Around the NBA Playoffs - Round Two

And they look as foolish now as do the Mirotic dismissers. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Mirotic fan boy. I barely knew his name let alone his game before this year. I just think it's remarkable how dramatic of an effect he had in returning to Chicago's lineup and in bolstering New Orlean's dead-in-the-water playoff chances, and how someone whose rap is of a bad teammate can produce like the ultimate teammate.

Chicago was the hottest team in the league after Mirotic returned to the lineup. I'd say his teammates backed the wrong pony, or should I say, the dark horse. Time will tell if he becomes a bad apple in New Orleans...

 

Mirotic is good player, but he's a fucking cunt. I known him from years back and playing in Europe. Rondo type of bitch.

 

If I’m being honest I wouldn’t mind seeing more Blazers like that. Being all nice and respectful is great, but having those guys who are just irritating and annoying is an important ingredient for most successful teams.

 

AD is really fun to watch isn't he?

 

I can believe this simply because of the whole punch thing, and the fact that they kept the puncher and traded the punchee for nothing, even though he was by far their best player at the time.

 

...except when it's the important ingredient for tearing a team apart (see Bulls, Chicago).

 

They've given up what got them their winning streak. It's shocking how useless Ben Simmons is being - he just brings the ball up the court, stops, gives it to someone else and then goes and stands in a corner.

 

You have to have big personalities that can keep your Draymonds in check.

 

Jesus Christ, when are the Warriors going to be over? I’m so tired of watching them dominate whenever they want. So corny.

 

wow these refs must have money on Harden FT attempts and Houston...

 

I hate the NBA rules for fouls, it should be the one who initiates the contact. Instead it’s Lets watch Harden charge into the lane hold the guy off with one arm and get ft’s Because the guy didn’t just move out of the way completely...

 

Where did the Jazz get Royce O'Neal? How did they end up with TWO starter-quality rookies?

 

Senior role player at Baylor. Went undrafted and played a couple years overseas. Nice jack of all trades bench / spot starter wing though.

Dennis Lindsey has a great eye for talent.

 

I am having a hard time watching the Jazz rockets game. Houston seems to be getting away with whatever they want.

 

Good drafting. Utah is a great story as they lose Hayward and make the 2nd round the very next season.

 

Mitchell is so good. Love this kid's fire.

 

I don't think he's all that good
