Rockets barely getting by the #8 seeded Wolves at home. Who would have thought that the biggest margin of victory today would have been Indiana over Cleveland?

That game was practically unwatchable, and CP3 got bailed out after almost choking. Again.

Man, golden opportunity missed by Minny tonight.

Still don’t really buy into Houston. I think a fully healthy GS takes them even without HCA, and I could see OKC giving them real problems, too.

Jimmy Butler's foot was on the line so he airballed a 2-pointer where they needed a 3 to tie the game.

Ah well, onto Game 2 for everyone involved!

Man, does missing out on Capela tick off others as much as it does me? He was the guy I wanted instead of Young, while others wanted Harris, Hood, etc., which also would’ve been better than Young. Think how set we’d be both now and in the future with a young, athletic, and defensive-minded 5 like Capela.

I know man. We could've had someone like Capela, Harris, or Hood but we got James freakin' Young instead.

Same thing with passing on Giannis over Nolynyk  ::) ::) ::)

That contract though ;D

Danny has got to get ready to manage all these young players contracts going forward. I hope The Celtics management is ready to pony up!

What do you think Brown and Tatum are going to be getting paid in 2-3 years? I hope Wyc is familiar with the luxury tax...

So not much help from KAT
I had no idea that  D. Rose was going to get minutes, 23 minutes 16 points from him....

How do you figure? He dragged that team to the playoffs in a brutal West, and just returned 6 weeks after meniscus surgery to make sure of it.
