I for one couldn't believe at the time that Jordan passed on Booker and took Frank Kaminsky.

But then I found out his reasoning was that he wanted to take more veteran college players as he thought they would be better for the NBA or something? I remember he also took Kemba because he thought he was a WINNER.

Yeah because he would never get swept in the second round without his robin, he gets swept in the first.

Robin's are pretty important.

Jordan doesn't have ANY titles without Pippen.

Well his rationalization at the time was that because Kemba won the NCAA tourney he was a WINNER and should be drafted.

Yeah win a variancefest, you're a WINNER. And Ryan Riess really was the best poker player in the world when he won the Main Event! (which he declared right after he won it, if you forget).

I don't know what I was expecting DeAndre Ayton's voice to sound like but that wasn't it.

Ayton and Joker have had this love-fest thing going on all year, it’s adorable.

Btw Mizell was the Nuggets beat writer last year, clearly she’s only following winners.

Easy to be gracious when you’re up 3-0. Thumbs up to Ayton for rocking what appears to be two massive chains at the same time tho. Very fresh.

CP3 kinda saved the Clippers as a franchise so gotta go for Suns as an alternate. Doubt Ballmer swoops in with the bag if the team sucked ass for the five years before he bought, and then who knows what happens when Sterling got too toxic to handle. Decent chance they would have been moved when that went down (not that Ballmer isn’t plotting to hightail it to Seattle as we speak).

I've been watching these games. Jokic can't handle a true big man defending him. Nurkic and now Ayton shutting Jokic down. That is not an MVP.

Hawks would sweep philly without Embiid.

I say Suns in 7! Though who is guarding Durant? It would be pretty fun having 95% of basketball fans pulling for Phoenix!

I'm really looking forward to a series vs the Jazz. My casual fan take is they match up pretty evenly. The faster the Jazz take care of LA the better it is for the Suns. They don't want a lot down time right now. Suns in 6 closeish games.

I hope the series vs Denver goes to a 5th game just so we get another home game (ticket flipping FTW), but I think it's over tomorrow...and not by a little bit. Denver is a defeated team right now.

I got Nets in 6 over Suns if Harden is healthy. It goes 7 without him but I have no idea who wins then.

Who guards Durant??? Jae Crowder, I guess, but then Durant just keeps shooting over him.

I also have Denver just losing by 8+ in G4. As Vince Carter said... IT'S OVAH!

Mitchell is heating up though, I think this gets close. That pull-up from 35 feet was pretty nasty considering the situation.

So many great performances these playoffs.
