hello friends it's the 2018 NBA Playoffs, a place where dreams GO 2 DIE

a lot depends on simmons/embiids development, imo theres reason to worry abt both of them ever maxing out their talent, but on the other hand their ceilings are so high that even if they dont reach them theyll still prob be very good, tho simmons maybe has a lower floor than most are acknowledging (as least those who arent calling him crocodile michael carter williams)

iirc the pre-draft take on tatum was 'sure he's gonna score but is he going to be able to do other stuff' and the answer has been yes

yeah ppl were calling him danny granger and rudy gay

Philly's cap situation next year is pretty great. Covington's deal was front-loaded. Tons of guys coming off the books. Saric and Simmons are cheap for a while.

hey sixers fans who cares about how they are building a team a generational talent will effortlessly ruin it all to the ground /raptors

be a good test for their front office to not sign some third tier guys to huge deals if they strike out w bronbron

haha curry

whodathunk draymond and rondo would butt heads in this series

Fly pelicans fly

KD snapping at Steph (who's defense was atrocious in the 1st)

kerr starting javale in the 2nd half again smh. this is not the series for javale. his refusal to just play his best lineups is bizarre.

steph does not look good at all tonight. hope this doesnt play out like 2016 when he came back balled out the first game then was like 75% of himself the rest of the way.

turns out rondo was a great pickup for the pellies in the playoffs

o dang just checking in good show pelicans

"to me, that's preposterous. alligator cheesecake, things of that nature."

everyone is v. mad at steve kerr tonite!

oh no who is mad?

steve is prob not used to that!

all the twitter people! i guess he chooses bad lineups to play?

o dang the twitter horde has turned on steve i read in the nytimes that thats a very big problem i hope he is ok

omg rondos line, kidd cld only dream of a 4-10-21

uh oh jingles comes out blazin

Kerr has always done weird stuff w lineups. Big part of why they lost in 2016. Fans like him but have held a grudge ever since. He just does things that are too cute. Like starting swaggy in q3 last game. Or sticking w javale tonight even tho it was clear from the tip-off this isn’t a series for him to play in.

yeah otm re kerrs rotations, tendencies to be too clever

rockets not joking around here

yeah they look sharp

lol

Draymond Green on his on-court run-ins with Rajon Rondo: "At some point, somebody's got to tell the truth. ... Draymond ain't trying to bait nobody. I'm chilling."

capella has played himself into a max player, no?

oh no doubt

about 3/4 of max seems more likely, but he's been damn good this year

wonder if cp3 will take less than the max so they can load up

I think def

the rockets are sporting a lead of 30 points

i love james harden and i dont care what anyone says

how can he move so slow while moving faster than all the fast basketball men

he doesn't rely on drawing fouls even half as much as he did a couple of years ago, and his game has improved quite a bit as a consequence

yeah going for all those cheap calls really worked against him come playoff time

Can't imagine how anybody could love this

ha that owns

james is a visionary

rough weekend for our beloved rookie of the years

hmm maybe the true rookie of the year is one jayson tatum something to think about

no.

im checking my records and it says yes

it was cool when he was shooting like 65% from 3 for a couple months

he shot 43% for the season thats considered very good

if the jazz are gonna take one like this we at least deserve cutaways to a sad-eyed but still smiling mitt
