For sure... that kid is fun to watch.

Orlando & OKC are both really fun to watch!

James Harden is really good and also the worst player in NBA history.

Damn dude. Booker 49 points, Durant 33, Beal 9. Swept and eliminated. Beal paid 50 plus million for the next 3 years. Vogel about to be fired. Team has no flexibility at all to do anything except to trade Durant or Booker.

Glad Beal is stuck with Phoenix and going nowhere. Wish he would have taken Terd with him. Those dudes deserve loserdom and each other. Hope Phoenix hires Tommy Sheppard so we can trade them Johnny Davis too.

Beal with 4/13 FGs, 6 turnovers and 6 PFs to boot…completely outclassed…

Those 1st round swaps are looking juicy.

Beal is the most hated man in Phoenix now, karma for screwing the Wizards with a NTC SM contract, KD will want out for sure now.

Beal looked scared last night. He had 2 turnovers in the last 3 minutes and was terrible for most of the game. Suns should have went after a point guard. Beal and Booker are not a good fit. Having said that, I am ecstatic that he is gone.

Anthony Edwards played great and seemed to make every 3 in the last few minutes. He might be my MVP this year.

oh my Bradley

KD is still pretty good but he ain't what he was 5 years ago. Time marches on.

To his credit, outside of that dud in game 4, Brad was playing his role well. Average something like 45/45/80 splits playing his role well as the third option scorer.

The glory numbers for KD and Book shot up with that last game. Outside of that, they were pretty meh. Durant had 5 *makes* from 3 across an entire playoff series. Booker had 7 3pt makes. Brad had 10.

Not that 3pt makes are the end all of everything, but it comes to show that the Wolves managed to force them into shots closer at the rim which is bad when you've got Gobert there.

Brings me great joy to see the Suns stuck with Beta Beal and that contract. Beal was the one talking the big game after game 3 about how they won't get swept and then he does a no show yesterday. :lol: So glad we got out of that contract, but screw Ted and Tommy for even giving him that contract in the first place.

Sixers stun Knicks. Maxey has a giant pair man, tying the game with that deep 3 to send it into OT, and the eventual win.

I can't count the number of times I thought the Nix won.

And YouTube effed up the recording in OT when the 6ers went down again (in OT)
and were poised to lose, so I didn't get to watch the very end.
