The Deuce: Yeah basically the deal the Hawks got one pick later.

NBA Playoffs - illini222 April 14, 2026, 22:22:04

lebron should sign a 1 yr deal with NYK* - John Coctostan Today, 14:07:41
Dillon Brooks was courtside to watch the Lakers get swept last night. - Sammich Today, 9:55:39
Thunder had a 17-0 run to start the 2nd Quarter. I think we can call it a wrap on that series* - JacobRDaugherty Yesterday, 22:41:05
- Noit so easy as the Lakers showed a lot of heart but no denying OKC at the end* - RSMBob Today, 0:36:33
  - Chet travelled so blatantly it was honestly impressive on that go ahead dunk - JacobRDaugherty Today, 10:46:24
Andrej with the highest vertical so far. - gullit Yesterday, 20:47:51
- Keaton with 36" vertical. - Chuck Woodaby Today, 14:19:15
  - 1” better than Andrej at this point… - DocWalk20 Today, 14:28:54
    - That settles it. Andrej needs to go back to college to work on his no step.* - Chuck Woodaby Today, 14:40:13
- Morez killed it, including on shooting drills. Have to imagine he’s pretty safely top 20* - OB25 Yesterday, 22:46:54
  - He gawn… - DocWalk20 Today, 12:48:38
- oh mai. that’s hawt* - LeatherneckIllini Yesterday, 20:55:23
I want the Bulls to trade up from 15. If they move up to 8 or so they could get a guard with star - Toonces Yesterday, 18:49:26
- There are going to be really good options at 15. I really like Chris Cenec, C from Houston. - Warrin'_Illini Today, 9:59:30
  - In the handful of Houston games I watched I never noticed him at all* - bjl63 Today, 14:19:44
  - Just don’t let him shoot 10-12 footers from the baseline* - DocWalk20 Today, 12:49:21
- That’s gotta be costly, Bulls can’t really be in the business of shipping future 1sts* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 19:07:27
  - I would definitely not trade another first to do it, though. You could build a package around - Toonces Yesterday, 20:21:03
    - Can you though? That doesn't seem very attractive to the other team in the equation. - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 21:03:33
      - Depends on the team. However, I’ve done some research and I think we can get Cam Carr @ 15. Sold.* - Toonces Yesterday, 21:43:08
    - They could very well still suck for a while and the lottery rules are changing. - OB25 Yesterday, 20:59:43
  - They could have had a pick up there if they’d done the trade with NO instead of drafting Essengue - OB25 Yesterday, 19:13:20
    - What trade was this?* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 19:27:19
      - So am I seeing move back from 12 to 24 last year and get an unprotected first this year? - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 19:37:06
        
        Yeah basically the deal the Hawks got one pick later. - OB25 Yesterday, 19:46:12
Wagler measured in at 6’5” with pretty short wingspan and standing reach numbers - OB25 Yesterday, 16:34:48
- Apparently the same measurements as Kon Knueppel - DocWalk20 Yesterday, 17:36:25
- He's only 19, growth plates could still be open. - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 16:50:44
- I guess I can just search for his wingspan and reach numbers. Tanks for nuttin' - Chuck Woodaby Yesterday, 16:47:31
  - Dots - OB25 Yesterday, 16:51:49
    - Are there any official measurements on Cam Boozer?* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 16:56:14
      - Nevermind. 6' 8 -1/4", 252 lbs.. Better wingspan and same standing reach as CW. - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 17:01:39
    - That's all I need. Thank you.* - Chuck Woodaby Yesterday, 16:55:34
I just remembered the last three times the Bulls had pick 4: - Sammich Yesterday, 13:35:23
- There’s more pick #4 magic beyond those as well… - DocWalk20 Yesterday, 15:52:05
- Seeing Marcus Fizer's name on that list is scary. He and short-necked Elton Brand made - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 14:52:48
  - Fizer was a stud in college. I thought ISU was the second best team in the country that year - DT Today, 13:49:15
  - In Fizer's defense, that draft was awful* - bjl63 Yesterday, 15:27:02
    - Also true. The Pat Williams draft was messed up by Covid as well. - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 15:30:39
- woof* - OWWDig Yesterday, 14:39:28
Ca-leb Wil-son clap clap clapclapclap. - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 8:43:21
- It seems like Dybantsa and Peterson are locked in the top 2, just need Memphis to take Boozer* - shua Yesterday, 9:18:39
  - Boozer seems like a landmine to me. I don't see an NBA game with him* - uofi1998 Yesterday, 12:10:09
    - He’ll be a good NBA player, the ceiling is the question. Ultimately… - OB25 Yesterday, 14:37:19
    - Don't rain on my parade big guy. Boozehound will be a less-headcase-y Paolo Banchero!* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 14:19:19
  - For sure. And even then if things don't go our way we'll get a rock solid 20-10 guy. - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 9:28:44
    - Besides not WOW'ing people with freakish athleticism and size, I don't really get the Boozer hate. - illinilosch Yesterday, 9:35:30
      - My only issue with him is how high is the upside? - bjl63 Yesterday, 10:52:58
      - Yeah, he's got some Jokic to his game. Good passer and playmaker too.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 9:54:52
The Knicks were 25/44 from three today. They are HURTING people * - assassin May 10, 2026, 22:43:54
Ayo is struggling. 3 straight misses at the rim* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 20:48:47
- And not a great couple of inbounds plays.* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 21:17:08
  - Had a huge 3 point play and some clutch free throws. Nice win for the wolves!* - Toonces May 10, 2026, 21:24:07
    - Yep, wild last few minutes.* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 21:26:22
  - And then an absolutely wild catch* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 21:18:09
TSJ in the middle of things making plays, hitting shots. * - IlliniRunner May 10, 2026, 20:30:44
Feels like the Spurs win this game* - JacobRDaugherty May 10, 2026, 20:16:38
- barring someone catching fire and going nuclear (Ant?), I think you're right* - OWWDig May 10, 2026, 20:18:55
Julius Randle is a taller James Harden - illini222 May 10, 2026, 20:16:06
Wemby should be ejected* - OWWDig May 10, 2026, 19:23:19
- Hard to blame him for snapping, he’s getting absolutely mugged all game long in this series* - OB25 May 10, 2026, 19:26:04
  - Yea. But he dishes too. I thought he was initially OTB on that play to begin with* - OWWDig May 10, 2026, 19:29:05
- He gone* - AintHatin May 10, 2026, 19:25:35
- That HAS to be an F2* - illinilosch May 10, 2026, 19:24:31
- Has to be* - illini222 May 10, 2026, 19:24:31
Ayo and TSJ just cannot buy baskets* - OWWDig May 10, 2026, 19:20:25
ESPN is mocking Andre and Kylan to both be drafted in the 50s. Kylan to the Bulls* - JacobRDaugherty May 10, 2026, 18:33:29
Sooo.. can Riley play with Dybansta?* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 14:25:16
- Great news for Bulls how many slots did they move up?* - gullit May 10, 2026, 14:42:16
  - 5 slots. Supposed to pick 9th, now picking 4th.* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 14:43:49
Nice, Bulls in top 4* - OB25 May 10, 2026, 14:18:29
- I'd be fine with any of the top 4. But if you go watch highlights or workout clips of Wilson... - illinilosch May 10, 2026, 20:21:53
- This is awesome. I’m at a point where I’d be disappointed if we got Boozer.* - Toonces May 10, 2026, 20:08:47
- Perfect. Avoids any Peterson discussion, hopefully* - bjl63 May 10, 2026, 18:05:36
- Wagler to Clips?* - assassin May 10, 2026, 14:43:36
- Caleb Wilson or Darius Acuff plz* - illini21 May 10, 2026, 14:36:56
  - I would be fine with Acuff at 9 but wouldn't have loved it. Think he will be a huge - JacobRDaugherty May 10, 2026, 18:13:37
  - Ditto* - bjl63 May 10, 2026, 18:05:56
  - Agreed.* - gullit May 10, 2026, 16:00:24
- Really doesn’t feel like much difference getting 4 vs. 1. I hope Caleb Wilson is there - OB25 May 10, 2026, 14:26:15
  - I don’t think Boozer will drop to 4. * - harb May 10, 2026, 16:39:06
- Bulls picking 4th* - Mrap24 May 10, 2026, 14:25:26
- Feels like a scam* - opossum jenkins May 10, 2026, 14:20:18
- And disaster outcome for the Pacers, totally wasted a perfect tank season and lose the pick* - OB25 May 10, 2026, 14:19:38
  - Truly* - John Coctostan May 10, 2026, 14:21:57
NBA Draft lottery game thread. This is at Navy Pier? Bulls with a 20% shot to get into top 3.* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 14:03:52
- Yeah bc combine starts tomorrow here in town* - Mrap24 May 10, 2026, 14:20:25
- Brutal for the Pacers.* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 14:19:41
- I guarantee that GSW gets a top 4 pick* - John Coctostan May 10, 2026, 14:05:59
  - Damn really thought they would* - John Coctostan May 10, 2026, 14:20:53
  - Damn really thought they would* - John Coctostan May 10, 2026, 14:20:48
- Wagler there and already a bunch of clips and commentary on him.* - Carl Spackler May 10, 2026, 14:05:01
I’m rooting for Minnesota, but man Wemby is getting hosed by these refs* - OB25 May 8, 2026, 23:06:53
- How he’s reffed vs SGA is kinda jarring* - John Coctostan May 8, 2026, 23:08:30
  - It’s a different body type version of what prime Shaq dealt with. - OB25 May 8, 2026, 23:18:40
  - And then those last 2 possessions. Goodness* - John Coctostan May 8, 2026, 23:16:21
Ayo really rough since coming back from the injury.* - OB25 May 8, 2026, 22:19:24
- Hello me not dead?* - OB25 May 8, 2026, 22:41:31
- TJ and Ayo having tough nights.* - OWWDig May 8, 2026, 22:39:23
  - You guys are tough. I think the Ayo, TJ and Ant "small" lineup has been fun to watch.* - Chuck Woodaby May 8, 2026, 22:42:46
    - Ayo has been awesome since I posted the original comment. - OB25 May 8, 2026, 22:59:31
    - I guess I was just talkin from a shooting standpoint. * - OWWDig May 8, 2026, 22:44:47
Had this game on a side TV and every time I look over it’s a closeup of this ref’s face* - OB25 May 8, 2026, 22:00:35
Shannon has played great D tonight, gave the 'wolves some energy, couple of - larue33 May 8, 2026, 21:40:52
It amazes me that team still think James Harden is the missing piece this time of year * - bjl63 May 7, 2026, 20:35:37
Shannon: 4 pts on 8 shots. Ayo 0 pts on 4 shots* - biclops May 6, 2026, 21:51:44
- The whole team shot like crap. I watched a lot of the 1st half and the misses weren't even close* - OWWDig May 7, 2026, 7:54:41
- They've got to figure out the rotation. Last night was a mess top to bottom.* - Warrin'_Illini May 7, 2026, 7:44:36
  - Did Ayo re-injure himself? Did he only play 10 min?* - OWWDig May 7, 2026, 10:03:36
    - Sideline reporter said he hurt his heel.* - Chuck Woodaby May 7, 2026, 11:13:35
    - I didn't hear or see anything, but they were totally out of it by halftime - Warrin'_Illini May 7, 2026, 10:16:25
      - I'm hoping it is just precautionary... and yet... they left Ant out there to embarrass himself. - uofi1998 May 7, 2026, 10:56:42
        
        fun - bad shooting performance early on.* - OWWDig May 7, 2026, 11:35:18
  - They stole a game on the road so game 2 didn't matter much, but it was def a brutal performance* - OrangeSox May 7, 2026, 8:17:47
- woof* - illini21 May 7, 2026, 7:26:41
Game is a bit different tonight * - biclops May 6, 2026, 21:37:34
Ayo is back * - jdl May 6, 2026, 21:07:36
I *heart* TJ so much. - uofi1998 May 5, 2026, 7:43:42
- Why does ob25 post here?* - JacobRDaugherty May 5, 2026, 8:55:33
  - Jeez... I didn't even click given the subject... my bad* - uofi1998 May 5, 2026, 10:39:14
    - Just giving you a hard time. I stayed up to watch the pressers live because I read - JacobRDaugherty May 5, 2026, 11:03:18
      - I wish he was in PHX (autofill)* - uofi1998 May 5, 2026, 12:10:12
- He was a man among boys in the Big Ten. Awesome to see him raise his game - Warrin'_Illini May 5, 2026, 8:43:13
LOL, shades of the 2024 UConn game plan. - OB25 May 5, 2026, 0:36:00
- It worked. They adapted how they went inside as the game went along. - JacobRDaugherty May 5, 2026, 6:12:14
Whew. Good road win* - ECEIllinois May 4, 2026, 23:13:58
If Minnesota could shoot FTs they’d have the lead* - DocWalk20 May 4, 2026, 22:33:47
- I just wish Julius Randle would assert himself more. Love seeing that guy not even consider passing* - Chuck Woodaby May 4, 2026, 23:00:07
Nice little stretch by TSJ* - ECEIllinois May 4, 2026, 22:18:56
- Yep. Finally getting some calls. Would be nice if he got the same whistle as the spurs at the rim* - Chuck Woodaby May 4, 2026, 22:22:12
- Very much so. On both ends of the court.* - DocWalk20 May 4, 2026, 22:20:17
See, just do that every transition opportunity, Minnesota.* - Carl Spackler May 4, 2026, 22:07:48
It’s completely unfair how tall Wemby is. He’s like a whole head above Rudy Gobert.* - Toonces May 4, 2026, 21:41:10
- Imagine if either of them grew the Stephon Castle. Especially Wemby. SA would never allow a point.* - Warrin'_Illini May 5, 2026, 8:38:43
I’ve always been fascinated by Stephon castle’s hair. It rises 6” off his head THEN sideshow bobs. - Toonces May 4, 2026, 21:21:54
Tough spot for MIN/SA. I love watching Wemby but also want the Illini to do well * - MC May 4, 2026, 21:18:36
Wow, the Spurs Wolves games is almost unwatchable with the court and color coordinated sections - ibdoc May 4, 2026, 20:51:58
- Looks pretty good to me.* - DocWalk20 May 4, 2026, 22:19:27
- I think you’re in the minority for that one * - MC May 4, 2026, 21:17:54
- I think it’s awesome.* - OB25 May 4, 2026, 21:14:42
Shannon has been introduced to Wemby* - biclops May 4, 2026, 20:45:33
- Clear goaltend on the second block. * - larue33 May 4, 2026, 21:04:33
- Heck of a contrast, going from playing a team with 0 rim protection... - Carl Spackler May 4, 2026, 20:57:52
Oh wow, per Shams the Bulls are hiring Atlanta Hawks svp Bryson Graham as new evp. - Warrin'_Illini May 4, 2026, 16:12:55
- Can't go wrong with hiring a guy that spent 15 years with a successful organization like the Pelican - illini222 May 4, 2026, 20:09:18
  - At least they’re used to working for terrible ownership.* - Toonces May 4, 2026, 21:06:03
Shams says Ant intent on playing tonight on tv r/n* - assassin May 4, 2026, 14:02:50
- Ayo downgraded from questionable to OUT* - assassin May 4, 2026, 14:07:19
  - I must have missed it. What exactly was his injury?* - illinilosch May 4, 2026, 14:14:17
    - calf* - assassin May 4, 2026, 14:19:27
      - Hope it's not one of those things that turns into a torn Achilles.* - uofi1998 May 4, 2026, 14:31:00
        
        FWIW he’s been dealing with this off and on for a couple of months - Ron McDon May 4, 2026, 15:33:33
  - This is a pretty brutal schedule for a second round series. Basically a game every other night unti - Warrin'_Illini May 4, 2026, 14:13:05
lol Boston gone fishin' was amazing - nash May 4, 2026, 9:33:23
Magic just fell apart. Meaningful minutes for bulls legend Javon Carter. Not ideal.* - Toonces May 3, 2026, 16:25:12
- They really missed having Franz for the last couple of games. Brutally long stretches of terrible O* - Warrin'_Illini May 4, 2026, 8:18:45
The Eastern Conference playoffs kind of feel like they’re being done just for fun at this point - OB25 May 2, 2026, 21:15:22
- The 76ers-Celtics game 7 really sucked. Just bad basketball all around. - Kajagoogoo May 2, 2026, 22:52:49
  - I think the NBA should take 8 teams from the east and west and do the play in games - JacobRDaugherty May 3, 2026, 9:09:19
  - Minny/Spurs and the winner of that series vs OKC should be good. Spurs/Okc would be a war.* - Toonces May 3, 2026, 9:00:17
    - wish you were right but minny is probably too beat up - apusikam May 3, 2026, 9:42:55
      - Getting Ayo back would be huge for them. I don’t think Ant will be back this round.* - Toonces May 3, 2026, 13:41:46
7 straight misses for Boston after getting it down to 1* - illini222 May 2, 2026, 21:00:17
- and some awful / hurried shots to boot.* - Ari Gold May 3, 2026, 11:37:38
is vuc hurt or just bad?* - Ari Gold May 2, 2026, 20:25:09
- This was the Bulls man in the middle and he can't beat out Luka Garza for minutes. Brutal. - Warrin'_Illini May 4, 2026, 8:20:07
- I think just bad - illini21 May 2, 2026, 20:47:07
This is one terrible game 7 starting lineup for the Celtics - OrangeSox May 2, 2026, 18:47:03
- Go Philly.* - Toonces May 2, 2026, 19:23:48
Looks like Ayo is out for Game 1 against San Antonio* - JacobRDaugherty May 2, 2026, 9:28:29
- Damn* - illini21 May 2, 2026, 10:12:20
  - I hope they don't play him so he doesn't tear his Achilles. He is going to get - JacobRDaugherty May 2, 2026, 10:15:52
    - Yeah, it sucks that he won’t be out there but this is his big shot to cash in. Instead we - Toonces May 2, 2026, 10:35:36
      - Brad’s ability to put dudes in the league really is impressive* - opossum jenkins May 2, 2026, 18:55:49
        
        Weber had 3 recruits play in the NBA, Groce had 2, Brad has 5 (4 if you don't want to counts Podz)* - illini222 May 2, 2026, 19:00:38
        
        I'd lean towards not counting Podz but regardless Brad is doing work - illini21 May 4, 2026, 8:21:08
What in the world is going on in these playoffs? HOU with 38 points midway through 3rd quarter* - OB25 May 1, 2026, 22:23:26
Having these games on prime while kickass hockey games are on espn is such a pain in the ass* - John Coctostan May 1, 2026, 21:16:22

- Shades of the kawhi winner* - John Coctostan May 1, 2026, 21:36:53

Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this in an NBA game* - illini21 May 1, 2026, 20:35:03
- The magic just got Outscored 55-19 in the second half - illini21 May 1, 2026, 20:40:15
  - 19 points in an entire half in a 2026 NBA game is miles worse than our 33 points against Penn State - OB25 May 1, 2026, 20:41:15
    - Especially since we only gave up 38* - QcIlliniFan May 1, 2026, 21:34:29

- Until we win a title, that discussion isn't on the table. Michigan is much closer than we are... - uofi1998 May 1, 2026, 11:43:34
  - Correct. Gotta have that ring.* - ATL May 1, 2026, 12:44:17

      - Yes. And success over different eras of CBB. * - ATL May 1, 2026, 13:56:48
Y'all realize there's a non-zero chance Ayo and TJ start together, right? - uofi1998 May 1, 2026, 10:45:09
Man, watching TSJ with a full head of steam will never get old - illini21 May 1, 2026, 8:28:38

Our twin demon Illini sons are making me very proud. Go Wolves!* - Warrin'_Illini May 1, 2026, 8:22:31
- Also, I am side-eyeing Chris Finch a little bit. He admitted in the post-game that he didn't realiz - Warrin'_Illini May 1, 2026, 10:02:57
  - Said below, but Wolves need to have him be primary outlet bringing the ball up. - Carl Spackler May 1, 2026, 10:35:31
  - I gotta say the excitement over hiring a Paxson guy is a little weird to me - CanHartlebHireSnider May 1, 2026, 10:07:09
    - The Garpax era definitely ran it's course, but he was a good evaluator of talent and has a very - Warrin'_Illini May 1, 2026, 10:18:36
      - I don’t think with a healthy Rose the Bulls are beating Lebron - CanHartlebHireSnider May 1, 2026, 10:25:18
        
        People were celebrating, me included, when GARPAX got ousted. Jim Boylen might be the worst coaching - Warrin'_Illini May 1, 2026, 10:43:53
        
        In GarPax final 3 seasons they had a .310 win % which would be 25 wins a season - CanHartlebHireSnider May 1, 2026, 10:55:17
        
        I know I'd certainly hate to have Lauri Markennen, WC jr and the Franz Wagner pick back. - Warrin'_Illini May 1, 2026, 11:09:47
        
        Thibs did well to develop guys like Jimmy and Joakim into all stars - IlliniSax05 May 1, 2026, 10:48:58

        what exactly did wendell carter do? - IlliniSax05 May 1, 2026, 11:16:20
        
        He's currently a big reason why the #8 seed are bullying the #1 seed Pistons out of the playoffs. - Warrin'_Illini May 1, 2026, 11:27:17
        
        The Magic are an 8-seed with a 4-seed roster... kinda misleading* - uofi1998 May 1, 2026, 11:47:41
        
        That's cause they got Wendell Carter Jr.!* - Warrin'_Illini May 1, 2026, 11:49:53
        
        WJ Carter* - Tortillini May 1, 2026, 13:36:42
        
        I think "bullying the #1 seed out of the playoffs" is a bit much given the series is 3-2 - IlliniSax05 May 1, 2026, 11:45:35
        
        Fine, fair enough. I'll hope you agree that AKME sucked more than GARPAX, but they - Warrin'_Illini May 1, 2026, 11:54:52
        
        yes, AKME was worse. just absolutely terrible - IlliniSax05 May 1, 2026, 12:00:53

        agreed. they looked great in the regular season(s) because Thibs coached every game like game 7 - IlliniSax05 May 1, 2026, 10:43:24
    - I would be good with the Lloyd hire. He seems really smart and well liked. - JacobRDaugherty May 1, 2026, 10:13:48
      - Calvin Johnson didn’t spend 20 years tainted by the Lions though - CanHartlebHireSnider May 1, 2026, 10:17:35
Silly me - biclops May 1, 2026, 8:09:48
What an embarrassing loss and series loss for the Nuggets.* - Carl Spackler May 1, 2026, 6:04:16

  - Cam Johnson was excellent... he is a solid player... not having Gordon hurts... - uofi1998 May 1, 2026, 10:26:04
