his outside shot drying up may be an issue in the playoffs

it's true... it was actually incredible for him that he ended up in a system like miami's where his shooting doesn't really matter right when his outside shot abandoned him. this year jimmy w/ embiid and simmons kinda hurts the brain to think about offensively but still may have been able to make the finals. then again all three are hurt right now lmao another huge problem w/ the philly plan

if i were an all-nba player i would simply not get injured

im a hinkie truther now

Wth Austin rivers dropped 41 pts

there's only one person I've seen make passes like that and it's Lebron

Since many people are enamored with Luka’s between the legs pass to KP, here’s 2 mins of Harden doing the same! pic.twitter.com/lIfjTmvn3W

Hinkie wouldn't have traded up for Fultz.

He wouldn't have traded for Harris and then nearly maxed him.

He wouldn't have signed Horford to play at the 4.

I'm still laughing at the Sixers thinking Milton was going to go from G-Leaguer to running the point on a championship team while continuing to shoot 55% from 3.

Thank god for the Flyers so I don't have to focus on this train wreck.

hinkie wouldve traded embiid for 7 draft picks
he wouldve called it the process 2
he wouldve assembled an epic powerpoint about it

lol

Hinkie always just reloaded picks and drafted chalk, there was no mastery there. And some of the guys he picked sucked!

Picking Okafor was just dumb

yeah he was bad

his big innovation was to loudly declare that he was rebuilding instead of half deny it, but he got fired anyway

lol where were youre trapped in the bubble

Deandre Ayton misses coronavirus test, arrives late to underway Suns-Thunder game https://t.co/XhW1B7wdVq

and theyre down 15 to the depleted thunder... ayton may not live this one down. suns need to win out and this shoulda been an easy win.

hes in now starting the 2nd q

Giannis missing this game with a toothache seems pretty fucking sketchy

jimmy butler and tj warren facing each other tonight for the first time since warren told jimmy to meet him outside the locker rooms

sad they arent airing that game nationally

yeah especially since we’re getting preseason rosters from the bucks-raptors game

The second half of the regular season bubble has been very sus

the first 7 minutes of this nuggs/lakers game has been a pure highlight reel

i am so ready for nate mcmillan to be fired

i mean it's not really that much different than any recent season in the last week, there's a few teams to play for and everyone else is just coasting

heat and pacers full rosters busting ass tonight in a game that doesn't really matter at all

playoff prep

Why would you fire McMillan? That team consistently outperforms expectations and overcomes adversity.

the amount of passing ability from the front court on the nuggets roster is just wild

lakers crunch time line up getting beaten by mason plumlee and bol bol :-/

in a shocking turn of events bol bol not ready to protect the rim on bron

and the game will be decided, as everyone expected, on some pj dozier free throws

or maybe not

wow ok then

not the finest moment for the denver defense

So I guess the nuggets want the 3rd seed

in a shocking turn of events bol bol not ready to protect the rim on bron

oh you rascal

i would have had a guy guard kuzma but that's just me

The last week of an 82 game season is a lot more understandable to be sus than the second week after 4 months off

lol come on matt

matt's expectations run deeper than mine. he also lays money on games.

sadly after the eight largely meaningless seeding games we only get the famously half assed nba playoffs :/

If this is the result then they needed to play more than 8 regular season games.

I mean giannis just skipped a game with a toothache. That sucks

does it really...

what would adding more games do except delay the intractable part of a sports season where a team whose playoff spot is secure rests some of its players before the playoffs

Maybe they should have just done away with the playoffs and offseason and we could just have a perpetual season.

every game should be the championship of its own season just an idea

They should have not done a regular season if it was just going to be a joke where most teams didn’t even care about seeding

theres no homecourt lol
