Klay has 50 points with six minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Danny screwed up by not trading Young for him earlier this season.

No, the real screw up is Boston not trading for Curry this season. It's more believable than some of those other made up deals Boston media comes up with on a yearly basis that don't end up coming true.

I disagree, the top 5 teams in the East standings have notably improved. Other teams are young and improving, have injuries, or in obvious tank mode. Overall, the East has improved. A healthy Simmons would have the Sixers at close to .500. Teams in the West are mostly the same with some obvious youth and tanking going on. Overall the parity is close to an all time high imo.

60 points in 29 minutes is insane. Holy crap.

Klay needs his own team someday. Hopefully it's us.

With IT collapsing defenses and kicking it out to Klay, that would be ECF worthy. It's weird to say it because IT has been doing that very thing with AB rather successfully. But, AB is not defending like Klay is or he has in the past. He's also just not as good getting his shot off. Klay is just elite moving around and giving himself a chance to shoot from beyond the arc plus he jacks them up with confidence even when covered unlike AB. I'm sure his height helps but I think he's just been playing like that for awhile, whereas AB started last season. I sometimes think IT presses to do too much. It'd be interesting to see how much his efficiency might improve playing with a guy like Klay.

BJ Armstrong could very well be the worst agent in the history of the NBA. We all know how he pulled Javale out of Boston in 2015 last minute because he wanted the 2nd year of the deal to be a player option. And then in the summer, Javale would go on to sign with the Mavs for the exact same deal the Celtics offered. And today, he's got Motiejunas refusing to report to the Rockets. What is BJ smoking? Lol

Knicks about to have the same record as us. Don't know why it felt like they suck more than that. Ahh well, they still are trash anyway, don't care...

The end of every 76ers game is the same and has been for years now.

Simmons would change all that. 1 on 1 break down the defense and create.

While I am in no way rooting for the Warriors this year (in fact, I want them to fail miserably), I hope they destroy the Clipps tonight.

Clip city, **** city.

That's no fun, I want to see one more contender in the league. Doubtful it's the Clipps but, it theoretically could be. Where the hell is Van Gundy by the way? I don't want Mark Jackson and this jabroni.

Didn't Balmer allegedly cry at the KD meeting lmao?

Clippers dropping their nuts on their homecourt. Pathetic.

Meanwhile, the Clippers commentator is nut hugging the Warriors offense.

Can we get a mini Doc cam in the corner of the screen to at least make this worth while?

If KD had pulled out his schlong and told him to deep throat it, and i'll join you, Balmer would have complied.

Starting to look like it might actually be a game.
