Are we expecting the Nuggs/Den to punch their ticket into the 2nd round or will the Lakers have a miracle upset?

Ref applied league head office bias isn't a miracle.

Either that or Evan Mobley isn't the phenom that many pegged him to be all these years. Bill Simmons being so high on him comparing him to Kevin Garnett is easily the dumbest thing he has said. They are nothing alike.

Is Mobley's projection that of an elite role player?


Very elite, but I think yes.


Cavs are stuck. Allen and Mobley are both on very team friendly deals so it’s hard to trade one even if it’s good for the team. However Mitchell can walk if they continue to treadmill. They should tamper and try to convince LeBron to retire with them. He’d get them over the hump to the ECF at the very least.

OG guarding Embiid is crazy
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Watching this series makes me appreciate Masai letting Nurse walk. Dude has fallen off since 2019. Payne over Hield?

It's crazy how if you get into Nurse's dog house it's literally impossible to get out. No wonder he was voted as the coach players would want to least play for.

I can understand Oubre going from scoring 15pts to 9 in the playoffs having that job to do on Brunson, but Tobias going from 17points in the regular season to 8 points against the Knicks is just not acceptable..with all that length, size , talent on the Sixers, this should have been a 5-game series .

Clown ass Embiid just get ready for the olympics. NBA playoffs isn’t your thing. Might be able to score without relying on free throws there.
