Jim Rome said it best recently. "The only team in the NBA that doesn't know Minnesota HAS to trade Butler is Minnesota."

I remember I got slammed for saying Luka Doncic would be a good choice with DeAndre Ayton for the #1 draft pick. I think Luka is going to be rookie of the year, let alone a member of the all-star team. To be fair he isn't really a rookie. He player Euro ball with Real Madrid for 4 years before entering the NBA draft, and Ayton is much younger, and will continue developing.

Wow. I love the NBA payoffs when team levels of give a damn rise such that there's defense in the game.

Curry, in the last few possessions of regulation and then in OT misses three layups that were not spectacularly contested. Instead of going up 3-0, Dubs lose game 3 by 5.

Warriors will have two chances at home to advance, but without Durant.

Doubtful his injury even allows him to play a Game 7.

I root for Philly but I don't care. I'm proud I shared in that moment of greatness in human history. Watching it live, that ball bounced around the rim about 12-14 seconds. See the replay doesn't capture it at all.

Unbelievable game. And what an ending.

Philly has to make a decision with Simmons. Unless Simmons somehow gets a jump shot, Philly has no chance of getting out of the 2nd round. At least the last 4 minutes of the game, Ibaka was guarding Simmons and Butler was the lead ball handler! That should never happen if you are an elite PG.

I know there is a debate about Embiid vs Simmons long term. I believe Embiid was +90 and Simmons -16 vs the raptors for the series. That is shocking

Yeah. It also seemed like, as a team with a 6'10" point guard, Philly got beat on the glass at every critical moment in the fourth quarter.

I wonder if they’ll try to trade into the top 2.

Knicks have no trade value worthy pieces for Davis. Hopefully Durant and Kyrie/Kemba come during free agency.

I heard
1) that McConnell already has 1 decent offer from Chicago, and there are at least 2 more showing strong interest.
2) Philly badly wants to trade up, but haven't decided how high they can pitch what they think they can offer in order to have a shot at what they want.

For those who say they hate the NBA, this is a great finals to watch. The Warriors had 34 assists on 38 made shots last night and of course you have the Arizona connection including Iggy with the game ending dagger. Fun games ahead

Didn't realize Durant would still be out 3 games in and now Klay and even Iggy has been a little hobbled.

They better get them back by Game 4 or they are in deep kimchi.

Wow. Raptors had more steals than turnovers. Dubs had more turnovers than made 3s or made FTs.
