    Add content.

    For example, do you think CP3 will continue to play small or will he step up? (Issue raised previously) Does Holiday have his measure now? Can Suns win with CP3 playing like this?

    How about some kudos for Pat Connaughton’s 3-pt shooting?

    Who do you want your team to draft? What trade do you want to see?

    Who’s going to trade for Collin Sexton? (BMills - keep or trade him?)

    Will the US Olympic team get themselves together? What happened to the team/roster building concept they used before? Why so disorganized and haphazard now?

    Lots of shit to write about. So…write.

    Man it's looking like that's the only way this is gonna end. It's such a drag-anchor of a contract and he's borderline toxic around the organization right now. I think you have to suck it up and pay him to go away. Shame really as I was hoping he'd use the Olympics as a base to get back on track, until he didn't feel like it anymore.

    Another issue for the Cavs. He wants, and someone will pay him, a max deal. That someone won't be the Cavs. It would be great to get something in return for him, but finding that dance partner in the NBA is like 3D chess sometimes.

    Content: the new Space Jam movie is surprisingly more entertaining than you might expect, from a perspective of Ready Player One - - see how many other Warner Bros' characters you can see in the crowds, cameos, etc, along with references to the old Space Jam movie. It's streaming on HBO now.

    And Chris Paul is a grating annoying player, so I'm rooting for the Bucks.

    Love seems like a head case. Dunno if he’s trying to pull a “Blake,” or if he’s washed. Olympic team tossed him a lifeline and he didn’t prepare himself. Tough for Cavs fans knowing team owes him ~$60M for 2 years.

    CP3 seems hurt, but Holiday is most certainly part of the issue.

    It's pretty wild that Connaughton also was drafted to the MLB, similar to Danny Ainge. Great athlete.

    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    I definitely thought the Suns would win - even with a healthy Giannis - but the last few games Giannis has been insane. And it's hard not to root for him, given how earnest and humble he is.

    Is Giannis the best athlete in the league?

    Me thinks so. Dude is next level.

    Unreal performance by Giannis

    CP3 and Booker shrank

    welp, that more than likely seals the fate of cp3 as he joins the likes of chuck, stockton, iverson, and mailman. too bad.
    good for giannis, the bucks, and their fanbase though.
    did they mention there are "an estimated 65,000 outside the arena tonight"?
    swing your fucking sword.

    This.

    That was a great series. Giannis is a beast.

    Scary thing about Giannis is that based on his work ethic and drive, and evidenced by his FT% and even 3-pointers (yeah, well 1 for 3 but still) tonight, he has the potential to get even better.

    He seems like a mensch, reminds me of Hakeem in the hardworking-humble-immigrant-makes-good narrative.

    Paul is still under contract for next year. Suns are in their prime, so the door aint shut yet.

    Booker, Holiday, and Middleton all got to get on that flight to Tokyo for Sunday's game against France.

    Career high points total to close out the finals. That is straight ballin! Couldn’t have happened to a better guy. Truly an admirable sports star on and off the court.

    So... Giannis confirms the mantra that to win a Championship, you need a super duper star. Happy for him, especially after he demonstrated his loyalty to Milwaukee. Those free throws were damn impressive! That's some clutch shit right there.

    While you can only beat who's in front of you, the Suns are hardly the favorites in the West next season IMO. Not saying they can't make it back, but I don't really see this as a Championship window for them in the traditional sense of that phrase.

    Those steals by holiday the other night in the fourth were back breakers

    Giannis is a force & stamped his will on game 6

    Cp3 just kinda folded in my eyes, booker was carrying the team this series

    I agree, hard not to love Giannis. Amazing performance. The loyalty to the bucks will likely put him ahead of LeBron and Durant who I think are the only players at his level. Glad to see he's back in the GOAT conversation after a couple year hiatus due to him being so consistently good but not being able to get a ring.

    Next year should be a good season for the NBA with hopefully some teams coming back with full health. Certainly won't be any easier for the Jazz or Suns to repeat this season's success with teams like the Lakers, Warriors and Nets back to full strength. Damn shame Kwahi will likely miss most of the season since the clippers finally got their groove, though i'm starting to think that the clips are better off without him....
