I'm going to enjoy watching Cleveland wreck Boston on the boards. It's going to be a 12 - 18 rebound advantage every night.

Golden State is paying Steph Curry $11M per year. He's an MVP-caliber player and he's getting paid like he's Alec Burks. It has nothing to do with Luxury Tax.
I'm not talking about RIGHT NOW. Yes we all know Curry is getting paid $11m, nothing we can do about that. But GOING FORWARD, without a hard cap, GSW can MAX Curry, MAX Durant, and keep paying Luxury Tax if they wanted to.
With a hard cap, once Curry is due for a raise, they would have to look at whether or not they can fit Curry's MAX under the hard cap. If not they would be forced to trade away one of Klay or Draymond, or if Curry wants to get a MAX deal somewhere else he can do that also - further weakening GSW and spreading the talent around.
It will create a much more level playing field.
A fully healthy Celtics team is getting trounced way worse than a hobbled Jazz team against a superior (on paper) team.
Look good for Hayward coming back to the Jazz.

Yea, I'm not sure what to make of it. Is Boston that tired? Is lebron that great? Or is the east just that bad?
The Celtics have defensive liabilities aside from their wings. They focused on taking away Cleveland's 3-pt looks and ended up giving up a lay-up line for much of the first half. But yeah, Cleveland is that much better. Cleveland didn't even play particularly well.
Some Celtics fans saying they should trade IT and build around young players while Lebron dominates the EC.
