That Bogdanovic situation is one of the examples, the defender crashes into his back, Bogdan starts falling, and the goddamn crowd is going crazy because there's no travel call instead of shutting the **** up :lol:


Yeah, that was ridiculous, to be honest. It was a clear foul that got no-called (which I'm fine with) but the fans had no reason to go crazy there :lol:

Bloated contract swap Harris for Gallinari. Useless.

Hawks are no pushover like the the Wizards. Offensively, they're a very deep team and have a really balanced defence. I see them upsetting the Sixers and winning this series in 6 or fewer games.

Nope.

Book it.

I can dig it. Anything with Suns in the Finals is my jam. Feel slightly better about chances with Harden out (unfortunate, I hate injuries, especially in the playoffs).

Jokic out here beating a healthy Portland with 2nd year Mpj as his Robin and rolling with Campazzo, Austin Rivers, Jamychael Green, retirement home Millsap and Monte Morris

Embiid got Ben, Tobias, Seth, Danny, George, Maxey, Dwight and getting rekt by Atlanta lol


Jokic is an offensive orchestrator and a floor raiser for his teammates, while Embid is a dominant scorer with great rim protection. Totally different types of players but I agree…Jokic is clearly in his own tier.

Hawks are still a huge underdog. They need to finish this game one and steal a win here. That was a smart timeout by McMillan.

Just like everybody expected at the start of the season :P

I do see a lot of similarities in these two teams this season.

1) Haven't been in the playoffs in a while
2) A young star guard supported by a vet reliable PG (CP3 and Louwill)
3) New great coach
4) Mostly young talented supporting cast

I am not disagreeing with you about Jokic but I don't think beating a Portland team that has been knocked out in the 1st round in 4 out of last 5 years is that strong of an argument.


The Pelicans sweep is the only bad loss and Nurk was hurt that series

otherwise theyve been eliminated by the Warrios or Bron/Ad Lakers

If I am the 76ers I'd rather have Beal.


westbrook and ben on the court at the same time? please make that happen just for the memes.


... like it isn't obvious that a Beal trade would signal a complete rebuild for Washington that would likely have Westbrook dealt to the highest bidder.
