Prince and Kuzma combined 0 points. Bucks need a major trade in the offseason.
That was a stressful game as a nuggets fan, it’s going to be a fun series tho.
Bucks either need to defend much better or someone outside of Giannis needs to sbe able to score. They need Dame out there so badly.

Victor Wembanyama wouldn't get into specifics about his recovery from a blood clot in his right shoulder but said he's already doing on-court work in a controlled setting.
Glad to see his recovery coming along well!

www.nytimes.com Damian Lillard cleared of blood clots in calf, back at Bucks practice ahead of playoffs
Lillard remains out for Game 1 of the Bucks' first-round series against the Pacers, but his status for Game 2 is unclear.
Happy he’s healthy and has a chance to play this post season. I really thought he was done for the year given the timelines on other players but I know it really just depends on how fast it clears.
He was a full participant in practice today which is a great sign for him coming back in the first round.
Sent, thanks again!
I have a magnezone and eleektross I can trade for the ditto and Articuno! I’ll send the first trade!
Sent darkrai for the Glaceon! I also realized I have a mamoswine if you want to send Articuno after.
No worries and I’ll take carnivine and glaceon, just sent a friend request!

Lol I was still reading about the David Griffin firing when it popped up so I was quick.
Not surprised by this one but still crazy to go through 3 coaches in 3 years. Shoutout to the coaches union for getting these guys guaranteed contracts because there is 0 job security outside of Pop, Kerr, and probably Spo.
www.nytimes.com Phoenix Suns fire coach Mike Budenholzer after one season: Sources
Mat Ishbia has made coaching changes in each of the three offseasons since he took ownership of the Suns.
The decision, which comes less than one year after the team hired Budenholzer on a five-year deal worth more than $50 million
Ishbia, the billionaire mortgage lender who assumed controlling ownership of the Suns in February 2023, has made coaching changes in each of the three offseasons since he took over. It started with Monty Williams after the 2022-23 campaign, which ended with a second-round playoff defeat. The Suns hired Frank Vogel to lead the bench in 2023-24 but let him go after another slip, a first-round sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

A season marked by shocking trades and stunning coach firings came down to the final day for six Western teams to learn their fates.

The East bracket is set. The West's ... is not. Meanwhile, lottery races across the league will be decided Sunday.
Accounting for teams probably resting players if they have nothing to play for the main matchup is Clippers at Warriors to decide what will probably be 5/6.
Anything can happen tho since bench players will still try to win games!

www.nytimes.com Inside Nuggets’ ‘cold war’ that led to firing both Michael Malone, Calvin Booth
Why did the Nuggets choose to fire both coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth? And more importantly, why now?
Some excerpts:
The strained relationship between Booth and Malone, who had been at odds for most of their previous five years together, was making matters even worse for everyone underneath them. Jokić’s brilliance had been dimmed by these dynamics for far too long, with some of his most magnificent performances coming during this recent stretch of misery in which the team lost 13 of 23 games.
So Booth, according to league and team sources, told people close to him that it was time for Malone to go. This wasn’t the first time Booth had felt this way, either, as team sources say Booth considered firing Malone heading into the 2023 championship run.
Even with the friction that had festered more than ever this season, this was an extraordinary stance to take. The Nuggets were two years removed from the franchise’s first title, and two years away from the end of Malone’s contract that, per league sources, averaged more than $10 million annually.
Still, Booth, the 48-year-old former NBA

Given the poor defensive effort this season and the line about not watching film I’m guessing there is some truth to Malone having lost the locker room at least partially.
If that’s the case and given their poor play post all star break they might think it’s not looking good, especially if Murray’s hamstring is going to be an issue still.
They probably figured they might as well try Adelman at head coach to see how he might fit in any future plans and sometimes a shakeup at coach does jolt the players but I don't think you can really get an accurate idea of his abilities given how late he’s taking over but I’m guessing that’s their logic.
Crazy, Mike has been a solid coach so that’s really surprising and worrying. I have a bad feeling.
Booth I’ve had complaints about so that’s more understandable but still questionable timing.
Edit: hearing reports he lost the locker room. I saw someone share a clip from a recent game where he said he can’t get the players to watch film, which if true, makes a lot more sense on the timing.
