We could be up 3-0 too. 8-0 says don’t dismiss the Suns. Clipps barely lost, and Lue has been a master of making adjustments between games. Barely losing happens a lot in the NBA, especially in the playoffs. Whether it was a 1 point victory or a 30 point blowout the stats still say 1/0. Lue will ma...

Read the thread. Looks like CP3 is probably out until game 4, by which time we could easily be down 3-1 and returning to Phoenix to face elimination. At best, there's an outside chance he returns for game 3. https://twitter.com/FlexFromJersey/status/1407105913320886276 There’s only fan speculation ...

Listening to a podcast with Broussard: says Morris tweaked his knee, and was unable to go in the 4th quarter as a result. He may or may not be available for Tuesday's game. That said, Ty Lue is a master of adjustments. He came back from being down 2-0 in both the first and second round. His team ra...

Well, I guess you are talking about Meloball, I was talking about how the metrics says that, outside the paint, IN AVERAGE, any shot is inefficient compared to going all the way to the paint, because, going all the way back to the 3pt line, the extra point this shot produces, it’s what compensates ...

I'm trying to decide what the takeaway is from Game 1. We won, which is the biggest thing, and I felt like we got good shots and made them when it mattered. But we did seem to have lots of guys have good games all at once. Book had his first-ever triple-double and had 40 points (and played about 44...

That makes sense too, but I still think Simmons and Embiid are a poor fit. I agree that they are but Simmons value is probably at an all time low and if I’m Morey I try to rehabilitate his value a bit first. Apparently he shot 67% from the line prior to the all star break. Maybe they can coax that ...

You are absolutely right, but I would compare it to rim shots instead of 3s. Paul is a bit small to consistently attack the rim, while Booker tends to fade to one side or the other and bank it off the backboard when he attacks. They stop and pop that 12 footer much more frequently and indeed league ...

Interesting and great that Booker is finally ahead of CP3.

On the bright side for Philly I thought Maxey had some good moments getting to the basket. They've been lacking a quick, attacking guard like that. You never know with Morey, but I think Philly shouldn't panic. Maybe trade Simmons, but otherwise all of their core is intact. I think Tobias Harris su...

But back to the game. Thrilling victory. Got a little iffy at the end but we pulled it out. So many things I liked about it but since I’m typing on a phone I really don’t want to get too deep into it. One thing that worried me a little. Team shot something like 55% from the field and had a net posit...

I am not thrilled with the violence from this suns in four thing. But I do like that the guy, despite getting assaulted in a hostile environment, not only stood up for himself but also stuck to his key message. Instead of hurtling any number of insults at the dude that sucker punched him he kept thr...

Sure. I am not offering to trade Johnson for Thybulle. This was a pure hypothetical and not predicated on some realistic scenario where we send an asset to acquire him.

His most questionable move at the moment is drafting Jalen Smith, and a big part of Smith's disappointment this season is COVID related. There's still a chance he turns into a reliable rotation player. I know I’m getting a little pedantic but I would say his mistaken is not as much drafting smith a...

That said, I still like thybulle and wouldn’t mind having him on the Suns. He plays his heart out but is a bit reckless.

You know it’s a critical play when everyone immediately knows which one you are talking about.

I had a bit of an argument with a friend on whether they should’ve made the harden trade. Nobody can predict injury but I probably prefer having some semblance of depth myself. LeVert and Allen sure could’ve helped today.

I watched the Nets Bucks game and it was hard to watch. Damn.

Hard to understand how Bud still has a job.

They’re somehow hanging with the nets .. we will kill the bucks if given a chance

Suns in 4!

This bucks nets game is hard to watch. Hard to see how bud keeps his job after this.

Why can’t they post up Lopez more and use their size? Anything is better than Giannis and his euro step.

Beat Louisiana!

Speaking of which, saw some random baseless chatter that NO might move once their arena lease is up in 2 years.
