It's that kind of garbage that convinces people the whole thing is rigged. What a disgrace.

[Negrodamus]

Brunson killing these dudes. Luckily we have our own future Brunson (McCain).

Please stop. I'll be thrilled if McCain becomes a reliable rotation guard or better yet a microwave 6th man type player.

I am incapable of stopping. The future is here.

[Stanford]

I'm also in on McCain as a top 30 player. **** it.

[Iverson Armband]

I don’t know how anyone could watch McCain this year and not be irrationally high on him as a Sixers fan. He would have been the run away ROY. “Hoping” he will just be a rotational guard after what he showed is ridiculous.

'Irrationally' being the operative word.

That’s what fans are. Irrational lol. Same reason there’s still fans who think there’s any hope for Embiid.

Celtics losing is so good. Would love for the Pacers to somehow pull out a sweep of the Bucks, but I doubt that's going to happen.

Tobias Harris doing what he does in the postseason. He'll start out fine in game one, by game two He'll make a few costly mistakes and get all passive, by game three he will completely disappear, zero points at halftime and it'll only get worse from there. Detroit fans will turn on him by game five after he checks out. Look I like Tobias. Always have, but he has never been able to overcome the mental hurdles of playoff basketball. I have always rooted for him, but what his current collapse in this specific game three tonight is exactly why we had to be done with him.

It's crazy at one point we had him and Simmons in our starting line-up, leaning on them while paying each close to $40M per season and they're two of the most timid players the league has ever seen. It was never going to work.

Celtics are banged up and just dropped a crucial game against the Magic. Knick are fake, Bucks are trying to keep their head's above water. Could be the Cavs coming out of the East which would be wild.

In the West, it really feels like it's OKC's to lose, but if Kawhi can stay healthy, I'll never count out the Clippers. Very strange year in terms of historical context of these teams, lol.

[Negrodamus]

You know Nico Harrison is feeling vindicated watching this Clippers game.

Celtics vs. Magic:
- The Celtics targeted Corey Joseph and Wendell Carter, with Tatum and Porzingis repeatedly hunting those matchups. Jaylen Brown occasionally targeted KCP but was forced left consistently by the Magic defense.
- Late in the game, the Magic substituted Gary Harris for Corey Joseph to tighten up defensively.
- On the other end, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner hunted Al Horford and Porzingis, attacking them on switches.
- The Magic sealed the win with two straight drives by Wagner against Porzingis and crucial putbacks from Wendell Carter.
- Despite favorable matchups, Tatum and Porzingis struggled to score down the stretch.

[76ciology]

The league now allows defenders to fight through screens more aggressively, leading to more matchup hunting and isolation-heavy offenses.

The Warriors are countering this trend with complex split actions, making it difficult for defenses to stay connected.

Defensively, the Warriors are letting the Rockets settle for floaters, especially from Sengun and Amen Thompson. Knowing Houston struggles from three, they’re taking away shots at the rim and living with contested looks from 3 to 10 feet.

Steph Curry just now passing Tony Parker in playoff points is baffling to my brain

If you want to hear something sick, LeBron has more than twice the amount of playoff points as Steph.

LeBron has so many points, I don't know if anyone will catch that number:

1) LeBron - 8240
2) MJ - 5987

[76ciology]

Rockets has to trade for Embiid or KD.

[76ciology]

Jokic and Wemby are both in your conference while you are starting Sengun and Donatas Sabonis? Both guys have to go

[Sixteen]

I want the Lakers to win it all but part of me thinks they'll be one of the few teams who could panic trade after elimination for Paul George if he rebuilds some of his value back.
