    Unfortunately, given the challenge people have of not having ESPN dictate them, it would be. And it'd be nauseating.

    Hole on, they're having Davis guard Hardon, and Westbrook guard KD?

    That makes literally no sense.

    Looks like they were going for the old-teammates match-ups wherever possible.

    It should be a match-up of team training and medical staffs, because half those guys would be injured by midway through Game 1 of a Finals series, if not before then.

    I thought they had 16 players before, this makes it up to 17, no?

    also was picked by a different GM. Just funny to see this from Minny and Neil holding onto the guys he picked even in the second round like grim death (Letting Collins walk must have been painful for him).

    Kind of wonder if they know more about the injury Zach has, because he is a player that certainly has a valid role in the modern nba

    We shouldn't have let Collins walk, at least sign and trade him

    That’s unfortunate as a basketball fan. You’d be missing out on a classic. Just guessing that series would have the most future Hall of Farmers in it since the old Laker/Celtic/76 battles.
    This finals would have more future hall of farmers and superstars. I have a feeling more would tune into this one. But all those numbers you posted are pretty impressive.

    I remember being a kid and absolutely hating the Larry Bird era Celtics! With a passion. Now I really wish I had taken more time to watch and appreciate how amazing they were.

    not even getting a trade exception for a guy you spent 3 first round picks on in a loaded draft is grounds for firing on its own.

    Eh. Once I see a future hall of famer play once in any capacity... im good. I can say I watched them. Beyond that I'm not gonna carve out my day just to watch them. The blazers, the team I root for? Sure. I'll try to carve out time. For future hall of famers? Eh, if it's in passing I might watch for until the next commercial break, maybe.
