They missed their chance by not trading Paul at the deadline. His injury likely diminished his value to basically nothing so it's partially bad luck, but they should've moved him with some of their younger assets for a guy like Siakam.

Jimmy Butler seems to have an MCL injury and will miss the next play-in game. Rough news for Miami.

That family is full of idiots. MPJ is Aaron Rodgers, Jontay is just dumb, another Porter brother going to prison for killing someone in a drunk driving incident.

Klay's performance was so bad that even fake Klay is quitting:

He doesn't even look like Klay anymore. Looks like he quit a while ago. Plus, these people have no idea who he is.

I hope by take note they said, Klay is 1/10th the player of Jrue so 135 million turns to 13.5 million…sounds right.

Any team that pays more than the MLE for Klay is going to get their heart broken. Warriors included.

Cavs up early on Magic…they are getting a good Mobley game so far.

Yeah, same ... I kind of forgot that the Magic don't really have anybody who can score, and the Cavs have Mitchell who is happy to take big shots. Oops.

Joel Embiid with some ball handling:

Magic have some things to figure out. Last year the lights were too bright for the Cavs, now maybe it's the Magic's turn. Would like to see them play bigger and push the Cavs back, but they might be too finesse up front. They also need some guard scoring. Suggs had a few nice moment but can he make shots? Cavs defense was really good tho and Mitchell was getting everything he wanted.

Knicks were good enough to beat the Sixers. They have a lot of depth and know how to play and adjust so even Brunson going 8-26 really didn't affect them. McBride shook loose off the bench and Hart had a great all around game. Aside from Embiid, the Sixers just can't matchup in the frontcourt.

Pels/Thunder was the best round 1 game so far.

This game also was the first time I’ve seen a team end up in worse shape after making a coach’s challenge. Refs didn’t know who the ball went out on so they called a jump ball. Thunder coach challenged and they determined that the ball went off the Thunder so the Pels got the ball.

SGA clutch once again.

Do you realize that not one road team won game 1 of the playoffs?
