If Mitchell could lead a team by himself to at least a second round win, he can be the next Scottie Pippen on another team.

Kevon Looney played through pain like that in the 2019 Finals. Not sure if he got a shot for pain or not , and it was collarbone not ribs, but I remember him really toughing it out

It's not about how much money players make. No one gives a crap what the owners give them. It's really about the % against the cap that all fans worried about.

I'm hoping Brunson and Randle trims a little off so we can build our depth.


Rising cap makes these 40-45 per players easier to manage the salary situations. If you're trusting the FO, they probably already mapped all this out to stay off the 2nd apron.


Yes I trust Brock Aller to work on his magic. I am hoping for one or two more offseason with him before he gets a higher position.

I wouldn’t want an injection when I know the team is going nowhere.
Prefer to save my liver for my later years.
Maybe a cannabis infusion. :wink:

In other news, board changed quick on unstoppable OKC and a bit on Timberwolves.

It really sucks having to listen to Celtics fans mention how their team is going to stomp the Knicks if they move on to the conference finals.

I have had a ripcage contusion last year as well. The pain is bad---I tried to play ball with it a couple times but you are like at 50% effectiveness, forget playing anything resembling defense, you literally can't even take the slightest hits at all.....and every hit on it makes it worse as well....so yes good call by Allen IMO. I knew the moment they announced the injury that he was done for the playoffs....it is a very very slow healing thing. Needed two months for me to resolve.

BTW...I have been watching the NBA for 30+ years now....injuries have always been part of the season and playoffs but I don't remember it ever being as bad as today, right?

It almost feels like if you have a relatively healthy roster in the playoffs, you are the rare exception...and I'm not talking an injury to the 8th guy, like multiple guys as well as your best players are either out or banged up. Thinking back at the 90s I remember on most postseasons the teams managed to have their top guys available...not always of course but it didn't feel like out of the top 5 of a conference only 1 or 2 would be relatively healthy.

Yeah, it is no coincidence that the only playoff team in the East that has had their top two guys fully healthy happens to be the only one in the conference finals.
