Yeah, that was some embarrassing stuff.

I think they're done, which is tough times, because they should be the better team.

I'm rooting for the Hawks and Suns.

BUT I think KP's value could quickly be the same in a year if there isn't improvement. I am still in the "trade KP this summer" camp.

I think this summer is the perfect time to trade him. There won't be a better time. The reason is that you can say he's now completely healthy and made it through the playoffs ready to go. He's coming into next season healthy with a full offseason of work. And most importantly you can blame his recent play on there being issues with the coach. Not to throw RC under the bus but it's a perfect opportunity to sell on what he could be in a better environment "Now that he's finally healthy". 

That's exactly how I would frame it. He's been sold on what he could be his entire career so far. Why stop now?

ATL also a lot better than their record suggests, lots of injuries, and clearly Lloyd Pierce held them back; McMillan has dominated since he took over.

That's just Doc doing his thing. He's the only coach in NBA history to lose a series after being up 3-1 more than once. I think he's done it 3 times now. McMillan is schooling him.

Curry has been the best player for the Sixers in the last two games. Completly different shot selection compared to his Mavs days. More volume. More risk. Contested, of the dribble...doesn´t matter.

Seeing Seth Curry turn into exactly what we needed next to Luka this year is making me sick.

Could he be attainable this offseason??

I think PHI cannot use him right because of Embiid....he could ROCK next to Luka.

They refused to include him in a Harden package. Would love it. Don´t see a way.

God no. Having both KP and Simmons taking up max contracts while playing like 1-dimensional role players would be a nightmare.

I think any Simmons trade means that KP is gone.

CORRECT. Would think KP would have to be outgoing to a third team somehow.

Does it seem like we're seeing more game 7's this season than normal to anyone else, or is it just me?

Big Terance Mann fan! I wonder if he was on the radar of Donnie and Voulgaris in the 2019 Draft. If Voulgaris loved Josh Green a year later then Mann was basically an older/more experienced version of him. They took Roby at 45 instead

this game is lit

Utah lose twice to Kawhi-less Clippers, Snyder on the hot seat? 30th pick this year for Utah.

Not over yet, but smh that the Kawhi-less Clippers are doing this to the Jazz. Makes the Mavs look good if the Clippers make it to the Finals.

Btw Maxey saved the 76ers season today. That´s why you invest regular season minutes into your rookies. To get this reaction.

Gobert -19, Favors +12.

Gotta have at least 2 ball-handlers/shot-creators in your lineup (preferably 3). Kawhi, Paul George and Reggie Jackson can make things happen. Batum can shoot but is also a high IQ player who can pass (averaged 5+ assists multiple times in his career). Even with Kawhi out these last 2 games, they still have the players who can create offense and then you hope the other players can make their shots with or without Kawhi

Have to say, they built well in the post-CP/Blake era.

Why not throw $15 mil a year at Jackson? Clipps don't have the cap to match, do they?
