Meanwhile, Gsw has missed the playoffs in 3 of the last 4 years with Steph dealing with injuries. Kerr is an incredibly mediocre head coach without a complete cast of stars. To give him a lavish 2-year extension into possibly the twilight of Curry's career is absolutely asinine.

How the heck did the Dubs not realize Mike Brown is a better coach than Steve Kerr? Brown was the assoc. head coach in 3 of its recent titles, is a 2x coach of the year, led the effin Kings to the playoffs in 2023 and now has the Knicks (11 straight playoff wins) in the Finals.

It's very unfortunate that Bol Bol has suffered a partial Achilles tendon tear. Though quite possibly not anything more serious, the 7'3 super import will obviously miss the rest of the conference and likely won't be back on a basketball floor for another 6-9 months.

Victor Wembanyama just passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the youngest player in NBA history to record 40 pts and 20 rebs in a playoff game. The 7'5 Frenchman is looking at Shai receiving his 2nd MVP award and showing he's already the best player in the world.

James Harden did it again, scoring a lousy 9 pts on 2/10 fg shooting in Game 7 against the Pistons. Fortunately for the Cavs, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, and Evan Mobley delivered the goods as they move on to the East Finals vs the Knicks.

Nlex may have been the top seed but Tnt definitely felt like the favorites and as things turned out, it wins back to back games to advance to the semis behind the dominant play of Bol Bol who is poised to capture the Best Import award. Meralco will prove to be a stronger foe tho.

Officiating almost ruined a terrific game between Meralco and Magnolia. Newsome flopped vs Sangalang, def. foul (wrong review). Lastimosa threw the ball at Jones' foot, not a kickball (wrong review). Lastimosa extended his leg causing contact with Quinto, off. foul (wrong call).

Aside from 12-minute quarters and the 6-foul + penalty limits, the PBA should 💯 implement Fiba rules next conf, not only on foul calls and the possesion arrow but the whole shebang. The PBA should also have been copying the euro brand of play instead of the NBA for decades now.

Hamstrings are tricky and Ginebra better hope Justin Brownlee didn't suffer anything than a minor tweak (or doesn't aggravate it). If he's not fully healthy against a cohesive, well coached Ros team in the semis, the E-Painters will hold the upperhand in terms of matchups.

The Warriors losing both Stackhouse and Stotts will surely expose Steve Kerr's weaknesses more (similar to past losses of Atkinson, Brown) so they'd need to get first rate lead assistants to cover up for those huge setbacks and Willie Green + possibly Iggy are top names to watch.

@Intramzki Ros will have to defeat Ginebra and it won't be easy. Wishing them the best though. They feel designed to reach the finals but again, anything can happen in a series.

Phenomenal win by Rain or Shine over powerhouse San Miguel en route to another semis stint. Andrei Caracut's shooting was razor sharp, firing 29 big points on 6 threes. The ex-Dlsu guard rang the Bell a lot in the hard fought victory and is certainly playing inspired basketball.

Tough way for Phoenix to end the conf in a blowout loss but Charles Tiu handled the team well despite the circumstances surrounding the team, most especially the late replacement of James Dickey. There are of course rumors swirling. Whether they'll bear fruit remains to be seen.

Roster wise, it's time to trade Alec Stockton. He's a superb player but it's clear he's not the best fit alongside Juan, the Justins, Mikey, Poli, etc. and swapping him for a Barefield (+ assets or whatever's necessary), Ricci Rivero or Javi GdL could prove to be advantageous.

Rajko Toroman is no doubt a brilliant coach but he's 71 and may not have the vigor to call the shots on a full time basis. Personally, I'd keep Danny I, Willie, Capacio and replace everyone else. Rajko can remain but only as a consultant. Implementing a real system is essential.

Entering the playoffs, the biggest story is Converge's failure to make the quarters. The foremost issue it needs to settle is in the coaching dept. It's Gov. Delta's prerogative to retain the head coaching title but a smart, experienced "active consultant" is needed by his side.

Lebron saying he doesn't know what his future holds most likely means he has played his last game with the Lakers (as the team has signified for the past 2 years that it doesn't intend to bring him back). The 2 teams who could reportedly sign James are the Cavs and the Warriors.

The Okc Thunder expectedly sweep the Lakers in Luka's absence. Sam Presti has done it again. Ajay Mitchell (22.5 ppg in the series) is a certified stud and all it took to get him was the 40th pick of the 2024 draft (Oso Ighodaro). $3 million a year is insane value for Mitchell.

@gabb22 Talent wise it's not but the "trade committee" can argue or consider that it is (close). Either Converge will add more assets or increase the millions it'd take to get Barefield if it was a 1-on-1 swap. If the PBA deemed 34 y/o Mav Ahanmisi for Terrafirma's pick fair then...

With Tnt reportedly targeting Joshua Munzon, is its hopes of landing Sedrick Barefield already over? Will Converge challenge Smc in a high stakes bidding war to acquire the ex-G Leaguer? Other than the Mvp group and Smc, Converge can certainly afford Blackwater's high "demands".
