    yeah... if we win, this will be by far the toughest win of any team ever.

    100% I know mental health gets thrown around a lot these days. But imagine your whole basketball family turn on you on live TV. That is something you either sink or swim. Hopefully his after basketball life will be better than is basketball life.

    Young players should take this as a lesson, always work on your game!

    :D at Embiid, guy acts so clownish at times. Also, he’s not this young up and coming star anymore, he’s 29 years old, his time to get it done is right now. Should never have traded for Harden though, almost nobody comes up smaller in the biggest moments.

    Lakers vs C Bags Final would be unreal. Little bit of me really loves the Lakers vs Heat Final too. It would double validate the 2020 title and the Lakers could celebrate two titles against the same team during the parade.

    PHI loses in BOS, Game 7. Embiid and Beard didn't really show up, but MY GAWD: Doc should be fired for their Game 6 in PHI, 4th Q. Just that alone. The entire team panicked when they didn't need to. It looked like a self-fulfilling prophecy to me.

    You go down 15 at home when you have a chance to close out the Bags, come back, go up by - was it 3 or 5? anyway...- and just one 'n done jacked up 3s from the corner. And Monty Freakin' Williams gets fired?

    New owner of the Suns looks to be just as big of a doucher as Sarver was. I think he fired Monty because he wants his own guy. Philly should go after Monty and let Doc go.

    You mean the handful of games he had with KD couldn't net them a championship and basically giving up all their depth?

    That dbag held onto the ball, that was why Jokic pushed his a**.

    I can’t ever be happy about a C Bags playoff win, but I can be happy to see the three losers, Doc - Beard - LOLMVP show their true colors.

    Playing in Denver is no joke. Hopefully they get acclimated being there a couple days. Also I will of course be rooting for Miami.

    Honestly, he is richer than I will EVER BE and it's hard to feel too sorry for him. Worst case scenario is that he is out of the league and living in a 3000 sf house in any area of the country he wants and never needing to work again while he lives a nice middle class existence. Not too bad for a few short years of work. My wife and I worked for decades and we have less than him.

    Murray should be expending more energy on defense than 2020, Lakers have a little more fire power on the perimeter
