That is exactly what I thought. The "suspension game" where the Spurs wore down the Suns late and the Bowen three won the game. I am not saying Durant makes that last shot if he had only played 51 minutes but with TV time outs - Nash could have managed his minutes much better. YOu telling me Deandre Jordan was that bad he couldn't play 2-3 minutes of defense on Lopez. I know its hindsight. But it was exactly what I thought - over playing the starters.

Yeah Deandre Jordan is that bad at this point

Nick Claxson might not have been though.

Tonight's the night Mrs. Budenholzer let's him move back in, for sure (or at the least spend the night to see where things go). Bud slowly deflates the air mattress in the storage room and rolls it tight, making sure to get all the air out. He opens his Motorola Razr flip phone and begins to dial, nervous energy pulsing through his fingertips...

We need more quality fanfics on this forum

To be honest I got aroused reading it.

Unfortunately, Bud didn't, as his wife answered and he still remains on an air mattress in Fiserv Forum... haunting the halls long after everyone else has gone, endlessly wallowing through a perpetual divorce.

Wow, Trae Young starts out 1-12 and they are winning at the half.

Trae with some SICK passes this game.
I feel like ATL is just a few clean possessions away from making this uncomfortable for Philly. But each time ATL scores, Philly comes right back. Hawks are such pests (in a good way)

Crazy to think that.
From our series, either Chris Paul will reach his first finals, or the Clipper franchise will reach their first final.

Good D by Philly but Huerter is killing it tonight.

Crazy how much Seth Curry has improved. He's had to fight for his spot in the league and while it's taken some time, he's showing he belongs. Why did Dallas trade him?

This is crazy. Atlanta might really knock out Philly

If they lose this game, he's gone this summer. I still see a McCollum for Simmons type deal taking place.

Yep, could be good for both teams. I think he has placed himself firmly in the value range of mcollum not Lillard (not that he was ever worth lillard

Hawks getting through is a great story

I can't believe Philly is going to lose this series. Feels like they've lost it more than ATL has won it (even though thats probably not fair)

Mistake after mistake.

Atlanta and Phoenix both peaking at the right time of the season.

King4Day · Post #1756 » by **King4Day** » Mon Jun 21, 2021 2:36 am

And Philly has been eliminated. You can say it's in part due to Embiid's injury but he played the whole series and dominated.
They will finally have to break that core up.

Imagine if we had to bench our second best player at the end of games. Thats Booker or CP3 sitting down. Its just not enough talent on the floor to win at that point.

Who would have thought both Trae and Ayton reaching the conference finals before Doncic?

That's why your big man can't be your superstar.
Not in today's nba btw.
