    I'm not sure if I've ever seen another coach insult another coach publicly. In any sport? It's amazing actually how the all back each other like this.

    This series doesn't start until Tuesday. Lame. Is it possible the Lakers gave the Rockets Game 5 to have this three-day break? o_O

    Who do we even root for here? I don't want either team to win. I want to see the Timberwolves get out of the West and the Pistons get out of the East.

    No, the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend if that enemy is a bigger enemey.

    Never root for the Lakers, ever. If the Luka trade did not wake you up to how easily the Lakers could be relevant again out of seemingly nothing, you should wake up now. The whole league is a farm system to the Lakers. The whole Lakers organization from top to bottom feel entitled to get whatever they want.

    I would be a Presti fan.....so never have to pick. Although Pelinka is growing on me.

    I dislike the Thunder, but I dislike the Lakers more. Plus Lakers just eliminated the Rockets.

    ...go Thunder...

    I didn’t think I could dislike a team like OKC but I can’t stand them
    From their nerdy coach all the way down flopping machine SGA and zesty all stars, I’ve had enough of them

    Austin Reaves was asked about his and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to draw fouls. "I know that's a tough topic to talk about because everybody blows it out of proportion. He wants to win and is gonna do whatever it takes to win. If it's shoot 20 free throws, so be it. If I shoot 20 free throws, I'd be happy. I don't think there's any bad intentions with trying to get to the line."
