Luka pretty laid an egg in that game.  He looks bad.  7 turnovers was generous from the official scorer.

Nuggets Minny is going to 7 with the Nuggets prolly pulling it out. Just my thoughts. What a series though. Wish these teams were the final 4 or even 2 teams. Fun watch.

My hope for this playoffs is that whoever wins this series sweeps the conference and nba finals.

Finally the eggsperts forced to report the truth.

So, the issue with playing a non shooter drop big is rearing its head in the Nuggets/Timberwolves series.   I’m seeing calls for benching Rudy for Naz since Naz can shoot.  
 

When looking at team building philosophy, you need to realize that this style of center will soon be completely phased out in the NBA.  You have to be able to shoot and guard on the perimeter.  
 

This is what ultimately hurt those Utah teams Rudy was in as well.

As soon as Cavs get eliminated, here comes all the stories:

Multiple league sources have said, for months, that Mitchell did not have great confidence in Bickerstaff, and he was not alone. Several players questioned Bickerstaff’s strategies, game management, practice habits and accountability measures, privately and publicly, throughout the season.

 

– via New York Times

 JB Bickerstaff, Donovan Mitchell, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers

 

 

Bickerstaff’s usage of Mitchell, league sources said, was a reason Mitchell provided when declining an invitation to play for USA Basketball last summer at the FIBA World Cup — a refusal that went a long way toward his exclusion from the Olympic team.

Evan Mobley agency told Cavaliers not to draft him?

 

Interestingly, Mobley’s representation, Wasserman, cautioned the Cavs prior to the 2021 draft not to select Mobley, league sources said.

I heard Caris Levert kicks people in the shins on the way to check into games.  He fake apologizes but he's really laughin' inside .... per sources.

Oh dang, I totally misread this.  So Garland gonna ask to be traded if Mitchell re-signs?

I thought it was saying Mitchell would ask them to ship Garland out as a condition of him re-signing..... wait, that actually sounds worse.

Ah well, either way, suck it cLEAVEland.
