Lots of premature "they counted us out" talk from both teams up 2-0 right now. Doing interviews like Steph did last year after winning the chip. It's still the CF only. These series are not even close to being over. I think they'll both go to 6+.
I have been thinking about the whole Bob Myers situation, and I came to this conclusion: he is right in doing so. What’s the point, in this moment of his career, to stay and quarrel with Kerr and Lacob for every Kuminga’s minute or rookies development, when he can snap fingers and lead a team like OKC, with a zillion picks, to glory?
> This Podziemski kid who caught my eye after two games is staying in the draft. Everyone from GMs to scouts had positive feedback in Chicago. Expecting a first-round pick.
OT: New video! Cinque Terre, the Italian Riveria: One of the most beautiful destinations we’ve ever visited. We explored all five towns and each one is a picture postcard worth framing. https://youtu.be/lotUt-Qj1D8 (14 minutes long, but the last few minutes are just tips that can be skipped if you’re not planning a visit.)
"teams over that $17.5 million threshold twice in four seasons will have their first-round pick seven years in the future dropped to the end of the round" -- maybe people have mentioned this already, but i hadn't seen that particular wrinkle before. That's a pretty crappy rule. If it goes into effect right away, I imagine it's going to be hard for the Warriors to not exceed the line in the first two years, unless they just salary dump.
In WNBA news, the NY Liberty got absolutely smoked by the Mystics in their first game with Brianna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Courtney Vandersloot. Reminiscent of the Durant Warriors losing their first game by 30 to the Spurs back in 2016. They'll figure things out, but Washington is no joke in their own right—great defensive team, with an all-time great in Elena Delle Donne. If you've never seen her play, it's something to behold.
Brown, Brogdon, and Horford + 1st rounder for Embiid (+filler - House?)? Or does Philly say no, even if even Embiid requests a trade? [pure speculation, of course, on the trade request].

Good to see everything's still going as planned.
Hey buddies,
I have been thinking about the whole Bob Myers situation, and I came to this conclusion: he is right in doing so. What’s the point, in this moment of his career, to stay and quarrel with Kerr and Lacob for every Kuminga’s minute or rookies development, when he can snap fingers and lead a team like OKC, with a zillion picks, to glory?

Great work by Apricot seeing the vision that Podziemski is a realistic option for the Warriors at #19.

Omfg yes. Plz 4-0 LA and BOS.
I found myself rooting for the Celtics. I don’t even know who I am anymore… what’s wrong with me?
Coach Nick did a breakdown of game 1 of the Celtics vs. Heat series:

These Heat role players are so awesome. Gabe Vincent only had 5 points but impacted that game in so many other ways
Network executives with Lakers and Celitcs both down 2-0:

This heat team - damn - very hard to root against them!

Celtics are 4-5 at home this postseason (2-1 vs. Hawks, 2-2 vs. 76ers, 0-2 vs. Heat).
Warriors: "Man that home loss was terrible."
Celtics: "Hold my Guinness"
