Just think what this score would be if Payne didn't go 5/5 from 3.

If you were Nurse, which team would you pick? Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies?

philly
boston
suns
clippers
bucks


If Boston wins game 7 they will beat Miami (or NY) so I doubt both 76ers and Boston jobs would be open
Clippers situation is a disaster

Bucks is kind of a dream job for anyone, no?

Paul and Ayton wouldn't have made a difference. Denver is a better team regardless and they were lucky to win the 2nd game as Shamet thought he was Steph Curry game 4. Back to reality...

Ayton vindicates his value by not playing... one way or the other

Durant looks so brittle out there. He can't handle the physicality. It happened to him in 2013 against the Grizz. People forget that series.

Yeah I always found it a little strange Durant wanted Phoenix considering the luck they've had with Paul

Durant doesn't know how to evaluate players. Look at who he decided to team up with in Brooklyn

I was going to say, I thought he was stifling a smile. Man.......


Not only that, I think he knows Monty is going to get a ton of heat and may get fired and we know he probably doesn't get along with him anymore.

Is this a coaching issue.... Two years in row in elimination games at home with a blowout

This really isn't a KD problem. He is old. He can't carry a game like prime KD anymore. He is playing without his max salary #1 pick who is too soft to play this game.

Problem is coaching, team mentality, softness of Ayton, Paul being injure.

Monty and Malone should agree to end the game here. Don't waste anyone else's time.
