NBA Playoffs

Quin Snyder stepping down from Jazz HC.

The stop in Utah was just to build up his resume so he could be the next head coach at Mizzou when it opens up again.

i don’t think there’s enough popcorn

I think the leave has to do with him knowing they are about to blow the team up and rebuild. Gobert and Mitchell hate each other and it doesn't sound like the locker room is behind one or the other. I think the only way they can avoid a complete rebuild is to do a sign and trade with Phoenix with Gobert for Ayton, since he seems even less likely to play for the Suns again than Gobert and Mitchell are to team up again.

The Ayton situation if baffling to me. But sounds like he's possibly on the move to somewhere else.

Snyder won't be unemployed long, unless he wants to. He did a pretty good job with the Jazz it seems like. But sounds like a dysfunctional situation in the locker room.

fwiw, Mitchell seems like the bigger fan fav locally

This finals sucks.

No it doesn’t.
But Draymond Green does.

"Whoa, whoa".





Speaking of "whoa, whoa".....

Draymond Green committed about 20 fouls last night. Watching him yell at the refs for actually getting called for a foul on a sequence where they ignored his first two fouls and finally called the third when he jumped on top of a Celtics player for a loose ball was absurd.

If it was your typically, corny ass "what?!?" then I would ignore it. But you can tell he is legit telling the refs how bad they suck and is completely convinced that he is right. One of the most annoying NBA players right now.

[pdub]

He really is.

[ousdahl]

...and on the other side of the ball, you got Marcus Smart banking in 3s.

[pdub]

And Al Horford throwing full court passes.

[pdub]

And if Steph is out, Warriors are done.

[ousdahl]

Honestly, I'd rather see Wiggs get the ring than Miles, since Wiggs at least still an active player.

But, does Wiggs know that?

Not that he hasn't been playing well. But down the stretch last night, I had to remind myself he was an all star on a max deal in the finals.

[ousdahl]

And if Steph is out, Warriors are done.

yeah, that's what prompted me to post that this finals sucks.

Looose ball, there's yet another pro wrestling dogpile, and at the bottom Steph is hurt.

Draymond is old and crazy. Klay has potential to produce but still feels like a shell of his healthy self. Wiggins is just so damn Canadian. And that leaves Steph, the goat shooter, but maybe hurt now too.

And I just dunno how I feel about Jayson Tatum. Yea he's good, but there's just some taint to him. Maybe it's cuz he's a Dookie who's also from Mizzou, gross.

And I DO know how I feel about Marcus Smart. He's a turd, and the last guy I wanna see banking in 3's down the stretch in a finals game.

[ousdahl]

the silver lining:

at least Paul Pierce strutting around the garden is fun.

[ousdahl]

man, how many finals in recent years have been defined more than anything by injuries?

Last time dubs were in it, we watched Klay and Durant's leg tendons disintegrate in HD.

[twocoach]

And if Steph is out, Warriors are done.

The 17,000 days between games should help.

[pdub]

I don't understand that comment.
They play tomorrow.
