Another great night for the Sam Presti claim to fame as the best AAA affiliate in the NBA.
The Clippers without Kawhi Leonard stunned the NBA world by coming back from a 25 point second half deficit to win their second round series and advance to play the Phoenix Suns in the conference finals.
Thus, in the West we’ll have the Chris Paul-Cam Payne Suns taking on the Paul George-Reggie Jackson Clippers.
For all of us who have ever dissed Reggie Jackson it’s a day of reckoning as I thought he was the Clips’ MVP in this game even with Terrance Mann scoring 39 points.
So in the West…we’ll have two teams laden with Sam Presti all over their competitive makeup. While in the East if the Nets can win Game 7 tonight at home we’ll have the Durant-Hardenp-Green trifecta.
Three of the Final Four teams could have Oklahoma City DNA all over their post season relevance this June.
And then to make things even better…Sam Presti unloaded Big Al Horford’s contract to the Celtics for Kemba Walker’s equally horrible contract and extracted Boston’s first round pick in this upcoming draft as well.
It was a vintage Sam Presti Day and I’m certain David Stern has a smile on his face in hoops heaven.
