As a sidelight, watch out for Kyle Kuzma vs Tyler Herro shoot outs. Tyler Herro's girlfriend who's with him in this bubble was Kyle Kuzma's ex-gf :-).


Congrats Tyler Herro! hahaha!

ganda nitong series na ito. Bad blood between Riley and LBJ when they parted ways.

LeBron wanted Spo out.  Riley stood pat. So LeBron left.

Quote
Pat Riley.....Winning is hard.  You live where you are. You “re-tool” you don’t “rebuild”. You stay together.

I’m pissed.

He went on to reminisce of his Lakers teams, “We didn’t find the first door and run.” As if to dare his team to be men he spit out the words:  “You’ve got to stay together if you’ve got the guts. And you don’t find the first door to run out of.”

. “We’re going to find out what we’re made of here. It’s not about options. It’s not about free agency.” The world and everyone’s place in it is a question of character. Who are you? What do you stand for? Can you suffer through adversity? Are you going to turn your back on a fight? Are you a coward?

He was speaking to Lebron James even as Lebron James was not there but on vacation.

How ironic. Today is the launch of The Playbook on Netflix where Coach Doc Rivers is one of the coaches featured for his "Championship Resume"



Ouch.

Out of the blue ........... Phil Jackson will come out of hibernation, hold a press-conference, do one-hundred push-ups to show he is healthy & announce that he's interested in coaching the CLIPPERS.

Ganitong mga "ready-teams" ang gustong-gusto ni PhilJax .......... like when Nash & DH went to the LAKERS, bigla na lang nabuhay si PhilJax and announced that he's hip was healed & he wants to coach again.   ;D

Sana lang hindi siya maka-tulog, like when he did during some KNICKS recruitment sessions.

===========================================================================

Seriously, I would have wanted for Doc to have a bounce-back season with the CLIPPERS.

Jeff Van Gundy is reported to be a candidate replacement ......... pwede.

Doc Rivers and the Clippers have parted ways.

Something inevitable IMO. Unacceptable naman talaga ang nangyari this season for the Clippers.

Too late for a bounce back season for him na rin kasi.
 Doc seems like a great guy and well respected. But he botched his numerous chances.  Sadly, even when the players (Hi KL and PG) underperformed, coach is always the 1st to be shown the door. Nature of their job na rin as an NBA coach.

Looks like Olidapo wants to be traded this coming off-season.

Reports of a trade for Hayward (plus picks) could work ......... both players have a year left on their contracts - the PACERS get a hometown kid plus a few more draft picks, the CELTICS get more athletic.

eto pa pala another great accomplishment by Doc

In Rivers' seven seasons at the helm, the Clippers went 356-208, winning 63.1% of their regular-season games -- the fifth-best record in the NBA and the best by any team without a conference finals appearance.

 ;D ;D ;D

I kinda knew something like that would inevitably happen. If the expectation of your 70B dollar owner (after shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars in guaranteed contracts) wasn't even remotely realized and in the process was subjected to humilation and ridicule then people in the organization will be held accountable.  Its a business first and foremost.

just look at his expectations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5woKTCFXems

PG13 was front row there in that press con where his Boss announced to the world what the expectation was.  Look out for more trades to follow.  It all ended before it began for the Clippers.

sabi nga players win games and coaches lose games hehe.

yes, KL and PG under performed but during their series with the Nuggets, Doc have 3 chances to adjust. if I remember it right, games 5 & 6 they had big leads but nahabol parang late na yung timeouts to re-group or stop the momentum of Nuggets. I believe that in a 7-game series, it's like a chess game between the coaches.

just like what happened to the Lakers, game 1 vs the Rockets eh tinalo sila ng small-ball. Vogel adjusted his line-up, halos tinapatan ang small ball ng Rockets and put AD as their center and halos hindi nagamit sila Dwight and McGee.

lots of variables in Clipperland. They will get a coach that's for sure but will Kawhi get along with him? or will he exercise his player option after next season and bolts to another team?

Ballmer doing his usual stage routine - shouting and gesturing like a nut.  He has his successor at Microsoft - Satya Nadella - to thank, for more than tripling his wealth.  Under Ballmer, Microsoft stocks stagnated and they were overtaken by Apple and Amazon in market capitalization.  Nadella put MS back at the front and into the very exclusive trillion dollar market cap club.

from a very likable player, Kawhi managed to screw up his image because of poor management ... and now the choke job in the playoffs ... his name will never take-off in the endorsement business ... San Antonio and Toronto fans hate him, and also the teams they beat in their championship run last year

sino kaya ang mas madaming haters sa tatlo?

Kawhi
Durant
James

Speaking of choking, does it mean Kawhi and James share the same tag now? o part lang din ng hate sa kanila?

(AP) - Preview capsule for the Lakers-Heat NBA Finals that start tomorrow::

No. 1 LOS ANGELES LAKERS (52-19, 12-3) vs. No. 5 MIAMI HEAT (44-29, 12-3)

Season series: Lakers, 2-0. Both meetings were more than nine months ago before the Heat traded for Andre Iguodala and Jae Crowder, with the Lakers winning 95-80 at home on Nov. 8 and 113-110 in Miami on Dec. 13.

Story line: LeBron James' chance to win an NBA title with a third franchise comes against the team with which he won his first. James led Miami to back-to-back titles in 2012 and '13, with the Heat reaching the finals in all four years he was there. His 10th NBA Finals appearance comes in the first for the Lakers since 2010, when they won the last of their 16 championships. They will tie the Boston Celtics for most in league history if they beat the Heat, who at No. 5 in the Eastern Conference are the lowest-seeded team in the NBA Finals since the New York Knicks were No. 8 in 1999.

Key matchup: Anthony Davis vs. Bam Adebayo. Both big men were voted to All-Defensive teams (Davis first, Adebayo second) and can also take over games offensively. Davis has been dominant in his first season with the Lakers, averaging 28.8 points in the postseason and hitting the game-winning 3-pointer in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. Adebayo finished off Miami's run through the East with a season-high 32 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to help the Heat pull away from Boston in Game 6.

Numbers of note: James joins Hall of Famers Bill Russell (12), Sam Jones (11) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (10) with 10 or more NBA Finals appearances. His record is 3-6. ... James and Danny Green will become two of 15 players to play in at least one NBA Finals game for three different teams. ... The Lakers are playing in their 32nd NBA Finals, most in league history. ... Miami is in its sixth NBA Finals, all since 2006. The Heat are 3-2. ... The Heat have had a different leading scorer in each series (Goran Dragic, Jimmy Butler, Adebayo), the first team to do that since the 1999 San Antonio Spurs.

Prediction: Lakers in 5.

=====

Just fitting that these two teams are squaring off for the most unique championship in NBA history. The Lakers certainly have two of the best players in this series and the role-playing veterans with the championship experience. But there’s no team more complete, versatile and better-coached than the Heat, as proven by their playoff upset against the top-seeded Bucks.

A title this season would have so much significance to the Laker franchise and fanbase in so many ways, and the players led by LBJ are aware of this. Hope they bring this one home.
We deserve better.

Media blames Kawhi and PG for the firing of Coach Doc.

This is going to look really bad for each players' reputation.  Chokers and now coach killers. 

Funny but for me the most significant impact that they can do for next season is to get a player/leader.  Irony is that they traded one of the best a few years ago and he plays for OKC now.

I don't think there's much hate for Kawhi except from the media who got their predictions wrong and bandwagoners. Kawhi isn't even talking about anything. He already made his peace with SA, and Toronto's grateful for the championship.
