As a Bucks fan, it’s still very frustrating as to what Brad Stevens pulled off with Derrick White. By all odds he should have been a Grayson Allen type addition, but he’s turned into Joe Dumars with the Celtics. They’re back down with us if they hadn’t pulled that off. Heck, we beat them in 2022 if they didn’t have him.
ETA: oh, and I see he went #29 in the 2017 draft. One of many super productive players we passed on to take DJ Wilson.
ETA2: I see from pick 18 to pick 30 of the 2017 draft, we could have had John Collins, OG, Jarrett Allen, Kyle Kuzma, Derrick White or Josh Hart.
Ouch
But if we drafted them, we probably wouldn't play them, and they wouldn't become who they are.

Will be interesting to see how the calf injury affects Murray beyond this series. In 3 of the last 4 years, he's either missed the playoffs entirely or been injured/hobbled. I'd include a snarky Middleton parallel here pointing out the obvious double standards, but nah....

Doubt anything major happens this year, most likely just running it back with slight tweaks to back end roster. Now, if Giannis comes out and says some s*** then we go down the nuclear route...Everybodyy goess

Yeah he and Lore own more than a third of the team already. This is just about whether they get to majority ownership or not.

I hope the Sixers can lose without Embiid hurting anyone (both teams)

Good on Darvin. He knows he'll be the scapegoat here, but he's not gonna sit quiet while the LA and Klutch media apparatus absolutely trash him these next few weeks. Pretty amazing that Pelinka will probably survive while on his soon-to-be 4th head coach in almost as many years. 5-years of the Lebron/AD pairing and only two actual playoff series wins that weren't in an empty high school gymnasium at Disney World.

Celtics can't let us have just one thing.

So is the ball not finding Embiid tonight or his knee too sore?

This NY/Philly series feels like a 7 game series that will only go 5.

Embiid will get a pass because of his knee but this has been another shrinking-in-the-big-moment performance from him today.

Bunch of Sixers media guys have been talking him up the last day or so because of his box score stats and +/- but totally ignore him falling apart time and time again in the fourth quarter. Happens every playoffs.

I like Brunson but the continuations he gets compared to Dame pisses me off
