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!

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

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

This Lakers team has absolutely no chance against the Nuggets.

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.
