Really wanted that Blazers vs Suns series.

I'm pretty sure those Bucks bench players could have put in a better effort against Memphis  :doge

Any chance Dallas can pull off a first round upset? I don’t watch either team with much regularity.

Their defense sucks. The games might be decently close because offensively they are damn good but when it comes to the 4th quarter George and Paul will most likely put the lockdown on Luka and make somebody else beat them which isn't the best course.

edit: lol at George and Paul. Meant Leonard and Paul.

I like Gentry but am kind of ok with this, it never quite clicked. Gentry had some bad breaks sure, but it also always felt like he was trying to force things into a system that never really worked.

Would rather Lue over Kidd. Aside from assuming he has a good relationship with our GM, I think talent is there and it's just forming a plan around pieces we have. Lue has proven he is equipped for that, or at least has looked it. having one of the GOATs/another coach on the floor really helps with that.  :lol

Also have tons of picks next few years, good opportunity with more than likely a 5-6 year window. I can see Jrue being odd man out.  :'(

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard was unanimously voted the Most Valuable Player of the seeding games portion of the NBA's attempt to restart its season inside the NBA's bubble at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Lillard, who led all players in the bubble with an average of 37.6 points per game over the eight seeding games, carried Portland to a 6-2 record and the eighth seed in the league's first-ever play-in tournament, which the Blazers begin Saturday against the ninth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies.

Lillard, who also averaged 9.6 assists, scored 51, 61 and 42 points over Portland's final three games to carry the Blazers into the seeding games, and he clearly set himself above the field of contenders for top honors inside the bubble as a result.

He was followed in the voting by guard Devin Booker, who led the Phoenix Suns to a perfect 8-0 record inside the bubble, and Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren, who scored 53 points in his opening game against the Philadelphia 76ers and averaged 31 points over the eight seeding games.

Suns coach Monty Williams was the near unanimous choice for the league's top coach inside the bubble, with Portland's Terry Stotts getting the lone other first-place vote.

Lillard, Booker and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic each were unanimously named to the All-Bubble first team, while Houston Rockets guard James Harden and Warren each received 18 first-team votes to claim the other two spots.

The second team consisted of the NBA's reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard, Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis, Brooklyn Nets guard Caris LeVert and Denver Nuggets rookie Michael Porter Jr.

The eight seeding games did not count toward the NBA's traditional season-long awards. The winners of those honors will be announced by the NBA throughout the playoffs, which officially begin Monday.

You're not supposed to be worried as the 1st seed but this is one of those rare cases where portland does a ton of things the Lakers are awful at.

Pedja also out with the Kings, he was assistant GM. Luke Walton safe though.

From the Chicago media, seems Kenny Atkinson has the inside track on the Bulls job unless someone blows them away in interviews. They're not expected to talk to Lue/Kidd/etc. but some of the assistants around the league.

Nets are rumored to be preparing a massive offer of some kind to make to Pop almost just to see if he'll talk to them. Sean Marks does come from the Spurs system. But it seems more like Nets media fans acting like Knicks fans than actual rumor.
I like Gentry but am kind of ok with this, it never quite clicked. Gentry had some bad breaks sure, but it also always felt like he was trying to force things into a system that never really worked.

Would rather Lue over Kidd. Aside from assuming he has a good relationship with our GM
One rumor is D'Antoni, who is almost certainly leaving the Rockets unless they somehow win the title, who also has ties to Griffin, they worked together on Seven Seconds or Less. Zion in the center of a D'Antoni offense has to be intriguing to both sides.

I think Lue might imagine he's more like the missing part for a near contender. He passed on the Lakers because he couldn't be sure of their contending timeline.

The crazy thing is how many teams could have actually benefited with Carmelo even with his liabilities on defense. I would much rather have him than some of Lakers bench players. Like Jared Dudley.

Not a surprise what so ever. Lakers lose. Even if they win the series they are done as far as going anywhere in the playoffs. Sad.

The team has no shooting. Good game for Lebron but all for nothing.

Everyone acted like Melo's career was over after Rockets dropped him after 10 games as if he was the reason they were losing.

I hope we get 4 or 5, so we can be "stuck" with a pick like Ball, Wiseman, or Okoro. That way when it doesn't pan out, I can still talk shit like we had no other choice.
