It's a good thing these sort of news do not happen in Boston.
Imagine that, LeBron chooses to take his 'talents' to Beantown and teams up again with Kyrie, and Kyrie tells Ainge - 'Trade me, again, pleeeez!' That would be a nightmare worse than the baddest Hellraiser movie.
Saw highlights of that game. Doc is getting good mileage from erstwhile unheard of players like Harrell, Thornwell, and a Euro redwood tree who was dunking without jumping.

Many Clipper fans thought Doc was not a good coach. This year is his best performance as a coach since he joined LAC, taking little known players, even G-Leaugers, and carving out a winning record.
No title hopes for the team but the Clippers have been fun to watch this year as they play hard every game and have managed to win more than they lose.
Sometimes even I have to look at the roster to remember the names of the players though.
I'd be OK with the Raptors or the Celtics out of the East.
Haven't liked the Rockets for a while since I have never been a James Harden fan. Can't really bring myself to root for Chris Paul yet either for some strange reason.
Rockets are the obvious choice in the West if the Warriors falter though. Even I can't deny that.
So, if the Warriors or Rockets come out of the West (that seems unavoidable), I would have to root for the underdog East team in the finals.
However, Warriors - Rockets series for the Western Conference title would be fun to watch. Scores in those games could total over 300 points.
A Raptors - Cavaliers second round matchup would be nice.
Toronto has always been strong the last few years, except that Lowry usually seem to disappear come playoff time. The tandem of Lowry and DeRozan can play long minutes in a game, and in their bench, I virtually do not know anybody. Their first 5 is solid.
It is very hard to limit the points off the Rockets. Like the Warriors, it is well oiled shooting machine.
I would not count out Cleveland just yet, as Love and Tristan are still on the injured list. LeBron claims he has a different mindset come playoffs.
My forecast is Raptors-Warriors, and the Bay Area fans walk the parade again.
