It has been my experience that promotions can only happen when someone leaves. And it looks like the Rockets are preparing for Gersson Rosas to leave Texas. https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2019/04/03/gersson-rosas-houston-rockets-gm-wizards/ 17 years is a decent amount of time with 1 team, time to move on maybe? His name is being tossed around all over the the place. Maybe I will see him here in DC! This is why Stone and Witus are getting promoted. They're about to pick up the extra duties of Rosas when he vacates the position. Minnesota was granted permission to interview him. https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2019/04/16/timberwolves-eyeing-rockets-vp-gersson-rosas-for-front-office-job/ | ||

JJ has to be KD because of the multi accounts! 30 days seemed really over the top, but what are you gonna do. 3 possible close outs tonight I think Raps and 76rs will. Hopefully Portland too but I could see OKC taking another game, not sure that the series is gonna finish in 5, it feels like it could be 7. | ||

They are interviewing Jason Kidd. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26587748/kidd-interviewed-lakers-vacancy-sources I think Jason Kidd should spend some time as an assistant coach before getting another head coaching job. Raptors Outdoor Viewing If TV cameras show a massive outdoor audience keep in mind the Toronto Maple Leafs have game 7 of an NHL playoff game being shown outdoors. We are probably going to see one of the biggest outdoor audiences ever, but it is not all because of the Raptors. You will probably see a lot of blue and white in the crowd as opposed to Raptors red and black. | ||

If you want to talk about JJR having alt accounts, then create a website feedback thread or PM me. Every infraction from this point on will be an immediate temp ban. Sounds good. Can we also make WWE discussion a temp ban in the NBA thread? | ||

As usual in the nba the favs win. In east its almost always the top 4 in the west once and a while a 5 seed wins (NO mixed it up as the only 6 seed(or worse) in the last 5 years). Now its thunder dome time. Come on game 7's | ||

twitter.com Unlike every other team in the NBA the Toronto Raptors get their own home broadcasting team covering the games. It will also be on TNT Saturday evening. Best Defenders During The Regular Season Last year, the NBA's All-defensive First Team and Second Team very closely lined up with best ESPN Defensive Real Plus Minus ratings for starters at each position. Last year, the 10 players on the 2 NBA All-Defensive teams were very good defenders. With that in mind, let's take a look at the starters with the best ESPN DRPM in 2019 on a position-by-position basis. Point Guard Chris Paul ( Hou ) , Derrick White ( SA ) , Kyle Lowry ( TOR ) , Marcus Smart ( BOS ) Shooting Guard Danny Green ( TOR ) , Jimmy Butler ( Phil ) , Victor Oladipo ( Ind ) , Garry Harris ( Den ) Small Forward Robert Covington ( Min ) , Paul George ( OKC ) , Kyle Anderson ( Mem ) Power Forward Draymond Green ( GS ) , Antetokounmpo ( Mil ) , Paul Millsap ( DEN ) , Derrick Favors ( UTA ) Center Rudy Gobert ( UTA ) , Anthony Davis ( NO ) , Nikola Vucevic ( ORL ) , Miles Turner ( IND ) , Brook Lopez ( MIL ) Source | ||

Come on game 7's I realize I am extremely biased, but I feel like in all of the Den-SA games I've watched,there have been stretches of 5-6 plays where the refs absolutely hose the spurs. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this. | ||

I have not watched enough of the games tbh, between all the hockey and the raptors I've only been able to catch a few quarters of the spurs vs nuggets but I should catch the next 1 (maybe 2) | ||

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this. The officials are not perfect and they miss stuff. Its an impossible game to officiate perfectly. There were problems in the Orlando//Toronto series as well. meh. i pretty much agree with Windhorst here. The whining, complaining and theatrics is getting over the top. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26585590/nba-action-fantastic-constant-griping | ||
