Borderline Magic-ish, but if they Heat don’t steal at least one of the 1st two games in Denver, it’s going to be a sweep - standard or Gentleman’s. If they do get one in Denver to start, will be a long series.

 

[lawdog1]

They’re still gonna be ready…

 

[noblekane]

Yup! Especially when you consider what he just did to the best defensive player in the world last series!

exactly. ad abused bam in the bubble finals. jokic abused ad in this years playoffs. its most likely gonna be jokic slaughtering bam

Mike Malone pulls Lakers fans into a deeper depression.

elpablo21 Nuggets in 5

 

[noblekane]

since lakers and warriors not playing i dont care who wins but think nuggets win in 4 or 5.

will be interesting to see how this long layoff affects the nuggets. they were on a roll before it.

Funnily enough the current list of longest tenured coaches is....
Pop - 27 seasons
Spo - 15 seasons
Kerr - 9 seasons
Malone - 8 seasons
5 - All were 2018 hires (Bud, Casey, Nurse were all fired this offseason), 2019 (Monty Williams was fired but Taylor Jenkins is still employed so he holds the spot at a whopping 4 seasons).

So Malone isn't a spring chicken in Denver, he's up there by NBA standards!

TENURE MATTERS

Damn.

So this is over.

Wonder who he was talking to then.

Aaron Gordon?

Couldn’t pay me to live in Detroit

Honestly not a bad place to live at all. I’d need a hefty bag to live anywhere in the Midwest again but great place to raise kids and a lot of Black history

Heat in 3 0 5!!!

2 GM's and 3 coaches over 25 years, so much of the front office and coaching staff have also been around for over a decade.

No one takes that loyalty, stability and consistency as seriously in the league as Riley

Monty is perfect there, but yea thats a hard place to live in.

I got offered a 3 year/1 mill contract to work in Alaska. It was one of those towns where theres no sunlight for most of the day. Very few people in general. Did my research and it was super eery.

Passed on it when I graduated, now low key regret it

I heard about this town in Michigan you speak of but can’t remember the name.I work in aviation maintenance and they was offering a big bag to come out there but no one would take it
