These guys just don't have chemistry without a training camp or time. Plus, they have to adjust to Lebron's game which is never easy. And, LeBron cannot be a superman consistently either.

Plus, they have a tough matchup. Indiana is showing how pro-scouting is as important or more important than drafting. They could have tanked like the Bulls or Kings losing their all stars.

The had one real young asset in Myles Turner

Yeah really no point to deal with another guy with knee injuries.Unless he accepts a one year deal ,then wouldn’t mind that.

Yup everyone thought they would tank and suck this year but look at them now. Oladipo sudden improvement made them a much better team,I’m hoping Lavine makes that type of jump.Bulls need it.

Bam really making Embiid work for position. Miami loves the physicality.

I dunno man, James Johnson is definitely way full of himself. Guy has a karate black belt and did some kickboxing matches as an amaetuer and think's he is tough as nails. I'm not buying it, personally. I like what Simmons did there.

No kidding, dude needs a shrink.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable series right here. Tough, physical, well played. Aging legends, young superstars, quality role players, tough guys. Good coaching.

McConnel has been bad, should try Fultz in the 2nd half.

So you're going to personally attack me because I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of your Little Darlings. Piss off. Worry about yourself. If you want to talk about the players okay don't personally attack me.

For trying to break up a fight? I hate guys that try to force confrontations out of nothing, which is exactly what Johnson did. That foul on Dragic was nothing, and Johnson just wanted a chance to show how much of a "tough guy" he is by trying to start something.

Simmons is arrogant as hell, but he did nothing wrong in that instance.

McConnell made a good play late there but yeah, he struggled this first half. But I doubt Fultz is ready for this level of playoff intensity, especially with no confidence in his shot, he was a non factor in Game 3 before Brown just went with McConnell.

What's the record for turnovers in a playoff game? Philly is on their way.

Also, where is his mma/kickboxing record? I can't seem to find it online, I'm calling bs on that. Even the most obscure mma fights are logged on sites like sherdog and others.
