Only eastern conference series with multiple games on NBA TV features the defending champions... the disrespect!

If the Raptors somehow make it back to the Finals, without Kawhi Leonard, that would be an even bigger indictment of DeMar DeRozan than actually winning the championship was.

He was wearing the white Nets shirt the other staff do which led me to believe that he may be part of the staff and not a player but I could be wrong

I think the ultimate irony of the recent NBA is that the Sixers now really need a young guard like Markelle Fultz on their roster and he is being productive for the Magic instead while their best guard is Shake Milton.

Or, even more ironically, the guy they could really use is Jrue Holiday.

The Magic starting out strong against the Bucks. Also Vucevic would have looked nice in a Kings uniform but I guess Vlade really really took the whole not showing favoritism to people from the former Yugoslavian bloc thing to heart.

Make this argument once Luka starts giving a damn on defense.
Yeah, that’s crazy talk. Giannis is clearly the better all around player.

#77 is superior offensively, specifically as a playmaker. But Giannis, despite his inability to hit 3’s, is an elite scorer that can also handle and do other things. And his elite ability on the defensive end and in transition makes him arguably the top 2-way player in the league today.

There’s been chatter about him ending up with the Warriors. If that ever happens, it’s all over. Add Giannis with that type of perimeter shooting and a fellow elite defender and it won’t be fair.

If Giannis stays in Milwaukee (which I hope he does), they need to add some more perimeter help. Someone like Joe Harris would be ideal IMO.

I still believe MIL will win this series, but they do need some more shooters.

I was just going to post the same thing.

Remember all those dismissing Vucevic? He sure looked great today and performed well all season. Really wish the KINGS could have landed him.
