Melo is an ideal machup for Favors.

May be the guy filling in cause the regular Thunder guy is suspended for the cotton comment?

I dunno who said the cotton comment?

Doesn't Harlan or Marv Albert work for TNT? Or was it one of them who said the cotton comment?

Utah is much better than an 8th seed. Should have been the 3rd seed based on their talent. But don't you worry, we'll see them in the 2nd round.

OKC’s talent is just going to put out more scoring than what Utah can stop. I see this series going to 6

Yeah, I agree. All 7 games imo.

Russ is my key to this series. I used to love his game, but I think he did a lot of calculated number chasing during quite a few of their games this season. He can't do that in the playoffs, so I want to see if his game looks more *free* or if he's just not going to get away with a lot of the lazy things he did during certain plays/possessions during the regular season.

who said that ?

Sixers fans mostly. People are getting so heated about a stupid award like ROY that they will bash the other to make their guy look good. They are both great players, period.

Yep. Guess what this Utah team is missing from being a legit contender? A swingman shooter/scorer like Hayward.

Same can be said for BOS though. BOS was the #2 seed and Hayward only played like 6 minutes. You add a healthy Hayward and Kyrie to this Boston team right now and they would probably be the favorites to make it to the finals.

I would have keep Favors and trade Rubio for a better shooter.

Lol no. Just, no.

To be fair I’ll watch anything but would love to see something other than Cavs v Gsw

And this was the one team I didn't want to face in the 2nd round.

Who says you're getting to round 2?

both are the same age and Mitchell actually had the benefit of being healthy last year.

Let's not do this in this thread plz.

This, because it will be warned. Don’t derail these threads.

I know comparing guys to all time greats is a big time no no. But damn is Mitchell is the closest thing I have seen to the next Wade.

Seeing both the Pacers/Jazz lose stars and play better is awesome.

Oh, absolutely. In the end, it was more of his personal decision and there was no good indication that Mitchell would be who he is right now. Celtics could definitely use him going forward and for the long-term. He fits well for either team.

Jazz need the Rubio who can shoot to show up.

Finally they get an offensive rebound. Goodness.

Been comparing him to Wade for months. He's a monsta.
