Yes, but to be fair 53-29 should not be good enough for a 1 seed. Most years that is how many wins the 3 seed has.

IMO, it is more of an indictment of how Cleveland finished the season than it is of Boston's team. The Cavs absolutely choked away the 1 seed.

If you started a franchise and the NBA said you could have any player to build said franchise, who would you choose?

[SdK]

Anthony Davis

[SdK]

If I can add more, I'd say an all UK lineup and ask if the rest of the team's just want to forfeit.

[SdK]

Davis
Cousins
Monk
Fox
Booker
Wall
Bledsoe
Anthony-Towns
Jamal Murray
Poythress
Randle
Kanter

This is the correct answer.

Kelly Ooobray Jr., what an embarrassment.  KU trash gonna KU trash I guess.

[SdK]

What did he do?

[_33]

I was fine with it.  I hate Kelly Olynyk though.  lol they were both named Kelly.

[TownieCat]

Olynyk took that hit/push like a bitch.

There are several very hate-able players involved in this series, but Smart and Olynyk are #1 and #2.

[SdK]

Kinda looked to me like Olynyk gave a forearm to the head. Either way it was a stupid play by Oubre. I do enjoy that instead of huffing and puffing Kelly actually did something physical. Will hurt his team though. What a bonehead.

I absolutely HATE the replay rule for technical fouls, but Olynyk would have received one for his screen if this had been a college game. It will be interesting to see if the NBA suspends Oubre or not. He deserved to be ejected, but it was a shove to the chest and not a punch. That should be taken into account.

[SdK]

Kelly should not be suspended, either of them. Play on. The NBA needs the drama.

[Brock Landers]

They both flopped.  Olynyk is more hateable and also has a man bun so he probably deserved it.

[Trim]

Olynyk's always done right by me.  Good work, Olynyk.

First time I have seen a guy "flop" and get up wanting to fight like that.

Olynyk is listed at 7'0 240 and Oubre tossed him like a rag doll. Everyone associated with the Celtics should be embarrassed.

Oubre wasn't at KU long enough and didn't really have much of an impact while he was there for me to dislike him. Until the playoffs started I had completely forgotten about him.

[Trim]

100% trying to skype or whatever towniecat this summer w/olynyk in tow.
