Bobby top 3 finalist for 6th man.

This Pelicans team is pretty good and Zion being out is infuriating. I actually think they had a chance to upset OKC with him.

I forgot he's out. That would have been a fun series.

[12 Point Buck]

it's like a college game.. boomer me with zion out knows nobody on either team playing.

Good finale to the opening weekend.

Highlight so far, Cavs and their fans despising the Wagner brothers early in game 1.

I can’t believe how good a look CJ got after losing the ball like that lol.

OKC look kinda shaky but you'd expect that of a team so young and inexperienced. Can't see either for Pels/OKC making it past round 2.

Why doesn't Joe play more?

Maybe by the time they get to the second round they’ll have settled in a bit more but yeah, both teams looked a bit chaotic the final 10 minutes or so.

Maxey is sick and is questionable for tonight, Embiid will play but is hobbled. I want that series to go at least 6 games but I don't see it happening.

Have to imagine there's a substantial segment of 6ers fandom who would be happy to see Embiid go.

Woj once again straight up mouth-piecing for the Miami PR machine now that they know their season's over.

"Miami is always in a great position," Wojnarowski said. "Especially if it's players with not a lot left on their contract, one year or two years, and they tell their team 'I want a trade to the Heat, and if you don't send me to the Heat, I'm going to become a free agent and go somewhere else...' Now, teams can still decide to send you where they want to send you. But it's always an advantage for Miami. Players want to be a part of that organization."

"So I think Miami will be in a position again, use the assets they have, to go out and get another All-Star level player that maybe connects more on the timeline of Bam Adebayo and his age," Wojnarowski said.

Again? My guy, they wanted Dame and literally ended up with Terry Rozier. I guess we're really doing THIS again, huh?

Riley is a boss, and the Heat are an epic example of the benefits of coaching and great management. But dang, they are whiny and entitles and usually overrated.

I'm not a big believer in the value of individual games' +/-. For example, I don't think Myles Turner's +2 from yesterday tells you anything about that game. That said, Embiid's +14 on the floor and the -21 while he's off the floor do a pretty good job of telling the story of that game. If Embiid stays healthy, I think this series is probably Philly in 6. I think they can win maybe 1 game that he doesn't play, and that's very much a maybe.

Suggs looked like he hyperextended his leg. Ouch.

[ReasonablySober]
