    MDA going to speak to media in 30 minutes for regular pregame stuff.

    We’ll know at least by then if we’re taking the court.

    him turning things around would be a miracle at this point

    I’d understand if this was a couple of weeks or even a month of bad play, but this has been an entire season of atrocious play

    at this point, it reminds me of how Billy D kept giving Melo 30+ minutes and 14-15 shots even tho he was horribly inefficient and was killing OKC with his play, especially in the series against Utah when he had 1 of the worst net ratings on the team and the worst plus-minus, and every time he was off the floor, OKC was outscoring Utah in that series

    it’s so hard to believe he’s this garbage, but it’s been the case for so long that it might just have to be accepted as the reality

    I was thinking jokingly that cp3 should instruct okc to boycott game 5 to the rockets as a birthday gift to harden lol

    i don't mind boycotting. let's say stopping the playoffs for a week. it could raise awareness.
    also, potential extra time off for Russ.
    not sure how that TV deal gonna work tho.

    hey , he showed some signs last game and hit a few 3’s in a row . His athleticism looks pretty good and if he can just be somewhat respectable from 3 then he’s great depth .

    From what I’ve read it says that Bucks chose not to take the court.

    From that verbiage it doesn’t seem as if it was a mutual agreement, but it just happened so more info could come out.
