Speedy recovery for Embiid. No excuse for us tomorrow night now.

I can't imagine Boston has any interest in flipping Brown for Simmons. I'd expect Boston to center their offer around Marcus Smart

I think it's largely a wash (upgrade of negligible value) swapping out Gordon Rovic for Lowrey. What Miami loses in height, youth, injury history and general conditioning/hygiene is maybe made up for in Lowrey's royal status (King of North Philadelphia). It's a long season and the die (regular and playoff season) has not been cast (completed to the championship stage). One to watch.imo

Simmons' value is in the crapper but I can't see a deal with Boston being possible. They're not going to trade Brown - why would you? - which leaves a pretty rubbish package for the Sixers. They could get better deals than anything involving players like Smart, Schroeder, Williams etc.

DNP - Sniffles. Seriously, this could not have been a more wonderfully worded tweet given the subject.

The problem is what would be that 2nd asset Philly could send. Maxey is the logical choice, but given how he's started the year, would not think Morey would part with him.

Could simply just be a 1st round pick.

I swear there's a longer delay now after the delay of game rule was implemented than there was before the rule. Seen players literally run into the ball with the hands in the air and the ball goes to mid court instead of hitting it back to the ref because of how stupid the rule is.

Total 4th quarter meltdown by the Nets

Crazy shot from towns to tie the game at the buzzer, basically half court. Memphis should’ve fouled

It's awesome, reads like the list of complaints provided by a 5 year old who wants to skip school.

I can't wait for 20 years from now when the doc about the Bucks dynasty comes out and Khris is inexplicably pissed that it will be mostly about Giannis and not him.

Slap a wet paper towel on him and get him back on the court, at least thats what my school nurse would do.

Was Morris playing dead or was he really hurt? Did they say what led to Jokic shoving him?

Morris takes a cheap shot, then flops and rolls around like a soccer player after Jokic retaliates. Morris is the #1 tough guy fraud in the league.

Obviously don't want any serious injuries, but for the Morris twins...I can't be overly upset.

As Jokic jumped to shoot Morris went sideways into him with an extended elbow. Right into the rib cage. It was a really cheap shot.

Spoelstra and I assume the rest of the Heat didn't think Morris' hard foul on Jokic was anything and I am laughing.

Cmon.

Surely no one believes marqueef is tough.
