Who do we want to win between Toronto/Philly? I feel dirty cheering for either irrelevant franchise, but hoping Philly pulls it out and then proceeds to get swept by the Bucks.


Philly so I can go to more courtside games.


Does KL stay in Toronto if they lose game 7?


I don't think he stays either way.
YOU LOSE

Pulling for the Raps in this one. I'd rather Philly saw its big season of acquisitions fall flat as the Raps are probably headed for a Kawhi departure anyway. Might as well see both teams hobbled.

Plus I'm onboard with this Raps team. Masai has done a great job with this roster.

Yep, only way I can see him staying is if they win a title. Which obviously isn't happening

Even if they win a title I am not sure he stays. He might think "I have another ring on my finger, I can go and finish my career exactly where I want to." Which by all reports is California.

As much as I don't like the Raptors, I hope they manage to win this one against the Sixers

Embiid walking off the court crying somehow makes this miserable season okay.

Amazing. What a game. That’s why you trade assets for guys like Kawhi.

Rooting for Portland now, as it's the only team left out of the 4 that I wouldn't mind winning it all.

Nobody ever sees the pitfalls.


Or more like you are ex-military with almost no education whatsoever. But please elaborate on why women are somehow incapable of reffing a child's game.

Sigh. You're a good dude, but as an FYI, you can't really ban anyone. Only thing you will do is dictate what handle they post under. Which I will still do anytime I feel like it. Sorry, lol.

P.S. Way to toe the line on this ape's lowkey outrage over whether women are capable enough to ref a basketball game. Ridiculous.

Your posts in several topics demonstrate a rather thinly-veiled contempt for women and minorities, up to and including making up some hiring mandate and sticking to it even after your dumb ass was corrected over it several times. Ridiculous to get triggered over Silver's non-statement.

You serious or joking? I mean Kawhi shot the ball 39 times to score 41 points, he has been fantastic but this was a super lucky shot and he had a subpar game.
Good assessment:

Subpar game? Dude was the only one on the team that didn’t turtle and philly knew it. Who cares about his %, he carried that team past their standard 2nd round choke job all by himself.

Viper made some misogynistic comments about women largely based on strawman arguments, others responded in kind. Things spiraled.

Brilliant offensive mind coach, could be a nice fit for a young rebuilding team. Maybe with Zion and Sexton ?

No I did not. I clearly said my stance would be the same if it involved women OR men. What does that tell you?

Lol, if they permaed Cave over calling someone a sexist Neanderthal, I can't see myself making it through this year alive. I'll try my best but seems doubtful.

Have most of the numbers/contact info of the cool people here but if you don't have my digits and want them, please PM me as soon as possible, lol.

Random note on the Sixers: Brett needs to be released immediately. Redick was a more functional and effective coach for the Sixers this post season (dude was amazing for them on the sidelines). I honestly see JJ in a HC or GM role down the line. Great basketball mind.

What is your take on Simmons? I feel if he can’t ever find an outside shot, his passing and BB IQ won’t be enough. Would you trade him in you are Philly for another major piece? I mean I hope they don’t do anything smart or correct but this is one I would think would make them more dangerous.

Cave was banned?

Absolutely disgusting. As a woman he was sticking up for women and he gets banned for calling out people? People here can't handle a debate?

He's one of the best posters here in terms of knowledge of the game.

This is terrible news. :noway:
