Jesus, if you're out there, will you please run Mark Jackson over in a car? It should be simple enough, he's often yelling at them in the street about you. Let us feel your divine power, sever his vocal chords somehow.

Waiters wants to play but Spo is keeping him out. Bron or No Bron I'm going in all hands on deck to insure the win. Even Haslem is getting burn if necessary.

Anyone else think Frank Ntilikina might end up being a gigantic steal for this draft? If Dallas gets him, and he could develop under Carlisle, I could see him becoming one of the better players from this draft

How are Heat fans even a thing

second whackest franchise after Knicks

Whiteside and Spo deserve better

I used to think Heat fans didn't really exist, but this season plus learning about their 90s rivalry with the Knicks showed me that they actually do care about the team

Also, if Jerry West seriously wants to stop being the logo, it's ok, because this season gave us a perfect replacement

Magic

Magic are basically the team that gets decent NBA players so that other GMs can trade to improve their teams. With the overall GM IQ going up, on average, the NBA needed at least one team that was flat-out perennially hopeless.

I think the Magic have the worst future of any team in the league, from their current standing

The Orlando Magic are the worst run team in the league

I had a theory that the Cavs are conceding first to avoid the Bulls in 8th, and by giving up 1st they wouldn't have to face them till conference finals assuming either of them made it that far.
Coincidentally, if it happened to be the Heat instead, same situation.

No team would give up home-field advantage to avoid playing a team that won 40 games

The Cavs have a bunch of old people on their team, and outside of their big three their depth is pretty garbage

I don't know, in that leaked summer plans photo the magic did have Deng on the board. Going after a player/contract of that caliber is a move only a top tier organization would consider.

Nets and Kings are in far worse situations.

Kings have a some young talent. Buddy, Skal, WCS, Papagiannis, etc. Nets have a GM that seems to have his head in place, they're playing well, and they also have some young talent, along with a coach that seems to slowly be implementing an actual system.

If all things stay the same, I could see the Nets rebounding in the future, the Kings maybe rebounding, and the Magic being stuck in the same place.

Magic are really fucking bad. What the fuck has been their plan the last few years? What a life to be that GM. Have no sense of direction and still make millions.

I have heard that their owner was super old and wanted to make the playoffs again, but they're still the epitome of a directionless team

You want a shot at the champ? [NG gif winner July 23]
I just realize the OKC connection on this year playoff.

Scott Brook - Washington Coach
James Harden - Houston Rockets
Russel Westbrook - OKC
Kevin Durant - GSW
Serge Ibaka - Toronto Raptors

Now would it be funny if this happen...

Scott Brook won coach Of the year (not happening)
James Harden won MVP
Russel Westbrook won Scoring Title
Kevin Durant won a Ring
Serge Ibaka won Defense Player of year (not happening)

I seriously hope Harden goes off tonight. He's on national TV, facing off against the Clippers, on the road, on a back to back. This game might determine MVP

Ah, I haven't heard a Heat broadcast in years. Hoping for a couple of good Kabooms.

So you figure that this isn't strategic and the Bulls sweep of the Cavs had nothing to do with Lebron not wanting to compete for 1st seed? So Barkley was right all along!?

Something similar might happen this year, imo. Westbrook getting more 1st place votes, but enough 1st place Kawhi 2nd place Harden votes to give Harden the MVP.

Are you kidding me man? After Lance comes back?

I think [Paul George is] staying. I don’t think he has any doubts about coming back. So I’m not worried about that. I got to start working [on keeping him]. I got to get all my guys and tie him up in a chair and be like ‘you can’t leave!’ You ain’t going nowhere, Paul George.
