Geeze, Mitchell Robinson out for the rest of the playoffs now with a stress fracture in his foot. Another big injury blow for NYK. No way they can sustain their current pace of play all through this tough Indy series and keep it up next series, too.
Murray got a $100K fine but no suspension.The fine is admittedly a fat one, but I fail to see why Dejounte Murray bumps a ref and gets a game last year while Murray throws junk at a ref TWICE and doesn't miss time. The Nuggets got really lucky. I think it's pretty clear that the league isn't going to suspend a star player from an important playoff game unless he comes on court with a shotgun.
If Tatum or someone else did what Murray did then forget suspended, they'd probably be arrested

(1) lack of playoff experience (2) lack of interior presence. Only one legit big in Chet and he is skinny and easy to push around. However, the draw has been kind to OKC. They could have easily crashed in the first round if they had drawn the Lakers or someone like that. A team with experience and an interior presence.Instead they got an injured New Orleans team and then in the 2nd round where always going to get a team in either PHX or DAL who had no interior presence.So now they have a lucky draw all the way to the WCF where they will meet a team with strong big men. Either Jokic and A Gordon of the Nuggets. Or Towns, Gobert and Naz Reid of Minnesota. That will be their first real test of the postseason. I expect them to fail at that test.
I was talking about FA guards Orlando might target next season and how most of the top talents are forwards which do not suit their roster so well. I scrolled far enough down the FA list to finally arrive at Sam Hauser who somehow was listed #60 or so on Hoopshype in terms of free agents. Not ideal but better than overpaying someone like Klay Thompson. More of a SF than a SG. Lacks the handles & playmaking Orlando needs but does provide the shooting Orlando needs. Hauser is definitely someone I would look at if I were Orlando.

About the only reason they would is if they know they have a new deal lined up.
