Yeah if I'm the Philly owner I'm 100% looking into this issue so it never happens again. At least in the playoffs.

Teams could easily fix this and prevent the resell to away team, but they don't

Philly is driveable for a lot of nyk fans

Still, home teams can easily fix the issue of ticket resell

what stops knicks fans from buying tickets that go on sale to the public directly from the sixers (i.e. tickets that are not sold to season tickets holders)?

how do you stop knicks fans that live in Orlando (there are tons of them) from buying tickets that are sold to the public?

Anyone remember this trade proposal from a poster last year (who I like, so I will not name them) :lol:

Beal is easly worst contract in nba. Maybe only matched by Gobert. But Gobert is at least good at one thing.

When you think about it, Beal and Wall ( same team in past) are some of worst contracts in history.

Wizards really know how to imbrace sucking.

Funny thing is his play wasn't even terrible (51/43/81) on 18 ppg.. but the contract is just a killer. Suns could not get a bench by trading for him and it's not like they needed his skillset. And not the most available guy either. But if he was paid cheaper obviously could help offensive starved teams

Embiid is barely ever jumping for rebounds and his boxing out has been pretty lazy, especially down the stretch of games. His stamina has been a major problem for him yet again in the playoffs. And him being not 100% fit is also an obvious factor in this series. Nurse screwed up yesterday playing him the whole second half, yeah, they are quite bad when he is on the bench, but he is just not a player with a stamina to last a whole half in a crucial playoff game.

I am happy for Harden and PG13 for their big game yesterday, they have gotten way too much flak over the years for their supposed playoff struggles, a lot of it undeserved.

man if before the playoffs you would've told me that the suns would be eliminated before us i would've been skeptical

Beal had problems with teammates like Dinwiddie before. Durant has had problems with teammates. I'm sure the culture is great.

Durant is now in his mid 30s, he cant carry a team like he could in his younger days. Plus he was never the type of guy to raise his teammates, he is not much of a playmaker/creator for his team, never was.

It's crazy when you look age of Curry, Durant, Lebron.

Those guys all past 35 ( 36,36,39), in past that age was retirement bound, now we complain about their "decline" that isn't even that bad.

It’s impressive the numbers they are still putting up but at this stage they shouldn’t be the guy. But for their teams they’re still the guy as they have no one else to take the baton.

There is hardly any national attention from podcasts today. I checked the Lowe podcast, and they talked about the Cavs for 6 minutes and not a word about the Magic. The Windhorst show didn't even bring up the series when going over all the series.

I don't buy that Lowe shows any love towards the Magic. The few times that I've heard him talk about the Magic, it seems like a chore that he has to do. Simmons is the only one that gives the Magic respect. I think that stems from the Magic beating the Celtics in b2b games last season and winning the last 4-6 against the Celtics.

It happens in all sports - Djokovic, Ronaldo etc, but actually in NBA there have been plenty of players playing well in their mid 30s in the past... Lebron is the exception because he is 40...
