I think Lue gets a bad rap as only a LeBron handler. He's not the greatest coach in the world but he's certainly not the worst, either.

Oh, and Kyrie is gone.

Brett and Lonzo will get along well. Brett is probably the coach with the most PG who can't shoot.

Would be so funny if then we end up with Ty Lue :lol:

Anyone else think Kyrie tanked in the playoffs? ,, like said to himself “ screw it, I’m getting a max anyway”.

Some of those misses in game 5, like the airball 3pt attempt, looked a lot like Greg Monroe.

Like he didnt care enough to win them that game? Yeah. But to play for the team to intentionally lose, i doubt it

How about Golden State doing their thing in Houston last night undermanned? Of course some will say that Houston choked the game away. People can watch something happen in real time and still argue about it these days, but that was just greatness on display from a dynasty team doing what they are supposed to do when it matters the most. From the role players to the Splash Bros taking it back to the day, that was just awesome to watch. I hope we get to that level some day. Thank GOD Houston is done! Still, a thing of beauty regardless of who they were playing. The fact that it was Houston just makes it all the more sweeter.

Can’t remember the last time a fan base so completely turned on a player before he even left like Boston/Kyrie. They’re basically chasing him out of town at this point.

It would be hysterical if he went to the Lakers.

The Celtics fans are basking in schadenfreude at the Lakers organization's expense. :lol:

Whatever they have to do now that their "dynasty" is falling apart before their eyes I guess?

Nuggets/Blazers has had more of the feel of a 4/5 1st round matchup than a 2/3 2nd round matchup, but it’s still been pretty enjoyable. This 4th quarter will mean a lot for Lillard’s and Jokic’s careers.

I thought young players loved the home cooking

Denver got exposed in the 2nd round. Been doing it with smoking mirrors and Jokic all year. They almost did not get by a 7th seed but Defrozen and Aldridge let them off the hook in round 1.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
