Which teams y'all rooting for in the playoffs this year?

My EC team is the Bucks

I'm still deciding on my WC team. Last year it was the Rockets but they disappointed me
Bucks in east because them winning causes chaos in FA..Kawhi losing early, Kyrie losing, Butler losing.

And Portland in West, they won't win shyt but rooting for Dame is easy

This is what Ramona said about the coaching, I am still not good with Ty Lue..that is just saying we are giving LeBron his coach. And Ty Lue was fired for playing the vets over the young guys this year

AD and a older LeBron ain't it if the Lakers have to give up most of the core and replace them with lesser players. Also the entire roster is going to need to be filled out as well. Basically, it's Kawhi or bust. KD ain't coming. Kyrie may flirt around with it but he could never live down joining LeBron after leaving him. Klay is a good piece but he's not someone who can carry a franchise and he don't want that Lakers pressure, he's staying with the Warriors.

I would rather we didn't make the AD trade

We wouldn't be much better than we are now
It's not the same trade as the deadline ... When AD said he is open to all team...he meant he will go where he wants to either way....no team will touch him...
So it should be kuz, Hart, Wagner and picks..they will try and lowball .. Celtics can take him if they foolish enough

He was due for a payday and the FO wasn’t going to pay him so they traded him for a shooter. Of course, they didn’t care to actually see what they were getting back.

That’s the nicest way I can put it. Truthfully these some stupid fukks that are fast approaching jim buss levels of bad. Like, this is one of the most mind blowing trades I ever seen. Media execs cancelled the flabgic show off rip but this thot Jeanie gon just keep lettin the franchise burn. Wouldn’t surprise me if she was skiied up too. :francis:

The problem with Maglinka thinking is do that at the end of the year. There is no need to cut him now, Javale still not getting that much if any increased playing time, cause he out here getting raped still. Could've kept him and adjust the remaining mins between Chandlers and Zu. If it was a roster spot, just cut Beas.

he handled the Wiggins thing the right way though. He didn't include Wiggins in his coming home letter. Never made it seem like he gave a fukk about that nikka.

Whereas with our young core he brings his own personal scouting reports for each of them to his meeting with Magic, praises them and makes it seem like he's willing to be patient. I wish if he didn't wanna play with them he would've just told Magic off top and they could've worked it out last summer.

Here is my take, I don't think he asked or implied for them to be traded, BUT he wasn't going to cry about it or say "Nah don't trade them" if they got a superstar. That way he can save face and be like it wasn't me. I think his involvement was talking to AD (probably since last year, seeing that AS pic) and like my main Rich Paul can handle your agent needs and if you're interested I would like having you here as a Laker. What he didn't consider enough probably is that the media going to play it up as he is micromanaging everything.

Out of those choices I would like JVG (If he's in touch with the modern game coaching wise) > Monty (with the right assistants) > Gentry (same as Monty) > Doc (with TLue as defensive coach)
