Just occurred to me the Jrue Holiday missed half the season because his wife needed surgery...

Isaiah Thomas sister passed and he didn't even sit out a minute..


:wow:

Everyone has their own set priorities and not to mention dealing with a loss family member is different than dealing with a sick family member.

They both did what they felt was right and thats what's important

:yeshrug:

That is the purpose of seeding. The idea is to give the top seed the "easiest" path. That really means nothing in the NBA with 7 game series though.

yeah I wish they would go back to a 5 game first round just because it would give those lower seeds a puncher's chance to win a series based on jumping ahead in the series early. However the amount of potential ad revenue lost would keep that from ever happening.

That's why I root for short series. These dream scenario for these greedy fukks is 8 game 7s on a weekend. They almost fukked around and got none this year :mjlol:. There is no reason for the first round to be 7 games. If you really want the regular season to mean something you either get rid of the first round altogether or go back to giving top seeds byes.

Top seed byes should really be a thing. At worst it never should have stopped being best of 5.

It really sucks when the fans are obviously getting lesser quality due to something that can easily be fixed if not for greed.

A fan asked Kevin Durant who his top 5 all time are.

He excluded players still playing but said LeBron would absolutely be there if he did.

His top 5 of all time

1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Duncan
4. Magic
5. Shaq
