NBA: Playoffs-Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors

We’ve got two NBA Playoff games tonight. Let’s get right to it.

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Miami Heat – 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET

  • Cavs lead the series 3-0
  • Get the broom out.

Houston Rockets @ Golden State Warriors – 7:00 PM PT / 10:00 PM ET

  • Warriors lead the series 2-1
  • Jimmy Butler is expected to return to the lineup tonight.

I’m gonna start tossing an NBA question here at the end. Let’s call this segment things I waste time thinking about when I should be thinking about more important things, or TIWTTAWISBTAMIT for short.

What are the Milwaukee Bucks supposed to do at this point? Giannis is delivering to the extent you can reasonably expect him to given his roster, which was already flawed, and now Damian Lillard is going to miss a ton of time after suffering a torn left Achilles tendon. Do you have to trade Giannis at this point? Dame is owed $54 million next year with a $58 million player option the year after that. I don’t know how this team is supposed to improve from here.

OT: Shaqramento kinda back?

FROM SHAMS:Shaquille O'Neal has agreed to become the men's basketball general manager of Sacramento State, sources tell ESPN. It will be a voluntary role for Shaq, whose son, Shaqir O'Neal, also plays for Sac State under Mike Bibby. Shaq and Bibby form a star duo as college GM and coach.

Ooof! I just checked the scores…

Cle:46 Mia: 17 shortly into the 2nd Q.

Would the Heat fire Spoelstra? If so, would he come to Sacramento?

Ok… nevermind. I went off on a fantasy tangent…

Warriors-Rockets, Game 4, the best game I’ve seen in a long time.

Playoff Jimmy and Playoff Draymond closed it out. Buddy playing the way that Luke tried to get him to do.
