Bayless sucks. He's always been a troll.
These last two games have been snooze fests. Hopefully the Mavs can at least make a game of this one.

he shot 45.5% from the three with the raptors last year...
He's also considered a good defensive player.
I hear ya . Last year in the playoffs it just felt like the raptors went on a run anytime he went to the bench
Because the media always says it who Lebron wanted, it’s like getting that extra star once committed to Bama.
Lakers open as favorites again. Do they win or even cover?

Man I love watching Bam play.
Dude is just non stop effort.

Its def the team I root for in the East...love how they play team ball.
Came here just to post that! LOL
Loved AD crushing him for a rebound for an outlet dunk the other way
Houston beat the 5th team in the West, in a neutral site game, out-rebounded, without it's 2nd best player, with Harden only scoring 21pts, and the team only hitting 33% of their 3's.
I think you really have to be worried about this team. They look like they could close out OKC in 5, 6 at tops.. and they'll get Westbrook back.. which means *knocks on wood* Houston will have it's big 3 back, which only played 15-20 games together all season..

That Miami game was my play of the day,got 5.5 easy payday.Went good last night with a three team parley,Astros,Padres Mavericks,funnest sports night in a while,watching Machado lauching one to the bleachers in extra innings to win.Makes things lot funnier busting a few bucks around the evening of sports.
I thought the Capella move earlier was borderline lunacy, but it has proven to be beneficial. That said, I do not trust Russell Westbrook, and to be honest, Harden is never his sharpest in the playoffs either.
I don't disagree at all. I took a beating on the Rockets Facebook today, when someone asked if they'd trade Harden for Luca, and I said, without hesitation, Yes. All day. I don't trust Harden (or Westbrook) in the playoffs at the moment. And I don't know if small ball will work against the elite teams.
As for Capela, he sucked. I'm glad he's gone. That guy was even softer in the playoffs and he made a living on an already small-ball lineup. Glad that contract is gone.
A big injury aside, this is the crossroads for this Rockets era. Our guys should be healthy, no GSW in our way, no elite teams. Everyone looks messy. Harden had time off. You HAVE to get to the Finals. If they don't, you need to start thinking of life after Harden.
The only player who maybe has a case for having a higher trade value than Luka is Giannis. I'd still probably take Luka who is 5 years younger and is an elite playmaker with more shooting potential. Plus he just told a former Card to stop flopping, so that gives him a few more points in my book.
..anddd there goes his season.
I do like Luka a lot. He could never really find a consistent shot and still be a hell of a threat. I suspect a lot of players will want to join him in a few years. Walking triple double. And if he DOES find that shot, jesus, watch out.
You never know with ankle turns but not being able to put weight on it is usually a sign that it's gonna take a few weeks to get over. I hope he can return though. This series is a wrap without him
That was a bad one. Ive rolled mine a few times like that. If you have ever had a bad ankle sprain you will forever wince when you see one during an NBA game..
