    For sure. I’m rooting for Luka as far as he can take them. If he loses I’ll be rooting for the Celtics and any team facing the Fakers.

    I think LeBron was just recruiting CJ and Melo.

    Refs take issue with you calling them scrubs.

    Good effort by the guys. The young guys show me with a little bit experience might become good role players. Whiteside I rather not see next year. Mario got player option so he has his own control to play next year.

    Nice way for CJ and Melo to show their value in this league. I was happy to see the team compete but the Lakers had this one whenever they wanted to put their foot down on the gas. We might have caused them some problems if Ariza would have come to the bubble or at least not totally opted out, if Zach had stayed healthy and if Dame were healthy but that wasn't the case. Good playoff experience for Gary and Nurk who have really bright futures as Blazers.

    The only way the season starts in 3 months is if they continue it in the bubble. There's no way they can have a normal season next year, esp in 3 months time.

    Great season besides with all the injuries. Now let’s get some wing players who can defend and shoot. Upgrade the bench including a PG that will give Dame some rest.
