ATL - Embiid Returns

Luka is going to be 400 lbs after he retires. I have no idea how you can be that heavy doing that much cardio especially with the additional flopping.

We should rewrite the rule
Guess he lives on Hypocrisy Road

Who is "everyone?" Go talk to them about it.

Note to Booker: know when the guy you’re defending, like Brunson, is left-handed.

I’ve realized I hate every team left. I want DAL to win and I like how this series is unfolding, but it’s only because I dislike the Suns slightly more than DAL.

Every team just seem so whiny. When their backs are against the wall, they complain about the refs. It’s tired.

DAL crowd is what a playoff crowd should look/sound like.

Genuinely torn between the desire to have my parity thesis reinforced and rooting for the Mavs.

Where's Chris Eubank when you need him? One good punch would keep us from **** rhyming.

The Suns and Warriors still scare me even if we have Middleton. I would like our chances though.

Boston/Philly/Miami would likely all get smoked if we had Middleton. I feel like we would miss Middleton more vs Miami than we do against Boston.

Do you believe our defense would be as good as it has been lately with Middleton in there? Our ball movement? I hope it would be but I’m not so sure.

Jason Kidd----maybe not the antichrist as a coach.

The Kidd Effect might indeed be like the Skiles and Thibs Effect. We definitely overachieved his first year here when we went from 15-to-41 wins. Maybe he's learned as a coach, or maybe this is just the short honeymoon period before everyone figures him out again.

Kidd overstepped his role with the Bucks & benefitted from cronyism of being Lasry's buddy. In Dallas, Cuban has more power over him, having been his boss before.

Kokoskov was done dirty by Phoenix. I suspect that he, like Prunty is very responsible for what the Mavs do on the floor. As is Sweeney of course.

You're not allowed to say that around here.

The SPLASH guy needs to learn a thing or two from Breen and save it for important moments if he wants to create a catchphrase.

Lowry looks like he's been on the Zion diet

PG Graveyard · Post #1897 » by **PG Graveyard** » Mon May 9, 2022 12:50 am

In a league full of floppers Kyle Lowry takes it to a clownish level. He’s a fat joke at this point

The Sixers are clearly way more talented than the Heat but they are still in my opinion a far better match up for us.
In any way I just hope they have a long series at the least.

Would you guys rather face MIA or PHI?

Miami by a mile. They are frauds imo and if we have Khris by then they don't concern me whatsoever. Their half court offense sucks, the Bucks would completely clamp them.

Just hoping the Khris injury doesn't cost us in the current series and they can get through Boston. Boston's our toughest test imo, probably including any of the West teams too.
