I don't know, but I can tell you he's a worse teammate. That punch didn't come from nowhere, and I'm sure it was on behalf of more than just Draymond. Success went to his head real quick. The Warriors need to move him.

Speaking of the Warriors, they may need to move Klay Thompson.

We're looking for a stretch 4, right? :lol:

Who does everyone want in the next round, the Celtics or the 76ers?

Coin toss. I think we match up better with the Celtics. The Sixers aren't as good defensively, but could give us big problems with their shooters and the quickness of Maxey

Rooting for the Celtics in a chess move. Chance at revenge for last year or worst case scenario we lose and Lakers advance to the Finals I give Boston a better shot to beat them than Philly.

I’d go 76ers… you want to avoid Boston at all cost cuz they say the nba will want the lakers/Celtics rivalry back in the final… philly n rivers always fall flat..

Lakers aint beating Denver. Dont even think it'll go 7 games.

Regarding Boston/ Philly, Embiid's health is always a factor and if the Sixers advance to play Mia, it wouldn't be a shocker if he's unable to play in every game.

The fact is that Kevin Durant trade didn't payof As Expected, It was a mistake, They gave up too much And now the future is compromised Unless Chris Paul and Deandre trade bring Very good Players back


Not easy to do a mid season transformation and have it translate to deep postseason success.

I always thought Phoenix would be a year away after trading for Durant to reshape the roster and to build chemistry.

Just a feeling, i think Monty gets fired.

Called it.. monty fired.. this after Durant just said he likes playing for him

Got coach of the year twice and went to a nba finals in four years with the Suns. Resume aint good enough, for the rich white guy calling the shots

Expected considering the new owner is gonna want to make HIS own pick for HC, not to mention trading for KD significantly ramps up the expectations. Doesn't make this move any less lazy though....so long as the roster lacks depth, PHX season will end the same way doesn't matter who the coach is.

Trying to take the easy route never goes as planned. I concede Philly is the more favorable matchup, but going through the tougher team better prepares you for whoever is left standing.
