It's not just that Magic quit, it sure sounds like he didn't tell anyone he was going to do it, literally anyone... and just called a press conference and quit. Said he hasn't told Jeanie Buss yet.
Not sure I've ever seen a front office person in any sport do that. Real trainwreck quality stuff right there. [Reply]
Fitting ending to the Magic era. I have no idea what he was trying to do with the Lakers team this year. Rondo, Javale, KCP, Lance Stephenson? What a disaster.
You could say that he left the positive mark of just getting LeBron to LA, but LeBron was going there anyway regardless of who was running the team. Looks like it's time for LeBron/Rich Paul to start running the Lakers. [Reply]

As much as I love the Blazers I would be very happy to win the first round this year. If Nurkic hadn't broken his leg we might make some real noise but I don't see it happening. Sadly.
But really, the Clippers over the Warriors? If there is an upset in the first round in the West it will be Spurs over the Nuggets, imo. [Reply]

I'll admit that I'm a homer, and born and raised by Milwaukee. So Fear the Deer. And a few years ago when making picks I just started going with who I like. If I hate Duke, and I pick them to win, it's empty if they win or they lose. So I only pick the team that I like, don't mind, or the lesser of evils [Reply]
