It says how great a player is when teams have to change their entire game plan and defensive set up to account for just him. It’s like the “Jordan rules” for the Bad Boys or what Mourinho tried doing against Messi on numerous occasions and was successful only in the Inter Milan CL final.

Kudos to him.

This Magic story’s nuts. So much a reminder of the challenges Buss the younger has had of late. Can’t even get amsome mid season trades around the king done discretely and quickly. And now inadvertently copying Magic on performance discussions related to him. Tsk.

Jeanie Buss doesn't appear to be a capable leader at the moment with all the dysfunction going on.

I had hoped that they could hire someone of prominence quickly to be the President of Basketball Operations and fire the General Manager Rob Pelinka (who has a negative reputation around the league due to being a former agent and screwing teams over), but that isn't happening. Jeanie likes her "yes-people" around her. There is someone named Linda Rambis (wife of mediocre former NBA coach/Laker Kurt Rambis) who is her whisperer about basketball decisions. This person is traveling with the front office to interview with potential coaches like Monty Williams!

It would've been much better if they had allowed someone from the outside instead of being the Laker family run the show.

Despite all this mess, it only takes one major signing to turn things around.

Are you now reconsidering your previous mocking of Magic doing what he did as, for me, his reaction was restrained.
e: Not blaming you, personally, as you couldn't possibly have known everything!

I still think the way he quit was unprofessional. We wouldn't just quit our jobs by going out to the media to declare that we are quitting without telling your boss beforehand.

His performance was also an issue for me. He took jabs at players like D'Angelo Russell when he was traded to Nets saying that he wanted a leader and had a grand idea of putting playmakers with Lebron instead of shooters.

if they were talking shit about me behind my back and i could put them on blast publicy, hell yes i would quit that way.

Kawhi Leonard heart

Why didn't the Spurs foul at the end? 😆 goodbye!!!

Now the playoffs really begin. Western semis. Who do you guys have for Rockets Warriors?

yeah if kawhi and siakam shoot 80% from the field on high volume, the sixers wont win a game in this series

Horford just absolutely beasted Giannis today in Game 1 of the ECSMs. It's unfair we're not talking about this man as an all star despite clearly besting Embiid and to a lesser extent Giannis over the season. A scintillating victory that's got me quite aroused.

21 gimme free throws in that game. Joel went soft and got a helping hand from refs 🙂

time for the rockets to go ankle hunting on steph and klay. the league just gave them the green light. don't bitch and whine, get even.

mdgoonah41

well, that was better.

defensive intensity ratcheted up about 8 notches, butler made a bunch of huge shots, and we won despite embiid looking like a ghost out there.

home court advantage, stolen. lets go

Love these playoffs. Every series is super exciting.

HomeSteak

I used to like CP3, by my god the man's a prick. A sore loser, you would think by now he would be used to losing.
I don't like GSW but I want them to beat the Rockets just to see CP and Harden cry about it

Rex

I happen to really like watching the Warriors. One of the best teams ever assembled, possibly THE best. They also happen to play fantastic basketball. Having said that, I feel for the Rockets. In game 1 the refs screwed up at least 3 calls on Harden. They for some reason reffed the game differently than they have been doing all season, and it is NOT cool to repeatedly land in the shooter's landing area. Because it is dangerous. And then in game 2 the unfortunate injury to Harden, which clearly affected him.
I want the Warriors to beat the Rockets, but not like this! I would like to see both teams at their best.

mdgoonah41

well tonight is probably the biggest game the sixers have played, all things considered, in about 17 years. no pressure
