    Jokic named MVP again. But it won't win him any games against the T Wolves.

    Wow. Not saying that he doesn't deserve it, but I thought SGA would get it this time.

    I read an article on Sports Illustrated's site that said Shaq told Jokic that he shouldn't have won.

    Well Knicks fans have to be feeling great because they are now 2 wins away from proving Stephen A Smith's Playoff prediction the furthest they'll go is the NBA Playoffs 3rd round.
    Most likely they'll be playing the Celtics if the Knicks reach the 3rd round, and the Knicks haven't reached the Championship level of a Celtics team that has a juggernaut offense which includes multiple players that can make threes.

    The Suns fired head coach Frank Vogel after they were swept in the first round by Minnesota.

    Vogel just seems doomed to keep taking the fall for bad GMs and ownership

    Jokic was too easy a choice, and the voters too lazy to give the award to him. I thought Jalen Brunson was more worthy of the honor as he practically carried the Knicks singlehandedly into the playoffs.

    Knicks, with the most heart in the NBA.beat the Pacers to go up 2-0.
    Without Robinson, with Brunson out for the 2nd quarter, with O G out with a hamstring in the Fourth.
    Let's hope the injuries are temporary.

    FK Frank Vogel. This is a man of, low basketball (business) integrity. He showin to be a willful participant in his own professional demise. What makes it worse is he's a middling coach X and O wise. Contrast with a say, Billy Donovan, who imo is a WORSE coach but much higher basketball integrity. And maybe this is six in one hand half a dozen in the other... but the Vogel WITH HIS STAFF AT THE TIME, of the Pacers days, were his best work and that's just getting further in the rear view. He lives for firing at this point. Crazy part is, he seems to be pretty cool guy, does interviews here still with our local but he would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven as it were... and he ain' ruling.


    Anunoby out for Game 3 tonight in Indiana. Bernard King ERRR-AHHH Brunson listed as questionable. Which means he'll be damned if he don't play at least half. And it ain't Charles Bronson I'm trippin' on. Deevinchinzo has been giving me nightmares for 2 days. I don't even care to spell his name right, that fool been the star of the series. Sht man, he's Shawn Kemp out here on the Pacers. Front court back court, it aint fkn mattered. Damn the refs. All the grace Siakum afforded ran down the drain... and we gotta pay that joker next year. Indiana will win tonight guaranteed but Sunday I'm about 80% on. Shame will or it SHOULD, bring the pro out in Carlisle. If not just don't come back.



    Is there anything that the Cavs stomped out Boston in Boston? People keep putting Boston past these last three and I keep sayin' you and history has seen, that the Celtics are finessers. Forget about the West, cause that's where the Championship is going but the East to me... I know what SHOULD happen but I'm sayin IN>Boston>Cavs>Knicks.
    Beefing up the old home security, huh?

    Being a hopeless cynic, I was of the belief Lebron won that ring for the Lakers during the 2021 "Bubble Playoffs", not Vogel, and he hasn't come close to that since. However, I suspect his name will be on some team's speed dial if they decide that a change is needed.

    And he won't. Being a cynic maybe a factor BUT, what else- A Healthy, strong AD. King wouldn't have got that bubble ring off without him. AD my man so I'm not gone shade him but... and he did his BEST against Joker but Frank had that goin' too. No Jamal Murry that playoffs. Pandemic, bubble ring. Say what you want about that but it is still a Championship and still. I'm not saying Vogel just rolled the ball out there either but for winning that chip he was gone a year later. And Frank was out of the game for a couple years after the Pacers... I think he had 1 stop and didn't stay.

    He made a decision once he took that job and now he's in the record books for it and he'll be chasing from here on out imo. Would anybody ever think Tibbs would have took that Laker job, hell no. Maybe Frank was ALWAYS a company man, he is now for sure. That Suns stint should be a stain and he was willing for it.

    IDK. League is changing- Durant, Curry, King, etc. There just ain't too many top heavy teams trying to jake their way to the top anymore. All that's dried up far as I can see. I got a question- who looks like a better coaching option, Glen Rivers or Frank Vogel? Maybe I'm trippin' but I think ol Doc look better than Frank and Frank got a big ol' ring. Not sayin' he shouldn't maximize on his opportunities but all money aint good and he ain't that good to even make that work. Now his bum ass is gonna be lookin at another assistant coach gig REAL SOON. Aight Ima leave Frank alone.


    ... speaking of Glen's, maybe he'll loose some wieght now. SMDH

    Guess the lesson learned there is to make sure and take money from the NBA legitimately rather than stealing it. Doesn't matter how much money, its the principle that matters.

    Pacers win. But a late Goal tending on the Knicks where the ball was not going in, so should have been a no call. And a clear goal tending not called on the Pacersca minute before gave them the win.
    Carlisle's crying seems to have worked on the Refs.

    Nuggets win big. Not surprised they know what they gotta do to put Edwards and the T-Wolves away.
