NBA 2018-2019

Where will Joerger go next? LA? I rate him as a coach. He did well with Memphis and the Kings. Not sure what LeBron thinks of him though.
 
He needs to go coach a college team where he gets the ultimate say in everything.

That's the second front office that has fired him because he didn't play nice with them.
 
Lakers really are the United of NBA . Living on past glory while being run in an awful directionless manner

Butler is having a super strong night but Nets are still well on top in third.
 
Simmons is borderline unplayable in the playoffs. Really just play TJ McConnell there.

So dissapointed by him, zero change in his game from last season.

Yeah, I don’t get how he can continue to ignore his shot. He will never become a dominant player while being this clueless from basically anywhere beyond ten feet.
 
I told you Raptors were going to struggle here. They will probably win the series but it won’t come easy.

Kawhi seems in no mood to let them lose.

He’s a great playoffs player. I still vividly remember his performance against Memphis two years ago, he was insane. There was a reason why Warriors sent out Pachulia to injure him, he was killing them out there as well.
 
Carter-Williams playing in a playoffs series is such a random sight.

MCW got clotheslined to the face by Lowry and the refs missed it. About the only good thing Lowry did all night
 
Magic deservedly take game 1 and they weren’t even that good tonight.

Damn Raptors and Philly dropping game ones, who'd have called that

I expected Raptors to have problems. Magic are the best defense in the league for the last 3 months and finished season 21-9 while Raptors somewhat struggled.

I did not expect Nets to be that tough of a match up for Sixers.

Both remain favorites for the series but losing home court advantage already in game 1 is always a blow.

Both teams played well tonight I must admit. So good to watch competitive playoff basketball though the refs blew far too much in the first game. Almost makes me want to stay up and see if the Clippers can do something.
