Worst gift in the pile: 2023 NBA Play-Ins

its honestly good enough which is crazy but without the injury history and worries he prob wouldve been out there moving around a lil more

"We've got to be available. We've got to do what we need to do off the court in terms of preparation, in terms of getting treatment, in terms of getting the right sleep, the right type of hydration, having the right type of diet."

“A lot has been said, and a lot of people haven’t been happy about how the whole thing has been going on, about how people keep bashing each other and all that stuff.

and the consensus was more or less right, tbh I would still probably take zion’s next 5 years over ja’s even considering injury risk. zion is already knocking on the door of being an elite elite dude it’s just a matter of staying on the floor. I’m much lower on ja than the consensus but to me he’s like an evolved derrick rose, a really good player but overvalued as a max guy imho

lol embiid is such a baby

it’s only because I have a soft spot for philly that I don’t completely hate him. had a long talk with my dad last night that I was going to have to root against them in the first round it pains me to have to do it

I'm not going to defend Embiid - he obviously wants an MVP very badly - I just want him to shut up about it after he wins.

i want embiid to get it because i don't want to hear him talk about it for the rest of my life if he doesn't

yes. also just worry about having energy in the 4th quarter of a tight game 6 or 7 coming up.

hollinger picks the ILH bowl celtics vs nuggets

lets do this

strus has remembered how to shoot

miami has 12 points "all strus"

23 point strus half

This is shaping up to be a good finish. Hasn't been more than a couple points either way since I started watching in the 2nd.

its strus world baby

strus time

congrats to heat they have played it in

fun game, liking the play ins so far, warts and all
