No team should ever count on non-lottery 1st rounders on their team for at least 3 years and even if they make it at all. The lack of picks won’t have any impact on their team for a few years at least. The Wild took a big step forward this year. They will have another shot at it next year. If things don’t turn out how they want, they will be able to trade Hughes at the deadline for a big haul. Honestly; I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a playoff with two teams that look so dominant. It’s like nobody else has a chance. Can’t fault Minnesota for losing to that wagon. (Watch both lose in the conference finals now that I said that 😆)

The final play was close to being an even bigger catastrophe. Ausar touched it last and if he had just a little more momentum, the ball goes out of bounds with a second left to Cleveland. Can you imagine if that no call led to the Cavs getting another chance? You’ve got to make that call even with .5 left.

Criminal to play Caris that much when he was 2-7 and 0-3 on 3’a all wide open. Not sure why Javonte got a DNP-CD.

One positive is that clownshow finally figured out to sit Duren and play Paul Reed. He kept Reed in and didn’t go back to Duren down the stretch and into OT.

That’s 100% Harden kicking out but he does that on every play and they let him.

4 min to go in the 3rd in a tight game and clownshow has a lineup of Daniss, Sasser, Caris, Duren and Green.

You got what I was saying. Whoever they choose as the goalie of the future, we won’t know the results for a number of years. I think it’s probably a good idea to give one of the kids a legit shot next year.

NHL goalie is so random that it’s almost impossible to predict future success. Other than a few exceptions, there’s very little rhyme or reason to it. Even a season or two in the league whether good or bad doesn’t mean that much in what a most guys do from one season to the next.

I am the same. Fortunately, until Cleveland can win a road game in the playoffs, they are the decided underdog to win this series.

I’ll take it one further and say this is what happens when you elect the greatest con man who ever lived and let him run the biggest grift he’s ever done.

Baseball is Hard. 2025 AL MVP Runner Up Cal Raleigh is on an 0-36 streak and is currently batting .157. Chris Davis .168 in 2018 is the worst full season average in history. 2025 NL MVP Shohei Ohtani is on a 4-34 bender with a double as his only XBH the last 10 games.

I’m not sure if the Mets have played a single game with their preferred starting lineup. Soto, Lindor, Robert, and Polanco have all missed significant time already.

Hahahaha. It’s JB Bickerstaff. Duren is starting like this game never happened. The only question is if Stew is still the first big off the bench before Reed.

Cade needs to put this team on his back in game 5. 40 points and less than 5 TO.

Omg Duren

Reed will be subbed out for Duren for the last 5 minutes of the game. Next game will begin like this one never happened with JD playing most of the minutes and Reed riding pine behind him and Stew.

Duncan can’t be on the floor if he’s not shooting. No reason to play a defensive liability that doesn’t help you anywhere on the floor.

This team is missing a super strong, all nba level on-ball defender. They’d be really tough to beat if they had someone like that to play 33 minutes including most of the 4th. I know those guys are hard to find but it would make such a difference.

Ron Holland’s nickname should be The Mason

Cleveland deserves to win this series based on being smart enough to fire JB despite his stellar regular season record. They knew what we are finding out now.

Praying for Duren foul trouble as it’s the only way to get JB to put him on the bench.

It’s such a waste. This team could easily be the East champion with a competent coach making decisions on rotations and playing time.

The NBA may elect to suspend Reid for needlessly putting his face in the way of Wemby’s elbow in a non basketball manner.

He’s the lucky Pierre tonight.
