I'll never forget all the advanced stats and video clips from people last playoffs trying to convince the world that luka is a positive defender.

I might need to head there for some good light hearted reading.

Why is there no discussion of Nick Nurse possibly being fired? Does he like Doc Rivers get a free pass for a couple of seasons because he has a championship on his resume?

Maxey, Embiid, and George have all been hurt

Can't put that on Nurse

I can already see the spin machine in May.

I don't think there's a better player in the league than RJ Barrett vs the Pacers

Four years. Is he really going to be an NBA player after Lebron retires, hard to imagine.

No. And it's disgusting this isn't being called out regularly. The level of gaslighting we're receiving from the NBA, ESPN, sports media outlets, is just unhinged. If all this happened organically, I'd be all for it. But forcing me to "appreciate" a father/son duo in the league and stomach the nepotism because other people doing it is freakin' ridiculous. I hope this kid is humble, because if I was in that locker room and I find out this kid isn't travelling with the team, I'm going out him at every opportunity I can.

It's crazy he's only going to play G League home games. How does that make sense?

It doesn't and it gets me so hot under the collar thinking about it because people are coming to see him and I feel I'm the only one not taking dopamine but instead taking crazy pills.

Nick Nurse is actually a good coach and one can tell by watching the game.

Doc barely won one chip with an overpowered team and hasn't shown any sign of coaching competency ever since. He is best known for his "make or miss league" which is basically neglecting his job. This man is the biggest fraud in the history of coaching.
