Oh we love the doubters. We will definitely be proving you wrong. You might end up regretting the matchup you’re asking for. Don’t forget which team won our best-of-3 2K set.

the grind offense slows down the pace considerably but its probably the best strategy for wack. He doesn't have the offensive fire power to match teams so he just tries to muck the game up.

It didn't take long for Nerlens to foul out, but Stellar combined effort from new acquisition Robin Lopez (13pts, 5rebs, 1stl, 1blk), and veteran big Derrick Favors (17pts) for stepping up in Embiid's absence. Somehow you just know Moses is gonna drop 40, and preparing for that ain't easy. Very happy to get the win in OKC.

Dem Warrior Boyz continue to collectively thrive and bring the best out of me.

Russ is gonna stop playing like ass soon and imma go streaking. Need it to be sooner than later though.

Good game. Team is tough without the big man.

IDK if it's good or bad lol. 30/11 Moses might be able to lead us to something.

its interesting scenario for sure. Your current strategy is maximizing Moses' game and really filtering the offense through him (rightfully so with those numbers). Yet that style might not be most conducive for Russell to thrive. But if Moses is putting up 40/15 games on the reg hard to change that strategy.

The defense is a bigger issue tbh. We should be winning with these explosions against these good teams. The win against Portland was big but every other game is a close loss, maybe the talent just ain't there.

And I thought minimizing outside shots would be great for Russ but I guess the lanes are clogged. Really want to figure out how to get Russ over 20 ppg and 10 apg like this though.

Stop forcing the banter. Let it come naturally. You sound like a bot the way you be on repeat. Yes, yes…the whole BaF fam knows I haven’t been out the 1st round yet. But you down bad and need some new material.

BOS doesn't own its own 1st. Not really a tank job just tore everything down and has so much dead cap space and finally will have freedom next year.
