Philly should draft Bronny with their first round pick and hope LeBron will come for the vet minimum so they can keep the entire gang together. I'm being 100% serious. And iirc LeBron doesn't have to make a decision on opting out until right after the draft. If you could guarantee with the Bronny p...

Stupid, spoiled, selfish American kids screaming on their college campuses is one of the most ignorant, uneducated, pointless endeavors. It will change nothing, affect nothing and mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. JFC That's simply not true. (Even if it absolutely is true in this specific...

The only season that was remotely close was when Jimmy butler was there, and they took eventual champs Toronto to 7 (the kawhi Leonard game winner) Otherwise that franchise had done a pitiful job In HINDSIGHT it seems they did a terrible job but they sure made an effort to be successful through the...

They'd already have a title if they kept Jimmy Butler.

It's such a fine line. He's a top 10 player in the world. He's putting up awesome stats.

It's not easy. A lot of great players never win a championship.

As a Celtics fan, if Porzingis is healthy, i'd prefer Minny over Denver. If Porzingis isn't available, i'll take my chances with Denver ( probably will loose ) as Jokic is likely to get his regardless. I also think that Bostons players may respond better mentally to being an underdog as opposed to ...

He leads the league in DPM and DFWS. He may win DPOY this season - he's the leading candidate. Your eyetest is close to worthless. He's a really good defender. He's not the best defender in the league. I don't even know what DPM means. OK but he very may well win defensive player of the year this s...

I wonder if Philly will ever get it figured out. Embiid finished with more points than minutes played, something only accomplished by Wilt Chamberlain, and Philly still went out in the first two rounds for the 7th straight season. They just can't seem to keep Embiid healthy and put the right pieces...

Let's talk about the Bucks. Let down right there. How about that Doc Rivers ( though it really was the injuries that sent em packing )? My boy Haliburton getting his playoff feet wet. Doc had a full compliment of players in like 9 or 10 games I think I read. Doc wasn't the problem. Dame and Giannis...

I think Gobert is overrated as a defender (he gets a lot of help side blocks), but he's very good. And he's very good in the role he's in where he can focus on being a defender and rebounder primarily. With some dunks/lobs on offense.

PDub loves him some Rudy Gobert and Buddy Hield. I get it.

76ers got to see what Buddy Hield brings as he gets them back from a 20 point deficit. And now they are eliminated. He brought them some shooting for sure....but he also had some head scratching moments. He's not a good passer and not a good defender. You can tell the motions they run with Maxey an...

Ugh, Buddy would have had a look but panicked and rushed it. I think he was afraid they were going to foul.

Great series.

Maybe the end of the process?

With 34.9 seconds to go.

Go Philly!

Another great game.

Another game where Embiid has sort of shrunk in crunch time.

Goes to show just how good you've got to be to make it in the NBA.

Makes me think Furphy is an idiot. If Buddy Hield can barely crack the Philly rotation and he's proven to be capable of this type of stuff, I wonder how on earth Furphy is going to survive his first year or two.

Portal deadline has passed. Elmarko Jamari and Clemence survive.

I like that. Teams need multi year guys.

Haha. This.

Embiid is gonna have to bring it.

I think the Knicks might totally blow this.

This is looking far in the future but I almost think Celtics would rather see Denver than Minny now that Porzingis might be out for the whole deal. On paper, yes....But that championship experience Denver has is valuable. Players and Coaching. And then there's Jokic. Minny is hot right now though.....
