so fans shouldn't complain so much when their team's player doesn't get named to one of the teams?

at least not the year before their max deal kicks in

The @Suns finished the season with identical records of 32-9 at home and 32-9 on the road.

They are just the fourth team in NBA history to record at least 32 wins both at home and on the road:

The Curious Case Of Julius Randle

Last year's Most Improved Player was one of this year's most disappointing shooters.

Out of 68 players that attempted at least 500 jumpers this season, Randle ranked last in efficiency with eFG% of just 40.95 pic.twitter.com/vV9jaXbUxt

This year, Chris Paul is now 55-of-97 on long mid-range jumpers in the 4th quarter (59.1%)

For perspective: Kevin Durant is shooting 48.7% on those shots in 4th quarters https://t.co/cnueuY36qO

offense has been off the charts 2nd half of the season and offs

Random - No team has ever won fewer than 2 games in a playoff series in which it had an effective FG% off 55% or higher.

Nets (0-3) have an eFG% of 57.4%.
Nuggets (1-3) have an eFG% of 55.9%.

"defense wins championships" stocks holding steady in this rough market

probably in part related to all the fouls

It’s the first time a player has fewer than 25 field goals and more than 30 turnovers in a single postseason since the three-point era (1980).

and 10 steals

1 (inadvertent) nut kick

Miami really just ate trae up and spit him out

they fucked him up lol

Mikal Bridges is the 7th player in NBA history to have 30 points, 4 made threes, and 4 blocks in a playoff game.

The others? LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Vince Carter. pic.twitter.com/cOb4zBHNAK

love when a team really needs someone to step up and then someone really steps up

yeah insane game

Why would you need Bridges when you could have 14 games over two years of Zhaire Smith?

Let’s be real, even if the Sixers had held onto him, he would’ve been shipped out in a trade for some disgruntled superstar long ago

Somehow that's not making me feel better.

47 minutes for bridges too lol

that trade in retrospect is clearly one of the worst moves of the entire sordid process era but at the time it felt entirely defensible, they basically traded one first round pick for two. i don’t remember ppl saying at the time that bridges was some huge theft by the suns. and zhaire had that whole thing where he almost died from an allergic reaction or whatever, so i kinda give the sixers a pass on that one

but now that we’re talking about it… the sixers could have jayson tatum, bridges and embiid right now. ahh

1 (inadvertent) nut kick

fixed.

watch it again. he lost his balance and stumbled backward so badly after that (nut) shot for the simple reason that he'd awkwardly thrown his foot so far forward in order to kick alvarado's nuts that it wasn't possible to recover gracefully. alvarado had embarrassed him badly in crunch time in a playoff game. cp3 will always extract payback any way he can.

but now that we’re talking about it… the sixers could have jayson tatum, bridges and embiid right now. ahh
