Giannis is helping Horford by getting the ball above the free throw line, when he should be getting it closer to the rim for easy points.

If Ayton dominates the Warriors in the WCF as he should Golden State might indeed have to do this:

If they want Mitch....we will need Poole in return...and besides RJ/Quickley, they can select any Knicks guard of their choice. 8-)

Have to pay to play, Warriors.

The lack of elegance and recognition towards Jokic winning MVP is really striking, and a bit disappointing.

I understand that some people feel Embiid should've won MVP, although I think a lot of it is due to recency bias because his team is much better than the Nuggets, hence they are still playing basketball in the second round.

But Jesus, just congratulate the guy, talk about his game that put him in that conversation to begin with, and move on.

The NBA fraternity and NBA circles in general really treat him like an outsider.

Jrue Holiday is a great defender but he's stunk up the joint offensively the past two postseasons, outside of a couple big plays here and there.

We'll throw in the Dallas 1st rounder.

Warriors are draft magicians. They can easily draft another Poole. 8-)

He’s not a scorer or a legit #2 guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s the ultimate glue guy and great #3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll give him a pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They’re really missing Middleton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are the champs about to be dethroned?

I think I remember hearing a stat about whoever wins game 5 when the series is tied 2-2, goes on to advance 85% of the time.

For Boston, for Boston,
We sing our proud refrain!
For Boston, for Boston,
'Tis Wisdom's earthly fane.
For here all are one
And their hearts are true,
And the towers on the Heights
Reach to Heav'ns own blue.
For Boston, for Boston,
Till the echoes ring again!

80% but if anyone can win a game 7 on the road in Boston it would be the defending champs. Shame about Middleton. Jrue getting exposed as a non-#2 option.
