I can't wait to hear Doc's story on how he put $500 in the ceiling of the Nuggets locker, telling his guys they'll be back there for the NBA Finals.

Good series Philly fans. Game 6 was the series.

I think if you consider him as a conley tier type of player he can still be a valuable.Free Rider wrote:Is there even a market for James Harden at this point. I keep hearing how he might leave Philly as if he what’s a plethora of options but if I’m the Sixers that’s gotta be a blessing not in disguise. Who the hell would want this version of James Harden. If I’m a GM I’d want nothing to do with him.
He still won two playoff games by himself. But if you count on him to be anything more than a fourth or even 3rd option you are making a big mistake.

These are the four teams I wanted (GS/LAL was a tossup, great storylines either way).
Both these series should be great. I got Denver in 7 and Boston in 7. But the key is the 7’s. These should be epic.

Two MVPs and they couldn't even scrape 90 points in either close-out game after going up 3-2 in the most scoring-friendly era in NBA history.
Clowns. Both of them. With Doc Rivers as the circus ringleader.

Harden by all advanced metrics is still a top 15 player tho. Makes it tricky

Man I cannot envision Harden staying. He tried his hand with chasing rings in Philly and Brooklyn. If I was him, I would rather go home to Houston and ride out into the sunset with the Rockets.
Crazy how quick the narrative can change. I was sure Harden was staying before game 6.

That was beautiful. Did you see the words of encouragement Embiid's dad gave him.

This was one of the most dominant playoff series wins and one of the biggest meltdowns in one game. It had everything.
