    ^Dont take too much from Kon, hes BFF's with Trent the Pedophile. Matches up with his love for Kobe the r--ist.

    Anyways C's need to be healthy and clicking on all cylinders for them to compete with a team like the Hawks(not that they are great or anything). Bradley and Olynyk are our 2 best shooters and both are out(Olynyk still hasnt been the same since Deandre Jordan wrecked him) and Crowder clearly isnt the same guy since coming back from the high ankle sprain.

    Will go out on a limb and say they will have a better record than the Bulls next year.

    Great hire. I called this last month when I saw him sitting with Tayshaun Prince and KAT at the NCAA Tournament in Des Moines. I'm curious as to see how he'll do as president too, but as a coach, they made the right hire. I'd be willing to bet they make the playoffs next season now. Thibs has a history of getting a lot out of his teams.

    Oh they will def be in the playoffs. Good thing is the Bulls don't have to pay him anymore, might as well fire Fred now.

    I'd give Fred one more year. Injuries hurt them big time this year, but he was still pretty awful. Idk how patient the GM is, but I could definitely see him not make it to the All-Star break next season.

    Our GM (Gar) loves Fred. He's an ISU alum and I'm pretty sure their homes in Iowa are close. This was in the works last year, which is big part of why the whole organization feels so broken. Thibs was a dead man walking last year. Everyone knew if he didn't make a deep run he was gone.

    Sure we dealt with injuries this year, but you have D Rose, Jimmy Butler, and Pau Gasol for at least 65 games. An average NBA could get them in the playoffs. His rotations have been confusing as h---, late game decision making questionable to say the least, and is basically a zombie on the bench the entire game. He brought nothing to the table this year. 0.

    On a side note, KD should heavily consider Minnesota. Wiggins, Towns, and KD would be a great core for years to come.

    Happy for the state of Minnesota, they deserve this. Wolves should be a championship contender within a few years if all goes right.

    Clippers are 7-0 since Blake Griffin's return... Anyone think they have a shot at beating the Warriors? I have a feeling they could win a few games.

    If Steph gets hurt again maybe. I'd take Warriors in 6, possibly 7.

    Clippers are playing the Blazers and CP3 always frustrates Lillard and defends him better than anyone else, this isn't a surprise to me although I still think Portland at least has a chance to steal a game, they're a different team at home.

    Next round vs. the Warriors will be real interesting, both teams hate each other. I could see it being a tough series, but really doubt the Clippers win it.

    Yeah I pretty much feel like this. CP3 vs. Curry is always hype af. CP3 was the guy Curry was always trying to get better than, and he's finally proving it. CP3's competitiveness will be at an all time high.

    I've known @Kon since 04. One of the first people I talked to on RB. He gets a pass.

    Bet there's a lot of physical play and probably a couple scuffles and/or fights in that series too, it's gonna be crazy.

    i was watching warriors vs rockets last night but the game kept cutting in and out. in other words, technical difficulties. i think it was my cable provider, as i doubt other people were having the same issue.

    it was cool to see the rockets win, as i just want to see a good series. but i don't understand how a team with harden and howard can underachieve so much. these guys aren't old. dwight howard only scores 13 pts in a playoff game lol. and i'm not picking on him because everyone has bad nights--the thing with howard is he has too many games where he doesn't show up offensively and for a guy of his talent--there's no excuse

    WHAT HAPPENED THE ORLANDO MAGIC DWIGHT HOWARD??
