@Sneakdefreak big move by NO. Quite risky without a sign and trade, Boogie could take his talents elsewhere pretty quick
I think Boogie will go to Boston in the off-season. At least Boston is probably thinking that since they appeared to pull out of the race to acquire him on Sunday when they had the stronger offer.
However, if New Orleans can get something going in the playoffs (Conference Finals etc), then Boogie will stay. -
Jeannie Buss pulls the Michael Corleone manoeuvre by installing Magic Johnson as President of Lakers basketball operations and firing Mitch Kupchak and her hopeless brother Jimmy. The is no guarantee that Magic is the panacea that will bring the Lakers out of the doldrums but I reckon he'll do better than Jim Buss. Now he needs to put together a group of experts underneath him, including a GM, that can make the right moves
-
Great move by the Rockets to get Lou Williams. Will take some of the pressure off Harden in the 2nd half.
Magic was talking about this a couple of weeks ago and "if" he were in charge he'd get a few new faces in.

@ACT-Crusader Great move for Houston, good long term move for LA. They will have a strong chance to get a top 3 draft pick and an unprotected 1st round pick will hopefully help with the rebuild. I wonder how far they will go with blowing the team up. Mozgoff and Diow have been good but they sucked up a lot of cap space. At the same time you want some veterans on the team, maybe ones that aren't so expensive

Jerry Krause, the polarising architect of all those great Bulls teams has died. I can't believe he is not already in the Hall of fame, it is a travesty and now it is too late for him to be able to accept the accolade
Bulls dynasty architect Krause dies at 77

@canefan he'll have to double that for him to drag the rest of his ordinary side to wins

You mean the side that is currently 6th seed in the west, top 10 all NBA and has a .571 WR?
They are doing pretty well. -
The Thunder are doing better than I expected and I like the acquisitions they made before the trade deadline. Gibson is a solid pro and if the 2nd unit can gel a little better i.e get better shots for McDermott, they could get past the first round of the playoffs
-
@ACT-Crusader I just can't see them getting past the first round(likely against the Spurs or Rockets).
-
So as a few may remember I decided to switch NBA allegiances as my Warriors had become too good/hard to support.
I made the call to support the Milwaukee Bucks, and I'm pretty happy with that decision right now, as they steamrolled the Raptors in Toronto to go 1-0 up in the series.
Still a long way to go, but if Giannis keeps his form up then anything is possible...
-
Westbrook drops a 51-point triple double,
and the Thunder still drop the 2nd game of their series with the Rockets
-
@mariner4life Yeah that will happen when you jack up 43 shots. But he got his triple-double so it's fine....

So the eventual NBA finalists Golden State and the Cavs have breezed through unbeaten and are waiting on their respective opponents for the conference finals.
Spurs v Rockets is awesome, SA in front by a game, but no Parker for the first time since the 1800s, and Leonard hurt at the end of the last. Both teams have nicked one the road. Patty Mills now a starter, and drained 20 yesterday.
The Celtics and the Wizards are winning at home, so Boston also up 3-2.
