- The Bridges albatross contract kicks in next year.
- Ayton's max looms this summer.

I agree that’s the end of the Suns for now. And Ayton is as good as gone.

THJ and Kleber would be a nice return.

Side note: Jason Kidd well on the way to redeeming himself as a coach after a couple of rough previous stops.

So..........The dog value of Booker/CP3 went to -10? no?

As much as I hate Boston I love the way they play. Elite shooting and defense.

I will be very surprised if they lose to Miami.

Definitely rooting for whatever team comes out of the West to win it but Boston is the team I’d put my money on.

Maybe Booker should have been working on double teams over the summer, lol:

This clip always sends me into a spiral. Especially Joakim Noah's perpetual responses.

I got Golden State winning it all. Splash Bros are back in full effect. I think they'll battle Miami for six or seven games.

I think I saw DAL is 10-4 in their last 14 vs. GSW.

But I’m hoping like hell GSW has another ring in them. MIA won’t beat BOS and DAL won’t beat BOS.

It will be a complete loss of faith in the world if Boston steals a title this year.

I have Warriors and Celtics. That would be a great match-up.

Celts run switch heavy defense to counter warriors.
Warriors have long wings to defend Celts

Tatum-Brown vs Klay-Steph on offense

I'd like to think the Warriors can flip that switch whenever they want, but Dallas has some serious mojo along with the best player still playing. It wouldn't shock me if the Mavs stole that series, and then lost in 5 to the Celtics as the magic wore out. Barf.

We need the Warriors to win for any chance of avoiding that.

GoSixersBro · Here Lies The Process May 13, 2013 - April 6, 2016

As much as I don't want Boston to advance, for pure entertainment purposes the best series to watch would be Celtics-Warriors IMO.

Go Dubs regardless. Wouldn't care if Dallas or Miami won it, but don't think they have what it takes sadly. Golden State is much easier to root for now that Snake is gone and they aren't as unbeatable as during their run.

Yeah I'm pulling for Golden State the rest of the way. Hard team for me to dislike.

stormi · Post #1736 » by **stormi** » Wed May 18, 2022 2:24 am

Heat looking equal or better than the Celtics makes me feel better about 2-2'ing them with a concussed Embiid, torn thumb Embiid, torn hamstring Harden and no bench.

The Larry O is really coming home in 2023 wow.

Draymond makes it easy for me. Love Steph and Klay though. And Poole is a great story and crazy fun to watch.

This just kind of feels like Miami’s year.

Would be a fun finals to watch against the Warriors.

Or even crazier would be an 11 year reunion of Miami vs Dallas.

I have to eat a lot of crow. I never thought that Jimmy Butler was all that. "The hardest working man in basketball?! Yeah right !" But I was wrong. He works hard and gets and has gotten the most out of his abilities. And the crazy thing is he still loves the 76ers after only being with the team for half a season, 3 years ago. And this is exactly why I am a realgmer and not a real gm. How could the basketball minds that run/ran this team not see he was a leader? Yes he has his issues but being competitive was not one of them. Yes water under the bridge and all teams make bad decisions. But when are the 76ers going to be on the winning side of some of these decisions.

I saw a thread recently on the General Board. "Can we now agree that the Process failed?" No the process gave the 76ers everything they needed to build a winning team, a championship contender. Management just failed the fans big time.

Hinkie provided the assets so that Jayson Tatum and Jimmy Butler could have easily been on this present team with Embiid and Management passed on them. Amazing.
