Upon rewatch, Orlando blows it up this off-season. Game 6 collapse started when Cain got hurt up 19. Da Silva and Black got buckets, but majority of collapse had Banchero/Bane/Suggs/Carter Jr. on court. Stars came up small.

@ohmafps @TheMugNHL Not the entire team, but Karlsson played horribly in front of him. Dude looked like a traffic cone.

@TheMugNHL Skinner was good for us too, such a shame the nights he played in the playoffs, our entire team in front of him forget everything they knew about hockey

Stuart Skinner isn’t expected to return to the Pittsburgh Penguins next season. Per, David Pagnotta.

I'm beginning to think that NBA head coaches should be forced to wait a year before getting another HC job in the NBA. Seeing Billy Donovan getting this type of heat after struggling in Chicago is crazy.

@ReviewLightning That's playoff hockey. Andrei and Hagel were MVP level. Just a great series.

Breaking silence to observe that we just had a seven game playoff series that did not include a single minute of garbage time. It was red-lined from puck-drop of G1 to the countdown of G7. Four overtimes. Every second tight. Unbelieveable.

@JacobsFieldRBW Messick should be the leader. Murakami's 3 true outcomes are insane. 60% of his PA(145) are HR/BB/SO. 13 HR 27 BB 48 SO

The AL Rookie of the Year award is a three-horse race between Kevin McGonigle, Chase DeLauter, and Parker Messick IMO. Here’s how they stack up by fWAR currently: McGonigle - 1.5 Messick - 1.3 DeLauter - 1.2 Murakami has 1.1, but what he’s doing isn’t nearly as sustainable.

@michaelgrange I'm actually shocked to say this, but they missed him more on the defensive end. Need to see Jackson-Davis pick up some minutes on Mobley.

Brandon Ingram, listed as questionable for Game 7, in a walking boot at shootaround this AM in Cleveland.

@RotoPat This reminds me of the time when the Herald Examiner drew a cartoon of Tommy LaSorda on the mound talking to Fernando Valenzuela saying "Just one more pitch", while handing him back his arm.

Randy Johnson night. His career high pitch counts lol

@BobbyMlRE That might be because of the play-in. Instead of getting a struggling 7 seed, you get the better of the 7-8 matchup.

a 7 seed has advanced 3 times in the last 5 years after only advancing 2 times in the previous 43 years

I don't have a problem with the Celtics starting lineup in Game 7. Sometimes you have to play the game backwards, lest you have a starter foul out with 8 minutes left. The question is why Harper Jr. instead of Gonzalez.

Back in the day, your best defensive player was not in your Big 3. Cooper(Magic, Kareem, Worthy), Dennis Johnson(Bird, Parish, McHale), and Bobby Jones(Moses, Erving, Cheeks) fit, as did most teams. So can Detroit or Houston win it all if Amen or Ausar are in the Big 3?

@BetMGM Quentin Johnston isn't either. He is in the Medium Place.

The 2023 draft was Pro Bowler or bust in the 1st round😅

@acosta32_jp Looks like a special teams drill.

Man what is this

One of the things that is interesting about the NHL and NBA Playoffs is that the narrative can change every 2-3 days.

@NetsDaily Thought of this after I posted, but his ceiling is probably Harrison Barnes.

Zaccharie Risacher is 21, will make $13.8M next year. Expiring deal. He wants out. Obviously they don’t want him. Does someone take a chance on him?

@NetsDaily He will have a bigger market than you think. Not sure why he fell off this year, but he had 4 30 pt games as a rookie. Probably needs a place he can start.

@KeithOlbermann I think they can get a big name. Either Helleybuck, because the Jets ran it back for 8 years, or because of Oettinger's last 4 playoff years. Besides draft picks, maybe Hyman, or Bouchard goes. As solid as Nugent-Hopkins is, trade value isn't there.

Kind of hard to believe that the Oilers are going to burn the prime years of McDavid and Draisaitl because management couldn't find a #1 goalie with a 100-game shelf life for 12 consecutive seasons or more

@espn Brilliant. Get 25 min a game; play for a team that should have 5 buy games a year. Should only get better.

Breaking: Former Florida Gator, 7’9” Olivier Rioux, is transferring to UC Irvine, he announced on social media.

Didn't the Cavaliers get Keon Ellis to be a defensive stopper? He needs to get more than 10 minutes a game in this series.

@tomhaberstroh Is this just their own pick, or does this count trades and swaps?

Interesting provision: "no team would be able to win three consecutive top-five picks" Would have prevented: Spurs (Wemby, Castle, Harper) Pistons (Cade, Ivey, Ausar, Holland) Cavs (Mobley, Garland, Okoro) Rockets (Green, Jabari, Amen, Reed)

I do wonder if teams in the west will try to build their own teams, or build them specifically to beat the Spurs.
