Dream Playoffs matchups:
1 Celtics vs 8 Sixers (Young blood on young blood)
2 Cavs vs 7 Bucks (Giannis vs Bron)
2 Rockets vs 7 Clippers (Ex's Beefs)
3 Spurs vs 6 Pels (Pop trying to coach past AD & Boogie will be interesting to see)
4 Wolves vs 5 Thunder (PG vs Butler would be a hardbody matchup, interesting matchups with KAT vs Adams, Wiggins vs Thunder perimeter D, Russ vs Thibs D)

Then Warriors vs either Wolves or Thunder in the 2nd round would be pretty great to watch
And of course Celtics vs Cavs ECF, Kyrie vs Bron


Silver make it happen

Can't wait to see how many games it takes Simmons to hit 100 3's

What's been a pleasant surprise to me is how good he's been with the ball in his hands. I knew he'd be good off the ball coming off screens, in transition and in cuts, but he's running PnRs and making good decisions with the ball and looking like a PG on a few of these plays. Minnesota fans used to always talk about how terrible ZaVine was when they put him at point but he looks good there from what I saw.

Flip threw him at PG a lot his rookie season and he just wasn't ready for that. After being a 6th man SG in college to running point in the pros, it wasn't looking good. But he and Gorgui had a really nice two-man game set-up and I think if the Wolves had better shooters around him it would have looked a bit different. But Rubio, Wiggins and any bigs other than KAT weren't going to spread the floor and give him the best passing lanes. It's gonna be fun to watch him because I know he is the type of dude where that trade definitely gave him even more motivation and he was always improving to his game so I'm sure he's gonna be something special next year.

All debates and beefs aside and regardless of who you root for, it's an absolute privilege to be able to watch Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and LeBron James play.

Three best players in the world and will go down as icons of the game.
It aint a privilege to watch Durant go to a 70win team. Neva forget

he already seems to have developed a great 2 man PnR game with lopez and markannen.
