No value at +120. The -140 on the Heat is the better bet, value-wise. oh well, I guess my feelings on the series outcome is universal. It's still kind of a toss up.

Celtics currently blowing this game. Stupid turnovers. Dumb fouls. And Tatum gets a tech in crunch time.

The on/off thing with Smart and Derrick White seems futile. Bringing in Smart to try to stop or slow down Trae? No one's stopping dude when he's hitting shots from the logo. Gotta recognize when you're in a shootout and keep your shooters in the game.

Marcus Smart hurt him down the stretch more than anyone. 2 turnovers and a dumb foul at half court when they were in the penalty.

Trae Young also didn't play all that well either. His shot selection still sucks even after being in the league for 5-6 years. He booked the game winner but he'd missed that same shot 3 times prior in crunch time when they could have gotten better shots.

Minnesota-Denver good game too!

That Anthony Edwards shifty layup over Jokic.

Westbrook pissed that one away for the Clippers.

Kawhi pissed the whole series away.

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are primary reasons that the whole free up "cap space" and sign a free agent thing is such a waste of time. So is Durant and Kyrie Irving too. You gut your roster in order to free up money to sign "max guys" and then once they get injured your whole season is screwed because the replacement guys are usually fringe NBA players at best. And the only reason that the Clippers were able to keep it as competitive as they were these last 3 games is because their "fringe" players were better than the avg fringe player due to the deep pockets of the owner. 3-4 years and nothing to show for it but first round flameouts and a bunch of injuries. Same with the Nets.
That's why I don't blame Reinsdorf and the Bulls for not doing it "this way". This way usually doesn't work and once it fails you have nothing to show for it but old injuries and draft picks rhat were traded somewhere else as part of free agent signings masked as "sign and trades".

Kawhi is probable for Game 6.

GO BEARS!!!

Trae's assists won the game, his shot selection should have lost the game. You can't win with him taking 33 shots. Rumor is Hawks won, but I refuse to believe it.

It's fine. I want him to be able to go to meetings.

It worked for Toronto, It worked for Lakers*. GS did it through the draft. There's no precedent for the Bulls way. Now if the Bulls' way was to get a bunch of shooters? Maybe, but they didn't.

No Toronto was able to trade for Kawhi because they had an All Star player whom they drafted. No one counts the Lakers winning in the bubble and they really haven't done shit since LeBron signed on 4-5 years ago.

And there are plenty of "precedents" The Bulls way. The overwhelming number of championships in the NBA have been won by teams in which the best player was drafted and not signed as a free agent. And it ain't even close.

I have seen absolutely nothing to suggest that he isn't.

yep, definitely don't want Trae shooting. Dumbass.

Trae Young...who cares, lol. Overrated

Two adjustments and he's a top ten player. He won't do it. He's 33% from 3 and he doesn't even try on the other end. It's 4 on 5 at that end. The most hustle you'll see from him is running up to take the inbounds ball after a made basket.

Last night reminded me why Trae sucks and will never be a winning player.

oh shut up with this nonsense. Just admit you haven't watched him play since they changed coaches and be done with it. You're as misinformed as that other idiot who I have on ignore.

Is Shakes that dense or self important that he really believes that I give a shit that he has me on ignore? Just Asking A Question. The mere fact that it took this dope (and a seemingly a few others) an entire year to get back on the bus tells you all you need to know about what they think regarding the "great" Trae Young. Each and everyone of them were in the Witness Protection Program ever since the Miami Heat exposed that fraud during last year's playoffs.

_________________

Yep. He isn't even the best guard on his own damn team. Wasn't the best player in the game last night either and the immortal Derrick White (the guy Pops selected over him) has actually been getting up with him this series.

His feigned outrage is endearing.

Surprised Snyder took the Hawks job, he had to figure there were other, possibly better opportunities gonna open up this Summer...but $$$$ and maybe Snyder likes the challenge:

doing it vs the consensus pick to win the NBA title and doing it without much help. It's all about the playoffs!
