I don't have the volume on, can anyone tell me if the road team has ever won 6 games in a series

it has never happened per the tv people

That woj tweet seems like a bunch of names pulled from a hat. if there is a theme there, it's total confusion about which direction to turn.

i think those sorts of floats are usually nonsense, but that does not mean the franchise does have a genuine sense of what's next

yeah i wouldn't worry too much about the specific names in the early new coach tweets

my yikes was def geared more towards "that's what's out there, huh? not great!"

Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard tells @YahooSports his preference to be the next head coach of the franchise is Jason Kidd: “[He’s] the guy I want.” https://t.co/xzeI7lf3vn

nooooo

Dame obv wants a guy who'll come in, fire up the players, demand their best every night, start strong from day one, wear out his welcome in 1.5 seasons and be cordially hated by the team, fans and front office by the time he collects his severance.

yikes!

wait I just remembered the time Kidd spilled a soda to get a free timeout or something, I’m on the train

that ruled

stotts is going to be rolling in schadenfreude next season

kidd and dame both oakland point guards

If dame wants Kidd you kind of have to do it. Also no offense to anyone involved but you just have to trade nurkic. Like I’m imagining Kidd and Nurkic and I see bad outcomes.

every trade machine post slightly curses the team getting the better end of the deal

what no one told me

just make sure they're truly balanced before you post them and you'll cause no harm

i dont want to

As the Orlando Magic move into a full rebuilding process, coach Steve Clifford and the franchise have agreed together to a parting, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 5, 2021

mutual parting is the phrase of the moment apparently

Steve Clifford and the Orlando Magic have committed to a conscious uncoupling

They've agreed to disagree, sources say.

I actually like where the Magic are right now, it’s not an unpleasant rebuild imo

Bulls trade went great

good chance of getting a very good player in the draft

yeah the bulls trade was a heist. they could really use some lottery luck, if they get one of the top 3 guys in this draft to go with isaac and use the rest of their assets right they might actually have something

it’s funny they actually have a pretty decent recent draft history, i mean: oladipo, sabonis, gordon, isaac. they’ve just have a problem in terms of like... actually making a good team lol. including sabonis in the ibaka trade was a low key completely horrific move. the bamba pick really hurts given who went after him in that draft

Bamba was really good the second half of the season, after what was apparently a pretty tough battle with covid

yeah i’m not closing the door on him being useful but they could’ve had sexton, either bridges, SGA, MPJ etc. but it was a very john hammond pick taking the extremely long guy who can shoot (in theory anyway)

dipo and sabonis for ibaka is wild

with ibaka having one year left on his deal. presti must have been laughing hysterically after he finished that trade

yeah i’m not closing the door on him being useful but they could’ve had sexton, either bridges, SGA, MPJ etc. but it was a very john hammond pick taking the extremely long guy who can shoot (in theory anyway)

the kevin knox pick might go down as the worst in a long history of bad knicks picks

maybe not the worst player (tho he’s bad) but in terms of opportunity cost

can’t remember the last time i saw him play basketball

It was a great fit. His name, I mean.

he has a great name for sure

harden tweaked his hammy on the first play of the series

everyone plays like such psychos the first quarter of a big series

yikes

Nets’ James Harden is OUT for remainder of Game 1 vs. Bucks due to right hamstring injury.

gosh that’s such a shame

just realize wrong thread, apologies!

Kidd withdrawing from pdx coach consideration

theyre gonna give him the lakers job?

there’s been a *lot* of local talk about his domestic violence history and whether that’s something the fans can stomach, probably not something he wants becoming a national conversation

Tom Thibodeau has won this year's Coach of the Year award. He's being given it before Nets-Bucks on TNT.
