We could space the floor like what the rockets are doing to the bucks but when Gasol is out there he is super hesitant about shooting so Lopez and Giannis get to be aggressive on help Defense.

The louder the crowd noise gets the weirder it is.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

DeMar was on fire, Spurs should have gone to him more in the end. Philly was so lucky to win that one.

Simmons needs the ball in his hands or he becomes invisible out there.

Never thought I'd see the day when a player was getting flamed by the basketball world for NOT getting it to DeMar in the clutch. He's been such a beast in crunch time in the bubble.

About not letting Embiid get the ball.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

The Celtics and Heat should be a fun battle.
Houston and Portland could see both teams legitimately score 200 points each. Nobody wants to defend.
