Randle has been quite beastly lately. Helping to whet my appetite for all things UK
Absolutely, Randle has been a pleasure to watch play at this high level in the playoffs during his 1st season in Minnesota. It is great to see former Cats still playing basketball at this time of year and even later in the summer when the La Familia team gets together for even more offseason action to bide time until BBM.

Julius Randle struggled in the playoffs in NY .

It is great to see him ball out so far in the playoffs for Minnesota . Especially since it looked like Minnesota regretted the KAT trade midway through the season .

Randle looks very comfortable .

88-111 without Curry and Thompson

Pretty wild, if you ask me. You remove a guy like Curry AND a top5 shooter of all time and future HOFer in Klay Thompson, and Golden State *still* has a .440 winning percentage. It's a perfect example of them being a system more than any one player. It also tells you how stacked those teams were, as GSW did a great job with their bench pieces as well.

Mavs will have a chance to be good next season if Flagg is solid as a rookie.
Sucks Kyrie won’t be available .

But he goes to a good situation compared to where most number 1 picks land .

This lottery will most definitely be called rigged lol.

Yeah once it got to the top he has 3 pretty good situations in Dallas , Philly , and San Antonio.

Wemby, Fox, and Flagg would have been fun to watch .

I realize it would take longer (but that means more commercials and more money, Silver) but the NBA could put an end to rumors and conspiracy theories by just doing ping pong balls live. Just do the top three. The fact that it would generate a crap ton of hype and money, yet the NBA won't do it, should tell everyone what they need to know about the legitimacy of the NBA draft.

David Stern is smiling up from hell the way this draft was rigged. The NBA didn't want the Golden Boy rotting away in Charlotte or Washington, or being on a west team like Utah that plays games at 9 or 10 p.m. EST and is never on national TV. I don't see Dallas as a great situation either though. AD has a lot of wear and tear on his body and Kyrie will be coming off an ACL tear and he's no spring chicken either.

It'll be really interesting to see what the Spurs do. Another PG isn't a need with Fox and Castle, and Dylan Harper is a ball-dominant guy. There's been a lot of smoke they'll be involved with Giannis. But the Spurs don't seem like the type of organization that'll pay a king's ransom for a guy that's 30 years old. I think they'll end up packaging the No. 2 pick and get another superstar one way or the other though.

They wont. Such shiesters. In no world does a live draw lottery be done behind closed doors (or in recent years, not show you exactly what's inside).

Knicks might win this in 5 games and get some nice rest for the next round. Not sure if they will beat either team.. but the rest will be BIG for them and the minutes they play every night.

Not sure about the pacers, but if Tatum is out, which it for sure seems like he ain't playing anytime soon, they will most likely win next game.
The Cavs are done. Pacers aren't elite, but they're deep, run for days, and pretty solid on both ends. Think they're possibly the best team since Jan 1. Something like that.

****.. you think that might be Achilles?

For crying that much, it better be something big.
Remember when Paul Pierce got wheelchair'd off the court in tears? Turned out he had only **** himself.

But yeah that looks like an Achilles. His ankle didn't bend or anything like that. That sucks. Any chance of a repeat is over and an Achilles keeps him out for most of next year too.
