Push coming to shovel
Some big big Game 3s about to happen.

If Knicks win, they are probably getting the Bucks with Giannis back? & Dame starting to really ball.
If Cavs win, that would be our R2 opponent.

We can play these games.
THE BOSTON CELTICS CANNOT!
Stay TOTALLY focused - STOMP THE HEAT MOTHER **** IN 4 - GAME BY GAME!

Why would the Sixers trade their star player for worse than a role player. I said the other day we should trade #7 for Thompson and Chris Paul ASAP :roll:

I would take any reasonable return.

Philly choked away my upset prediction. How unfortunate.

Rambling article about how 3 Knicks starters were college teammates. (Hart, Brunson, DDV, Villanova)

The one who redshirted his first year nonetheless contributed to a huge win by scout-teaming a superstar opposing player. (DDV)

The player?

Buddy Hield.

It’s painfully clear Hield isn’t a winning player. First time being on a halfway decent team & he’s a net negative player on both ends of the floor

The league is pretty determined to help LeBron this year and he's got a good team around him.

Nuggets are shooting 26% percent from three. It is hard to win games when you shoot that poorly from three. Only MPJ is making threes for them.

Combined 6 pts, 3/16 from your starting backcourt, 0/5 from 3 is rough.

0/11 total from their guards, incl. bench.

I don't watch all of their games but I don't remember a time when joker looked off so many buckets he could easily make. AD is bothering him a lot.
