    Gafford and PJ Washington were just great moves by the Dallas front office. You gotta have balls to make the trades man. Blazers just don’t ever pull the trigger man. It’s frustrating

    Even if it doesn’t work out. Keep making moves and get it right. Gafford, pJ Washington and Kyrie could all have ended up bad moves.

    considering combined big man rotation roles and salaries....

    have Gafford + Lively (17.1M) outplayed KAT + Gobert + Reid (90M)?

    Last stand for Pacers tonight. They've played hard nosed efficient basketball. Only game 2 was a convincing Celtics win. Games 1 & 3 were agro nail biters.

    Nobody wants sweeps. Extending the series is good for the league. Let's get some "refs U suck" going, and take both conference Finals to 6, maybe even 7 games.

    it's a shame ESPN doesn't have RJ commentating today's game. He has a ton of Bill Walton stories that he tells on his podcasts, after having been very close with Luke from his time at U of A.

    Hauser finally broke his 3 game shooting slump... then he got packed by Doug McDermott (0.1 bpg).

    Whoops

    Celtics fading, hyper-Indy ball gaining traction

    Brown clothesline on TJ, refs say quality playoff contact. No flagrant necessary

    poo poo Pacer choke fest. Maybe they can trade Siakam for draft picks? Rebuild around TJ McDoogle

    Celtics played that series like Code of Silence. 3 games overcoming insurmountable odds using leather boots, gritty fortitude, and a few spinning jump kicks.
