how the hell does he block Embiid at the 3-point line?

I think embiid is still injured and can’t get good lift on his shots. Still it was a great defensive move by
Precious

Not to excuse poor effort, but how often do guards dive in from the perimeter on a free throw? Especially if they aren't given a heads up on it being an intentional miss?

Considering the game is on the line during a playoff game and the free throw was never guaranteed in the first place, he should have been prepared to fight for the rebound.

But he wouldn't have any impact in the paint. It'd make more sense to be at the right angle for a tap out.

It was a loose ball and his hands were on his hips.

Either way, he was no where close to the play, made no attempt to do anything and just assumed the free throw was going in.

Luka and PJ Washington are absolute pylons on defense Harden walked right past them

Dallas LA series is a good one. More even without Kawhi but I think Dallas takes it

Beals- waste of a max contract

Beal’s contract is the grenade that has destroyed PHX’s present and future. The Nets must be thrilled to know where this is inevitably heading.

I have no idea how anyone thought Beal was going to move the needle in any sort of positive way. They were a better team WITHOUT KD and Beal. Just another owner trying to buy things.

Ya gotta respect the passion, they're basically Leaf Nation of the NBA. They have a bit more hope though, their dogs have shown up.

They’ll also need to pay iHart and even offer Precious a decent contract. Ideally they should get rid of Mitch Robinson for a cheaper back-up big.

I’m rooting for them this season, but I’ll be glad when they overpay role players in the off-season.

Looking at that brutal Ant's sweep..For the sake of Barnes' being the face of the league, I hope Darko has been in the lab working on those coaching 'skills'...analyzing Thibodeau's defensive's blueprints

Looking at Myles Turner, he has always stepped up in the playoffs..from Day 1 in that First round against Kyle and DeMar.
FVV/OG/Barnes/Siakam/Turner would have been dangerous...it will be nice to know one day the package we had agreed to with the Pacers ..until they went Sabonis for Haliburton instead.
