Covington is not afraid to let it fly with a hand in his face

Brad Stevens looks like an 10th grader throwing a tantrum when yelling at refs.

Never saw him this upset.

And this game is incredibly ugly.

I'm at work so only getting bits and pieces but it looks like two bad teams.

Also, I really don't like Bayless on Philly. They need Beverley.

Lol Redick misses a wide open Covington in the paint then passes to him for a contested three that goes in. Modern basketball is weird.

Embiid 0-8 with 5 of them threes. Brown has to tell him to get his ass in the paint if he's struggling like that. I don't have a problem with bigs shooting threes, but you have to adjust when you're that talented v

Saric must've done something to these refs

That makes the 2 or 3 seed much more attainable.

Not really worried for the rockets, that just puts them in the same position as last year when they won 55.

Hot take: celtics are better with rozier than irving

Not having Beverley or Paul is a lot to be without.

Yep. Kyrie has never been able to run an offense.
Boston were crazy overrated this year imo.
At least Kyrie now has the "we didnt have Hayward all year" excuse when they finish 6th in the east and lose first round.

Tyson chandler is done. 6 point game with a minute and a half to go and he literally watched Lonzo Ball blow by him in the pick and roll without even bothering to move his feet. He's either done as a player or leading the tank

Great bounce back for Ball.

Phoenix is so terribad.

Yup. PHX sucks. How long have they been rebuilding now? Jesus Christ. I guess no one wants to live in the desert. They have their first-round pick this year, right? Guess they are tanking.

I'll be interested to see if Ball's momentum continues or comes to a screeching halt versus NOP.

Except for the fact that they are missing players that contributed to their success last year when they traded for Paul. But other than that, yeah, same position.
