NBA 2019-2020 Season

[gunnar hendershow]

This postseason has taught me to not count out this Heat team. Lakers beat the Nuggets in 5 but it was honestly one of the closer 5 game series I can remember. Could have easily swung the other way. Miami has torn through the East and hasn't really been challenged.

It might be a classic Finals.

Doc Rivers is out as head coach of the Clippers.

Wow, kinda surprised. Extremely curious who they bring in to replace him.

Mike D'Antoni left the Rockets cause Kawhi got in his ear after recognizing they were about to be eliminated. Prove me wrong!

Yes, let's go from one coach who can't win in the playoffs, to another coach who can't win in the playoffs!

That didn't stop the Clippers from getting Paul George right?

Crazy how he didn't end up playing in China or somewhere overseas with the capable talent he had in the NBA. I know he was battling some mental issues a few months back but thought he got help with it since. Now it looks like Doc Rivers and others are going to try and help rehabilitate him now, but it's a shame how far he's fallen.

Story came out yesterday that Mark Cuban picked up West at a gas station in Texas, put him up in a hotel, and is offering to pay for West to go to rehab.

WELL... That was rough. Need to shore up defense hard and hope that Dragic and Bam are good to keep running.

Lakers in 4. Sorry Heat fans or anybody that thought this was going to be a good series.

[livid]

Well that didn't take long..

[gunnar hendershow]

Well I guess if you're a Sixers fan at least it's not D'Antoni?

[Pooker]

Hahahahahahaha.

Who does Doc Rivers have blackmail on?

Oh cool, a team that never reaches the Finals has hired a coach that never reaches the Finals.

[Pooker]

He's won the Finals before? He just needed 3 Hall of Famers and perfect timing to do it.

Jimmy Butler is pretty good at basketball.

And hasn't been able to get past the conference semi-finals since the Celtics lost in the Finals a couple of seasons later. Overall he has more first round eliminations than semi-finals ones. 

Sadly, he'll probably end up in the Hall of Fame, but it'll be due that one championship and his W/L record. I doubt he'll ever win another championship unless he's handed a stacked team.

The Big 3 Celtics are the most overrated team ever. They won one title against an injured and basically brand new Laker team (Pau was added at the trade deadline and Bynum was hurt), then couldn't even get back the next year. THEN when they do get back they get beat by the Lakers, but, since they're Boston's only title since the NES came out or whatever they get hyped as a dynasty or whatever.

[Pooker]

It was an amazing run by them that year. But I caulk it up to how good PP, KG, and Allen were able to mesh that year and lucky that they ran into a Lakers team that hadn't gelled yet. Rivers just happened to be there coach, that's it.

But, now, let's talk about how stupid Skip Bayless is for saying that winning the title this year puts a damper on Lebron's legacy. Moron.
