I hope one of these teams that are down 3-1 or 3-2 can make a comeback and make history. As a Rockets fan, it won't be the Mavs though.

So happy we weren't swept

So is Kidd getting props for his first year coaching the Bucks? Hope they force a game 7!

He got 3rd in CotY voting. He deserves extra props for sure

the bulls biggest crime is allowing Milwaukee to be relevant. shameful

The east is just weak all around, especially with Love out. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if any of these teams came out of the east. And I laugh at those folks who said "Rose is back!" He had one big game and the rest were average to poor.

If anyone in the East had a shot it was the Cavs, and if Love is out then their spacing is totally fucked for the rest of the playoffs. I didn't see them taking out GSW or the Spurs even with KL but without him? Yeah, just give GSW the ring now, the East isn't going to pull this off.

finally a bucks fan appears!

I've been lurking around here. The board just moves slow

#Cavaliers GM says "highly unlikely" we'll see Kevin Love this playoffs.

Looks like Kevin Love is going to miss the rest of the playoffs.

Looks like Bronbron has his excuse now

Yeah just saw this, so how is no one calling Olynyk out?

 

[alr1ght]

Just watched last night's Inside...holy shit Shaq is a gigantic asshole. What happened was some guy made these super expensive pet beds for Chuck's dogs. Shaq then proceeds to kneel on one of them and the thing collapses.

The winningest rookie coach in NBA history finally won an award....for being nice to the media :lol

Golden State's Steve Kerr has won the Rudy Tomjanovich Award, given by the Professional Basketball Writers Association to a coach who best combines excellence on the court with cooperation with fans and media.

Kerr led the Warriors to an NBA-best 67-15 record in his first season. They swept New Orleans in the first round of the playoffs.

Calling him out for what? They were both wrestling with locked arms, it didn't look like foul play.

I don't usually do this but

Well Kevin Love already said Olynyk did it on purpose and I've seen some media people saying that also.

It looks like they were both being reckless! Kelly shouldn't have been so rough, but I don't think he was trying to hurt Kevin.

Fuck...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

See you in LA, Kevin.

Well that's not good


for them

 

[eBay Huckster]

I hope Cleveland still gets to the ECF, at least

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The Cavs-Bucks series will probably go 6. And then I guess Cavs and Wizards in the ECF.

 

[ampere]

Even with the injuries and suspensions I still say GSW v CC in the finals. But no one beats Golden State this year.

 

[Kacar]

Hard pressed to believe we can't beat the east still with LeBron and Kyrie.

The warriors, spurs and clippers though...

 

[SCChappy]

I think LeBron and Kyrie are still too much for the rest of the east to handle. No Kevin Love means there is practically no chance they actually win the Finals though.

-Q: What are your thoughts on the Rudy T Award?

-KERR: My thoughts on the Rudy T Award? Means I’m being way too nice to you guys. I’ve learned now, now I know. I’ve sort of set the bar way too high and I’m going to lower the bar and I’m going to start treating you guys like crap. (Laughs.)

-Q: But not ’til next year.

-KERR: Not ’til next year because I kind of have to honor the award

RIP Kevin. GL in LAL.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Love will be in Cleveland next year. Beyond that, who knows.

You guys should try to get a sign and trade going- Love for Randle.

 

[dream]

That might be too much to give up. I think Carlos Boozer for All Star Kevin Love and Matrix Marion might work.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Carlos Boozer: Perpetually underrated.

Spoiler

Blue Devil.

 

[Into]

Ainge: Hello? Kevin are you there?

Love: *click*



Not that he was gonna join anyway, he is going to Cali Cali to be a 40 win team with Rondo and Kobe.

what makes you so sure that love will go to LA?

Fucking Tony Brothers, man.

I don't understand how he has a job. He is the absolute worst NBA ref in the league.

[Dreams-Visions]

I'd love for Love to stay and hope he does. Some players just need a little longer to find their niche, I suppose. But...idunno. If he does leave, I hope his experience with the team and people in CLE was a positive one for him. He always talks about how much love and support the staff, team and city has shown him. I guess we'll see what that really means to him when it's time to sign on a dotted line.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I still don't understand how a closed fist punch to the face which knocks a guy out cold and causes him to end up spraining his knee in the resulting fall to the ground is only a 2 game suspension.

probably argued that he didn't see what he was swinging at.

lebrun is on his team. And Love is already out for the playoffs.

 

[GaimeGuy]

When trying to box out for a rebound (allegedly), who uses a closed fist and a broad, sweeping motion, with follow through, for spacing?

Lack of intent.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Kind of the point I'm making. He took a swing at a guy, connected with his head, knocked him out cold, and sprained his knee. It should be much worse than 2 games

He has a clean record so it was clearly an accident

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Kind of the point I'm making. He took a swing at a guy, connected with his head, knocked him out cold, and sprained his knee. It should be much worse than 2 games

but as has been said, it's impossible to prove that it was his intent. there's no way to prove he intended to hit the guy in the face at all, let alone put him on the ground. he wasn't even looking in the direction.

Don't make me bring out the tables

If they didn't do any backdoor dealings getting some sort of guarantee, the Cavs FO is even dumber than I thought. It sure seemed like something went down when they flipped all of the sudden on including Wiggins.

I thought he got KO'd too, but they said he showed no concussion symptoms.
