Go into detail. I would like to know why you think this.

Well the lead isn't insane at it's peak it was what up 18? That is not a huge lead in the NBA in 2023, it was a big lead in the 80's.

So this wouldn't be some epic comeback like down 30.

Giannis is running into Embiid yet getting calls.

I think Embiid will have an actual list of destinations.

Lakers/Knicks/Heat would be my guess.

Got this game on in the background, very casually watching, and it just seems like there's a whistle/turnover/something every 30 seconds. Can we just play the game ffs

Bucks high on their own farts. Could easily lose this game screwing around.

It’s hard watching Lillard try to game the refs like Chris Paul now that he’s on East coast eyes.

Gilbert Arenas actually was right for once. It makes no sense to work with Hakeem if you dont have good footwork and balance first. Hence the reason why it seems like only Kobe and Lebron(somewhat) actually benefitted from working with Hakeem. Dwight worked with Hakeem and I didnt see any difference.

It is mind boggling. He had a year where he shot 77%. Couple of others in the mid 70s...now its all down hill. 50% would be an achievement.

Hes killing my fantasy team lol

The Nets can offer a better deal than any of those teams.
