not understand holding onto Ja, Giannis, Trae, MVP Embiid as long as their teams did. Makes zero sense. Especially in hindsight but these were readable situations.

Irony aside, extending a # 1 pick comes at a much higher price than a later pick, therefore you should move on rather than commit a max salary if the player is not close to worth that much.

You think they can move Paolo with that kind of salary? I doubt it, therefore their future is tied to him.

When we re-signed Randle he cost about half as much and that made him a movable asset.

If a player is not a movable asset you likely overpaid them.

They should probably waive him.
