Second-fewest points Denver scored all playoffs, second-worst three-point shooting, still won by double-digits.

So I was thinking about this today: the subplot of a Scrubs episode (Season 4, episode 15; aired February 2005) hinged on Dr. Cox trying desperately to avoid finding out the score of a big Lakers/Heat regular season game (billed as Shaq vs Kobe) so that he could watch a VCR taping after his hospital shift. His anticipation was such that when he later discovered that the malevolent Dr. Kelso had taped over the recording, spoiling the final score, Cox was devastated.
This would never happen today. When was the last time you recorded a regular-season basketball game with the express intent of watching it later, going so far as to avoid finding out the final score at all costs? It's the regular season, man! Chances are the teams are resting their superstars and, even if they are playing, they're likely in second gear. Butler's Heat half-ass it all season only to sneak into the playoffs through the play-in, switch on, and go on a tear to the Finals. A guy like Embiid can win the regular season MVP before wilting when it actually matters. Every year I'm reminded more and more why there's no need to pay any attention until April.
Also, what's with the Finals seeming so... small nowadays? Why are the court ads bigger than the championship round decals? Where's the gold motif of yesteryear? Where are the NBA Finals logos? Other than where it's written in a tiny bland font at the bottom of the score bug. What's with ESPN's production quality being so minimalist?
Sigh - they just don't make 'em like they used to...

That sounds a lot like the Brooklyn Nets with their big 3.

Suns have waived CP3. He's free. I think the Celtics should make an offer. He’s an experienced veteran presence I think the team could use. He’s hungry for a ring. I think he’d be a good fit coming off the bench.

How about this trade between the Celtics/Suns Celtics trade Payton Pritchard Grant Williams Malcolm Brogdon 2 draft picks In return Boston receives Kevin Durant Chris Paul Then we have Celtics starting 5 Tatum Brown KD Smart Rob Williams Bench Horford CP3 White Griffin Kornet Likely would need to add another guard in free agency

But there’s no way that the Suns are gonna trade KD for 3 bench players and a few draft picks.

Honestly, he makes a pretty good argument. I just feel like it’s pretty risky straight up swapping those 2. Smart is young. He’s got years ahead of him. CP3 could easily get hurt and miss a lot of time. I really like the idea of him on the Celtics. I just don’t think at this point in his career he should be our main PG. he’d be better off the bench.

But there’s no way that the Suns are gonna trade KD for 3 bench players and a few draft picks. You’re likely right, but I’ll make this argument. Brogdon is definitely a starter. He took on the 6th man role with Boston in hopes of winning a championship. I can definitely see him being a very capable starter. I think it’s arguable that Williams could be turned into an effective starter too. Pritchard is likely always a bench player. The other thing too is all these guys are younger and healthier. I think the Suns could get more out of them than the aging CP3 and KD. With Boston though I think they have a team where they can make their age and experience work to their advantage.

Suns wouldn't make that trade, and I don't even think it's that great for the C's. KD is always injured nowadays, and Paul has proven to do nothing in the postseason. Williams is an RFA so they'd have to do some kind of sign and trade. In your scenario, the Celtics don't have a true PG starting and everyone on the bench other than White is either useless or a million years old. Any trade for a superstar would have to involve Smart or Brown, possibly both. The roster is going to look very different next year. Williams is going to walk after being overpaid by somebody; I'm guessing Smart will be traded, with any luck so will Brown. This core has proven they can't win; they regressed this past season. But I don't see Old Man Durant as the answer, and I sure as shit don't want Chris Paul. The perfect trade partner would be Portland, but Lillard has been vocal about not coming here. Pritchard would love to be part of that deal, he's from Oregon.
