Brunsons playmaking this 4th has been pretty awful. Knicks have just been killing Philly on the boards.

Precious Achiuwa is my favorite defensive player in the NBA today.
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

76ers and Bucks are done for the foreseeable future.

Celtics dynasty is back on, even if they don't win the title this year. East has become a joke again. Hopefully they move Minny to the East to make up for the lack of quality.

Uhh... you have to actually win a ring first to be called a dynasty. One Finals appearance from Tatum/Brown isn't going to cut it.

They are bound to win one or a couple considering how often they will get to the finals

And when they do that, we can start talking about dynasties...

Bucks look railed with injuries.

I don't know what got into Brunson but he looks MVP material out there. The Knicks-76ers series was solid.

That's been said about plenty of teams over the years that have gone on to win 0. I like the Nuggets' chances of building a dynasty much better than the Celtics'.

Mavs go on a run and Luka still intent on slowing it down and pounding the rock.

Hell yeah Minnesota, 2nd ever 2nd round.

I was concerned about the Phoenix matchup, but they handled it extremely well.

Ouch Finch, get well soon.

No clue, I'm fanning it up and will enjoy each round as they come.

Nah, Denver should still be favorites--it is hard to win a series when you don't have the best basketball player.

But, big but, Anthony Edwards was exceptional against Denver last year in the post-season.

He was and Murray had a great series...............w/ no Jaden Mcdaniels playing. complete different ball game.

If I were the Nuggets, I wouldn't be worrying as much about Ant as I would Murray. He's looked terrible against Austin Reaves and if they advance, he'd be going up against the defense of McDaniels, Edwards and NAW. Plus, it looks like he's hurt again.
