Beal with 2 straight 50 point games ...
He’s a terrible defender but got give him credit for what he’s done on the offensive end.

Lol Kemba for Three, you are needed by the Cavs fandom. Paging Kemba for Three.

Really hope there are no doubters left. Cavs fandom asked for some help for their team and for Drummond. They were rewarded with a wonderful win over the Miami Heat in OT, to help the Boston Celtics.

What has turned out to be a more disappointing offseason move so far -- Utah trading for Conley or Sixers signing Horford to his massive contract?

And to think Celtics could've ended up with both. Wasn't there a rumor that we were going after Conley as Kyrie replacement?

Horford’s no doubt. They got him for 3 more years after this one, on a 27M per year. yikes! :lol:

At least conley will be expiring next season.

This sounds ominous on the Ben Simmons front by Woj despite there really not being much detail.

Pacers are the Blazers of the East. Cursed.

Every nets game thread is a gem. The new one is debating if they should trade Allen/levert and "picks" for Beal in the offseason....

As talented as Kyrie, KD & Beal are individually, that would be a horrible fit.

Blessing in disguise for the Sixers, IMO. They get to see what they look like if the team is built around Embiid and compare it to how they do when Simmons is the man. They can then decide who to trade in the summer.

FWIW, Brand wanted to trade Simmons last year at the deadline but ownership put a stop to it. Perhaps an impressive playoff run without him convinces ownership to let Brand do his job.

Team performance is harder to evaluate now that Horford is there. Simmons and Embiid are a bad fit. But so are Horford and Embiid.

EDIT: And before they make any major personnel moves, they probably should replace their coach first.

Trade Embiid. He plays 60 games and is much harder to build around. But they'll screw it up, it's the Sixers.

A guy named Matt Thomas is killing the Bucks right now. 3 threes and an assist in short minutes. How do the Raps keep finding these guys? Without Gasol and Powell, they're in control of the game.

Come on Bucks. Wake up!

Did Simmons hurt his back falling on it in the ASG?

Marvin Williams would've been a great pickup for us.
