If only DH was still around...

Wolves moving on while the 76ers sitting at home.

Who/What is DH?

I can't figure it out off the top of my head either, but I'm sure once it's spelled out I will remember who it is.

Infamous Timberwolves forum troll who primarily terrorized the now defunct "RubeChat" on the KFAN website.

Also remember he made a bunch of dummy accounts to troll us. I still wonder if Zona and DH are the same person. Though if they are he has gotten more subtle.

This tweet is the perfect example of why the NBA is diseased. The superstar whistle has to go.

Is there anything that can be consider "troll" in-between the KG run and the current run. If I am a troll, I probably need to retired too

It’s the rule that rewards jumping into players, which Embiid has mastered, much to the detriment of all us fans.

Embiid even had some ridiculous stat, like over 50% on jump shots (I can’t remember exactly - feel free to remind me). That would be impressive if he wasn’t spamming the rules with these foul calls. For example, say Embiid takes 20 jumpers and makes 8 of them for 40%. Not impressive. However, suppose he jumps into the defender every time, and gets a whistle on 4 of those 20? Then the shot doesn’t count, and he has made 8 of 16, and viola .. 50%!

Just like a few years back when Trae Young would feel a defender on his back, then stop suddenly and throw his body into the defender, the NBA needs to change their rules and make contact initiated by the offense a foul, or at least not a foul on the defender. NBA, get on the stick! Nobody likes watching people exploit rules loopholes.

Good news is he did foul out last night. I also remember one play where he did that and got call for a charge. Hopefully things will change.

Ham is roasted. Who is next?

Vogel probably. I could also see the Kings firing their coach if they like someone else (might take a year.)

It is very early, but I think Dallas is going to finish the Clippers tonight. Sending KL, JH, and PG to the long list of big names no longer in the playoffs.

Clippers and Mavs tied at halftime. Magic bring Cleveland to game 7.

Mavs blow the Clippers away in the 2nd half. Mavs OKC should be fun.

OKC is going to blow out DAL 4-1.

I have Dallas in 6 or 7.

Again I think the Mavs team is overrated. I see OKC handling them without too much trouble. Maybe Dallas gets a couple of wins but I don't see them beating them in 7 games. OKC has a fantastic path to the conference finals. The Clippers were a total let down, highly overrated. And for the life of me I don't know what Tryonne Lue gets so much praise as a coach, not saying he isn't good bu this Luke Walton all over again/ (Lue is better though).

I agree the Clippers were overrated. I agree the Mavs are overrated. But the Thunder are too small. I think they will be punished by Gafford, Washington, Kleber (if healthy,) and Lively. The Mavs will dominate the glass, they have enough shooting and scoring to keep pace, and the Thunder don’t have that second elite defender. You put Dort on Luka and now you Giddey or SGA on Kyrie. I think end of the day OKC comes up just short (pun INTENDED.)

I knew the clippers were gonna be old and tired by the playoffs. They peaked during that little hot streak in middle of the season.

Cavs at Boston should be interesting. Although it seems like Jarrett Allen might be dealing with a rib injury.

It seems that Boston won't have Zinger for the entire round so it could possibly be interesting. I say Boston in 5 anyway.
