Looks like Fizdale wants to make a significant tax-deductible donation through the NBA Charities program.

...then again, when your team identity is proudly announced as GRIT 'N GRIND in contrast to the finesse direction of the rest of the league -- playing in the iconoclastic Pat Riley 90's Knicks style is probably gonna have a few whistles called against you.

Fines are tax deductible? The problem with Grit n Grind is they are not doing it. They were beaten like a drum for the first two quarters, giving us 9-0, 11-0, runs to the f-----g Spurs (that's what I'm calling them from now on). you can't give away 20 points with no answer in an NBA playoff game. Yeah there were fouls that should have been called but the f-----g spurs were shooting at will in the first half and by the time the Grizz got going it was too much of a hill to climb.

You know I have to say, the air seems a bit fresher this morning. The sun seems a little brighter, the coffee tastes a little better. You know why? Because last night Mike Conley stood tall, put his team on his back and showed the f-----g Spurs who's boss!

 

On to game 4!

I can definitely see Celts/Wiz going 6 or 7, but ultimately Washington will likely run out of gas. They have to play their starters insane minutes to have a chance because their bench is such an immense liability. Eventually their legs will just have nothing left.

 

In other news, Houston will almost certainly win their series, but Kawhi is freakin' amazing. He's just the best basketball player on earth right now.

Why is Kawhi Leonard the best basketball player in the planet?

 

He is by my estimation:

 

-Third best SF, behind LeBron and KD, and just ahead of Giannis.

 

-Second best defender between Draymond and Gobert.

 

-Shows very little variance in team performance when he is on the court vs off the court.

 

-The Eyeball test reveals he is a great player, but LeBron, KD, Curry, Russ, and Harden look more impressive.

 

-Traditional stats are very good but nothing spectacular.

 

-Advanced Metrics like him but love others more.

 

...Is he the best two way player? Maybe. But his defensive value is not great enough to offset the better offensive production of the other superstars when you factor everything in the aggregate.

If he is gonna  be even in Lebron's league, he needs to go to a crappy team (ie. not the Spurs) and make them a bonafide threat. No other single player does that currently. The closest out of Lebron is Harden  though it took a lot extra work, and mistakes to get to this point. With lebron, the forumla is simple. Put Lebron on a team and they ar einsta contender. take him off a team insta pretender. All these other wannabes may have flashy stats but the factsa re the facts - james makes the teamn he plays for better and the team he does't worse. Even Harden didn't do that. OKC was still a contender after he left  outside of the injury filled seasONS.

It's as I thought it would be, a really tight series between the Celtics and Bullets where Washington ultimately ran out of gas down the stretch, on account of having to constantly play their starters huge minutes because their bench is so terrible.

 

Hopefully the Celtics can take a game or two off the Cavs, though they'll obviously ultimately lose the series.

The Nets lose the draft, Celtics get the #1 pick and Lonzo Ball and his dad to the Lakers.

The Brooklyn Nets Boston Celtics won the draft lottery.  I would imagine they will take Markelle Fultz, creating an outright frightening guard combo with Isaiah.
