Don't know how Rondo's thumb is...but I won't be surprised to see the Blazers get Rondoed.

He controls the game...alley oops to Laker bigs.  He'll make a very big difference for them imo.
He'll make a big difference to their offence, but I think he'll massively hurt their defence. He isn't the shooter KCP is, and he's a much worse defender than all their other guards. Who are they going to hide him on? Melo?

And he hasn't played a single game in 7 moonth ...

Playoff Rondo is a different animal. I would be thrilled if he locks down Dame
Not a chance in hell of happening. Rondo has already come up against Dame, and New Orleans kept Rondo away from him at all costs in favour of Holiday. This is what LAL will do with Green/KCP/Caruso, except they are all far worse at defence than Rondo.

Playoff Rondo still exists, but he's a purely offensive force nowadays.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

7 months is a long time...!   We'll see...won't be surprised if his game control is a net positive over KCP's total game...hope I'm wrong.

Huh?? Lebron had 23/17/16. That’s incredible.

Guy could have had 25 assists if the others made their open looks lol

Anthony Davis honored Kobe (RIP) by shooting 8/24 from the field.

He put up an insane stat line, that’s for sure. But I don’t see him as nearly as scary as he used to be. He was far more threatening putting up 38/9/9 than this. Not sure he has the gear on offence anymore to just score at will

Is LeBron already starting to throw his teammates under the bus? I'd bet he's waiting to clean house starting with the GM.

Davis has not proven to overcome pressure in the playoffs...he didn't look like THE man out there tonight.

I also forgot this was also LeBron's first playoff game in the Western Conference.

These are not your typical pushover opponents, LeBron. You've had that luxury in the East playing against teams like the Bobcats, Bucks, Hawks, Raptors etc. I want Portland to give 'em hell.

Nurkic is probably the best contract in the league right now.

I was yelling for us to trade for him in '17...  ::)

I thought our wrist slitting was pretty bad after Gordy's injury but the Fakers fans are in fine form after their loss:

Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Lots of upsets today in the Eastern Conference  :o

Miami Heat downed the Pacers to take Game 1
Was that an upset? I haven't seen anyone tip Indiana to win considering Sabonis is out. Or do you mean literally based on the seedings?
I did >:(
In your defence, you probably didn't expect Oladipo to go down 10 minutes into G1
I absolutely did not lol. Still think the Pacers have a shot at winning this series if Oladipo comes back.
Yeah, that they came this close with him down early shows that it's a toss-up series.

Looking forward to Indiana/Miami v Orlando in R2 ;D
