NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

Time for him to come to Utah to get his ring.

Well, he said some years ago he would play for Utah (or LA...ughhh) if for some reason Portland let him go

Yeah he has Utah ties. Went to my alma mater, Weber State.

I've had to concede because he's won championships, but he quits when it gets hard in the playoffs. He just does.

Sure, if he can cruise to a trophy he'll do it. He'll even be a massive performer getting there. But when it doesn't look good, when it gets real hard, when it becomes an uphill battle, LeBron James packs up his **** and goes home. That's who he is.

I know this is gonna sound crazy, but he's ~36, seen it all, and done it all as a player in the league. I'm sure he's at a point where he's not interested in burning anymore wax than he has to, and he's not interested in slogging it through bad ****.

I couldn't tell anyone why he couldn't wait a couple of minutes, that's a new low. I'm honestly not totally sure why I'm making this post, except that he's human, I guess.

Danny Ainge out as Celtics GM. Brad Stevens to assume Head of basketball operations for them.

Wow.

As both teams are currently structured, I think he'd honestly pick Utah assuming Conley wasn't here.

@Handlogten's Heros this would give DL & co. a bit more relief and time off with another guy in the rotation to man the fort.

They should save their money and pony up for the luxury tax bills incoming because they don’t have one GM that is good at maths.

Why would we want Ainge? Everyone hates his ***... he burned bridges everywhere and screwed us over in the Hayward deal... why give him a landing spot... he can take his fat neck elsewhere.

There are very few things that would test my mettle as a jazz fan. This may be one of them. I really, really don't like this guy. How he ****** up the opportunity Boston had is beyond d me.

We have no need for Ainge. Simple as that.

Final score in sports is meaningless and should not count.

Last nights Blazers v Nuggets game once again proves that the final score of a sporting event is the most ridiculous thing to look at in order to see who won. When that game ended, the referee should have stood at center court and pointed to the Blazers bench - they win. End of story, everybody goes home happy.

Blazers were down by double digits numerous times (including in an OT), Blazers twice tied the game on a buzzer beater, Lillard with his record setting performance was the best player out there....when the clock ran out the refs should have consulted and raised the Blazers' hands -- tonight's winner. You accept that format in boxing, why not in basketball?

No real sports fan looks at the final score. I never once look at the score when my teams play. It's stupid. The score is for people who don't know sports. Below is a picture of the way last night's game went to every thinking sports fan. Portland is the guy with the blue gloves. Portland is now up 3-2 in the series.
