The Celtics beating the Warriors gave me deja vu of a moment in the 2012 NBA finals when Durant, with his team down 2, decided to go up for an immediate contested 2 rather than wait for something that gives his team a better chance of forcing OT as a whole. I criticised the decision then and I'll criticise it now.

Even if he makes that shot, which he didn't on either attempt, he's only tying the game and giving the other team ample time to make their own basket and reclaim the victory. Why not try to take some time off the clock and at the very least force the opposition to rush on offence if you make the tying basket? Especially since the shot Durant did take on both occasions was with a defender on or near him?

I know its early but are we looking at a Warriors-Celtics Finals? Or are the Cavs still the ones to beat in the East.....although not on current form.

In other news... BULLS WIN!!

And still well clear at the bottom of the East :S

But your teams tanking, wins are losses and losses are wins. You don't want to lose that 1st overall pick to Dallas or Atlanta after completely nuking the roster from orbit, right?

Ben Simmons is the very pinnacle of enlightenment I'm taking full on blast up your ass so fast, 2020 Olympic gold medal here we come!

You are going to play for Australia again, right Ben?

Also, Marcus Smart is a very curious case. Field goal percentage in the 20's, true shooting percentage of below 40, yet the numbers indicate that he makes Boston better just by being on the court. His Plus/Minus per 48 right now? +13.6!

Still early days, but it looks like the Bulls are going to win the "Dumpster Fire for Doncic" race. Maybe fate can throw you guys a bone after cruelly taking Rose away. Actually now that I put it that way I'm pretty sure the Bulls have a 100% chance of obtaining the 1st overall pick this year, seeing as though the draft lottery is rigged :P.

You'd take Doncic over Bagley from Duke? Or don't see Bagley as a fit for the Bulls because of Markkanen? Bulls already have young PG in Dunn and combo in Lavine, not sure if another ball handler would work.

I'm biased against the college system and towards players named Luka. It's going to be a highly contested decision between Doncic, Bagley, and Ayton all season unless one goes even further beyond, but keep in mind that Doncic is doing it against professional players, rather than amateurs; skilled players yes, but ultimately amateurs.

Also, no player on the Bulls, or the Hawks barring Schroder, is safe from being replaced if the incoming talent is strong enough. Many of them are barely above D-League quality.

I must have reverse jinxed the Bulls because they just won three in a row and made me eat metaphorical crow. They're ruining the glorious tank!

Yes let's stop talking Bulls. It isn't good in a way for us to win all the time

Make that 4 in a row. But next 3 are Bucks, 76ers and Cavs. Normal service will be resumed
