    40 lead changes are you serious?

    Two bad Coaches facing off.

    Joe Mazzula and Mike Daigneault being their Replacements and winning a Championship speaks a lot about Ime Udoka and Billy Donovan.

    Clutch performances where it matters most always erase early game deficiencies.

    Monday morning assessment: Coach put everyone in a position where they could succeed, and they succeeded.

    I think he should have made this move weeks ago. They needed a PG in the half court to help spread the ball around. Reed picks up his dribble too quickly and Sengun needs to be closer to the basket to be effective, not posting up at the top of the key. Same for Adams.

    With JD the ball movement was more evident

    it was the contrast seeing the Bulls generate easy looks by passing and cutting with journeymen and bit role players.. meanwhile we're relying on heavy contested mid-range jumpers to win.

    Ime is brilliantly putting this team into close games against weak opponents so they can practice their late game heroic ISO ball for the playoffs.

    You'll notice unlike in losses.... When KD passes out of the trap we are executing and most importantly making the open shot. It's crazy but our offensive system of making open shots works when you make the shots.

    But hey..... Remind me what OKC's offensive system is..... SGA isolation that either results in a SGA shot/foul or passing it to an open shooter?

    You don’t, don’t you pal.

    My guy here likes those straight, rock hard, long lines, with just a little bit of bend in it for fun.

    Pass for me.

    I like the supple curves of the {tiddy} appearing bracket.

    Different strokes for different folks.

    Well coached in terms of well coaching those Time Outs away. Well coached the heck out of that loss.
