April 15, 20232 yr Let's go Cavs! I'm sure many NBA fans will root for Cleveland because Knicks tears are the best tears.
April 15, 20232 yr That Bridges trade by the Sixers will be on lots of top 5 worst trades ever before it’s done.
April 15, 20232 yr Day 1 of the James Harden revenge tour! Day 1 of the James Harden road to the title!

It was a draft night trade, and he was the 10th pick overall. There was no guarantee he would turn out this good. They got an extra 1st for moving down 6 spots, which is fine for value.
April 15, 20232 yr Sixers got nothing from both picks. 13 games and 40 points from Smith and the other pick ended up with OKC. Bridges is going to be a multiple time all-NBA. There was no real reason to make the trade other than being “tricky”.

April 15, 20232 yr Um no he isn't. He is career 50/38/86 and averaged 26 a game since the trade. Also a great defender. He is only 26. The number of players with those stats is pretty small.
April 15, 20232 yr Author 1 minute ago, Fastbreak said: The number of players with those stats is pretty small. Sure but it's a lot more than 15. Jaylen Brown was borderline all-NBA this season. So was Lillard. Take Bridges BKN numbers and extrapolate them over 80 games and he isn't close to all NBA. They were 12-15 with him. His ast and reb numbers are too low and he's never been the best or 2nd player on a good team. I doubt he racks up multiple selections.
April 15, 20232 yr Author Harden's stat line isn't eye popping but he was in total control of that game. Just dictated everything and got whatever he wanted. He's always been one of my favorite players to watch despite the foul baiting stuff. Probably because I'm a Spurs/Manu fan. PHI could be a real tough out for BOS.
April 15, 20232 yr Harden definitely had a great game. Embid is so dominant. If those 2 are in sync it’s trouble for anyone.
April 15, 20232 yr Just flipped over as he was being interviewed and immediately thought of the recent post pointing out how bad he was looking these days. Skid row lookin face. Yikes.
April 15, 20232 yr Mitchell is doing great, Knicks bench is keeping them in the game, because the Cavs bench is awful.

People just don’t understand that we have 30 or 35 guys right now that we’d have called “top 15” 10 or 15 years ago.
April 16, 20232 yr Josh Hart was probably the best deadline acquisition of the year. Dude will be a legit 6 man of the year contender next season. He alone outscored the Cavs bench. It ended up being a 37-14 disparity in the end, just awful performance by LeVert,.and Okoro wasn't doing much. The Cavs should shoot better next game, they were way below their season averages, but so we're the Knicks. This series may go 7, it's a good matchup.

All of the fears I had coming into this series came to fruition. Coaching - Thibs coaching rings around JBB; trapping Garland took him completely out of the game and they neutralized the Cavs bigs by not getting too deep in the paint Bench - Not much to say here other than the Cavs bench is pure ass; Levert's good last 20 games of the season is looking like fools gold Physicality - Although Allen and Mobley are great defenders, both are kind of soft tbh. And sure enough the Knicks (with Randle, Robinson, and Hart) destroyed the Cavs on the offensive glass. In fact, a game like today makes me wonder if Allen should be part of the long-term plan.
April 16, 20232 yr Cavs got murdered on the offensive glass. That was basically the ball game. Young team is going to have to grow up fast. Kings / Warriors is going to be a track meet. I think Sabonis is key. He's a poor defender but the Warriors have no one to exploit him.
April 16, 20232 yr Author This Sacramento crowd is fucking NUTS. I mean this is one of the loudest crowds I've ever heard. Edited April 16, 20232 yr by ztejas
April 16, 20232 yr Author Fox might be in the best shape of anyone in the NBA. He looks like he could play 100 mins a night.
April 16, 20232 yr Some bullshit foul calls going warriors way in this 4th quarter. Starting to wonder if the fix is in. Fuckin' Bullshit

April 16, 20232 yr sabonis getting that rebound after tussling with draymond 90 feet from the hoop is unbelievable. that's playoff basketball. that's great shit there. Edited April 16, 20232 yr by shadow_operative
