Go Celtics. Wanna know why ? Because, I was a huge Luka fan, but now, I think he is the biggest whining b!tch, I have ever seen in the NBA. That's saying something, because I used to think LeBron was and Luka tops him

As long as Luka puts up 32/9/9 I don't care if he gets into fetal position on the Leprechaun at Boston.

If you are betting on him, I understand, but Luka has made me despise him, this year. I still bet on him, but Kyrie and Lively have won me, more money in this playoff.

NBA has treated me pretty well this year.

Been doing this 4/4/4/4 strategy where I pick 4 guys to either get 4 rebounds/or 4 assist. Usually make it around +100 +150 to double my money and it usually works out.

Just use ESPN to look at the last 10 games to see how often they cover it. Playoffs been a littler easier for scoring since the best player usually scores the most in the postseason lol

It would really benefit Tennessee if Danny Hurley takes the Lakers job. The UConn basketball program will take a step back with the change in coaches. Jordan Copas, from the Tennessee Volunteers Men's Basketball Fans, also has an interesting take on Hurley leaving UConn that could be a huge plus for the Vols.
Jordan Copas says, "I really wish Dan Hurley would leave UConn to go to the Lakers! Following Ahmad "Mod" Nowell's high School career at Imhotep in Philadelphia he would be the perfect point guard to come to TN. And in my interview w Mod & his trainer I was blown away by his humility, the hunger to win to learn & his overall seriousness & respect for the game. And he's a high character individual, big reason TN was all in on his recruitment! TN was a close 2nd to UConn for his commitment, and it was not a long shot 2nd - TN was heavily favored for a long time. I believe if the 2x championship coach leaves UConn, then Ahmad leaves UConn as well bc he chose UConn to play for a proven winner & hes been a winner all through HS."
Jordan goes on to say, "Just my hopes & might be a long shot. No proof that Hurley actually takes the long term lucrative contract offer to coach the Lakers, and no proof that Ahmad would leave UConn if the coach leaves. Just my hopes to have him come in as a freshman to learn from the great Zeigler for a year. Mod is a good one."

Nice thoughts and statements here.

I hope Hurley leaves because he's too dominant, he's created a system of big men that can do everything.

Would like to get Nowell, I'd feel a bit more comfortable with another PG on the roster

We wouldn’t rule out some recruiting activity down the road this summer after the July evaluation period, but the focus at the moment is about to turn strongly towards summer workouts. On Thursday the Vols had their first full team meeting with the entire squad—minutes Igor Milicic who is playing with his national team—where expectations for the summer where communicated.

The offseason has always been a big deal in the Tennessee program under Barnes given the track record they have had with player development. This is the time of year where one player after another in this program has taken some big steps. Player development is still a priority, but with the influx of multiple transfers becoming the norm every offseason, building team chemistry and figuring out how all of the pieces fit together has become more and more of a focal point for the coaching staff.

Tennessee obviously did a nice job of that last offseason, but the Vols also benefitted from being able to take that overseas trip to Italy for three games. That won’t be the case this summer and the staff will be looking to work in even more new faces who are going to be contributors than this time last year. Without going overboard based off of a small sample size, the early returns on all the transfers have been positive.

Milicic is a legit 6-foot-10 and has really impressed with his outside stroke. Darlinstone Dubar isn’t quite as tall as the 6-foot-8 he was listed at Hofstra, but he’s impressed with his athleticism, wiry strength and outside shot. With the entire team (minus Milicic) in place now they have this final weekend off before offseason workouts begin in earnest on Monday morning.

Seems like Hurley is making a mistake if he takes the Lakers job.

People really underestimate how much power the players have in the NBA. Not to mention LeBron pretty much manages the Lakers any way.

He’s at a much better situation without having to manage a bunch of divas.

Man, when you watch his film he looks all of 6-8. Maybe it's just his physicality. Dude looks bigger JJJ. I'm ready for updated roster
