    With KD's contract coming to an end next year, they had to fire Brooks. I suppose you can make an argument that it's not his fault KD was out most of the year and Westbrook missed some time but something had to give. If OKC can't get a coach that will put them in a position to win KD is out next year and Russ is out when his contract is up. If they can get Thibs OKC wlll be fine. Maybe Billy Donovan? Although I don't think he would leave Florida.

    Thibs doesn't get along with the front office. I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed in Chicago but if he does leave OKC is gonna gun for him because they need to convince KD to stay. And it starts with the coaching staff.

    Rondo out indefinitely with "back injury" lol, riiiiiiight...

    I remember telling ppl that Rondo was no longer a top 10 PG after the C's traded him and someone gave me s--- for it, think it was @Dew.

    Give me Isaiah Thomas' 3 years 20 mill over w/e someone dumb gives Rondo this Summer.

    When asked Wednesday if he expects Rondo, who is a free agent this summer, to be in a Mavericks uniform next season, coach Rick Carlisle replied: "No, I don't."

    lol

    I remember when "cp3, Rondo or Rose" was an actual argument lmao. I'm assuming he goes to LA, but I'd imagine that being an even worse fit for him. Kobe wants him bad, but they would have such clashing play styles/egos/personalities, I can tell you right now it would not work out. I imagine Rondo bouncing from team to team for the rest of his career until nobody really wants him, which I'm sure is how a lot of teams are feeling right now after watching that catastrophe of a run with the Mavs. What a shame. Such a fun, crafty dude to watch play. Dude used to s--- on squads during the playoffs.

    Don't understand the Brooks situation. I don't know if they're trying to blow everything up anticipating a Durant departure come summer or what. Not a good move. Great coach.

    I dont think it would be that crazy if Rondo just went and played in like China or Europe or some s--- next year.

    The blazers just don t have it. Lilliard struggled. They need Matthews

    Blazers chances to go anywhere (or realistically even win a series against someone other than Houston or Dallas) ended when Wes went down. Memphis is simply a much better team, Portland may take a game at home but that's about it. A sweep wouldn't surprise me either.

    Hopefully the Spurs win tonight.

    Yeah I agree with everyone saying that the Blazers are done for... But I'm hoping for a Clips win! (I think they'll get it) I'm afraid K-Leonard will bring it tonight tho... Something is telling me he'll have a big game.

    Watching the Clippers s---t 20 FT's in that quarter with that Hack-A-Jordan going on for like 5 mins straight makes me question how its even possible that the Lakers shot 21 FT's in the 4th quarter of the 7th game of the 2010 finals, when none of the fouls were intentional.

    Meh when teams become irrelevant i tend to stop caring about them. Used to really hate the Magic, then Howard and SVG left.

    Kawhi Leonard wins DPOY. Pretty good choice. I woulda been fine with giving it to Draymond Green too. He had more first place votes than Leonard... My boy Hassan Whiteside got a 3rd place vote!

    I hope the C's can get todays game. ... They have been playing okay... but we need a perfect game to take one from the Cavs.

    Its so hard to see your young squad make little mistakes that could be the game changer.

    1st round is garbage other than Spurs/Clippers, NBA should really just get rid of a few teams. They could use more competition.
