Around the NBA streets Vol. 5: ONE MORE TIME

[Umbooki]

I love PG13, but I'ma need Trey Burke to drill a 3 in his face before this series is over.

[IggieCC]

Anyone have a horse in this race? I will take the underdog Mavs.

I like Mavs a lot. Seth Curry is fun to watch. It's nice to see a dud sibling shine while MVP bro playing golf.

Also coach Rick Carlisle does not look right to me. I don't wanna speculate but he looks very hollow? Hope he's ok. Otherwise his diet must be on point and he doesn't eat any snacks. So I wish him well.

Something is scaring the hell out of me with this 76ers situation. If Embiid's going to be traded and Philly blow it up Goldenstate will be all over that.

Goldenstate can offer,
Wiggins (who matches Embiid's salary exactly)
2020 #2 pick
2021 Timberwolves pick (possible lottery pick depending how much their #1 pick improves them)
2022 GSW pick

If I'm Philly I jump at that
You could wined up with
Starters:
Simmons
Edwards/Wiseman/Ball
Wiggins
Tobais Harris
Horford

Bench:
JRich
Thybulle
2021 FRP
2022 FRP
Plus all their own FRP's the next 5 years

Goldenstate become instant dynasty again and Philly jump start their rebuild without wasting too much of Simmons' (24yo) prime.

[dolphinatik]

wow Sixers really playes scarred and nervous towards the end. They really lacked the confidence to pull it off. I thought they would pull it out but couldnt buy a bucket or hold onto the ball. Experience would have helped them there.

Yeah we don't want that to happen... however

Steph: will be 33 in March with a bunch of injury history. heavy deep playoff run mileage
Klay: coming off torn ACL. heavy deep playoff run mileage
Draymond: looking more like Shreck with a backpack than DPOY. a player who CLEARLY does not age well with broke shot and being an undersized big
Embiid:

Spoiler:

Dynasty? I'm not too concerned tbh

That may be so but that won't stop GSW from making the trade. I doubt Embiid really has much say where he wants to go since he's signed through till 2023. Plus Steph and Klay are shooters they don't take on the same mileage as other players in the league would. I'm sure they can both come back in good form and with Embiid screening and rolling to the rim for them they will have even more room to operate.

Embiid and Redick's dribble hand offs were deadly for Philly last season, with Curry/Thompson it will be on another level. Teams will have to drop to stop Embiid which will leave those to guys free to shoot non stop.

Also Steph sat all this season for them to tank. He's had a year to recuperate any nagging injuries. Thompson only needs to be able to run around screens if he can do that he will be good to go.

I don't mean they will be a dynasty for 10 more years I just mean they will continue the one they have been having the last 5-6 years.

[DayofMourning]

Age, injuries, and a Miami Heat team with Dipo and Davis will stop dynastic thoughts from happening dean. 'Specially since 'Biid is a member of Jimmy's harem. He'll be thinking more about the enticement of the Heat than playing well for GSW.

[Wiltside]

Don’t scare me with this Biid to GSW talk. Do not want.

I know a place where villains are welcome.

[dean456]

God dammit Luka twisted his ankle and unable to put pressure on it. Clippers so damn lucky.

It makes sense from GSW point of view. He's going to be the malcontent that gets traded for less than he's worth. GSW will have to trade every single pick they can move plus pick swaps to get him, but that's what you try to do when your window is closing rapidly.

[IggieCC]

Kawhi broke Luka's ankle. It's a wrap.

[DayofMourning]

No pun intended?

No Luka, no luck for the Mavs.

I haven't watched LAC much except for the losses they handed us, doesn't look like LA defends the 3 that well. I can't recall, but I'm sure we didn't hit open 3s against them?

[QUIZ]

Chris Weber is such a weird announcer. Idk he makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason.

[IggieCC]

Seth Curry... he has all offensive tools as his brother. Should have grabbed him when he was messing around in China.

I've watched em often as I'm a night owl. When we played em I think Mion had a really good game but they pulled away in 3rd. We might have missed a lot of open 3s but they do have very good perimeter defense, if not the best in the league. Obviously they have Kawhi, PG13, Pat Beverly for nothing. I definitely don't wanna face em in the finals. I think we play better/together as a team, but they have more star powers, and they will overwhelm us with talents. Both games Kawhi pretty much took over in 3rd and never looked back.

LMAO

I always get him mixed up with Chauncey Billups. Same voice, but Weber is weirder. Good point QUIZ

[dean456]

Man I'd love to see the Mavs steal this one.

[IggieCC]

Jlop was right all along. Kristap Poz was the best player in 2015 draft after all.

Kpoz
Booker, KAT

DLo


Myers

Oubre
Kaminsky, WCS





Winslow, Stanley Johnson and so forth













Mario Heznja


Oof

[BaffLer]

Kawhi saving PG's ass this game. What a bum.
