May 14, 20232 yr Sixers being down 15 by the end of the 3Q was as predictable as Harden being like 3/11.
May 14, 20232 yr Is Doc even overrated anymore? Most saw this coming. I'm not surprised. He's a guy that raises the floor but lowers the ceiling.

After his stint in Boston, this is who he is and what is expected of him. Game 7 losses and in embarrassing form. And still lmao at Embiid winning MVP because of his crying campaign.

May 14, 20232 yr good fuck those techbro douchebags. they were positioned with the #2 pick in the draft to extend their dynasty and they picked james wisemanI'm just wondering who all those dorky douchebag bandwagon fans will latch onto once this form of the Warriors are done.
May 14, 20232 yr With Boston winning, isn't this going to be the same 4 conference finals teams as the bubble?
May 14, 20232 yr When's Embiid gonna go take the MVP trophy down to Jokic and apologize for the mixup? Seriously just a complete joke that he got robbed because of voter fatigue.

May 14, 20232 yr Haven't watched a second of this game 7, so someone please tell me there are some sarcastic "MVP! MVP!" chants going out right now???

May 14, 20232 yr Just now, Slacks said: Jimmy Butler and Jayson Tatum are overrated. I've read that. This playoffs. Here. Tatum has one great game while Butler has been consistently great in the playoffs. Tatum seems to really be a front runner. Not in the sense of a talking shit but just not being able to overcome adversity and will a victory when things are not firing on all cylinders.

May 14, 20232 yr Playoff clutch time James Harden doing what he do: 41 minutes, 9 points, 3/11 FG, 5 turnovers.

But considering Game 6 where he scored 16 of his 19 in the 4th quarter, where he definitely wasn't playing well through 3, and then puts up 51 in a Game 7...shows at least some resolve.

I'd agree if you said he's sometime inconsistent, but this team doesnt go to the NBA finals last year and WCF this year if he's a 'Front Runner'.

May 14, 20232 yr Nice game for the Celtics. Held it together and dominated. Tatum is pretty damn good at this bouncy ball thing. Good defense by the entire team.
May 14, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, Slacks said: Dude did not want to shoot after half. It was crazy. Can't let basketball continue to get in the strip club's way.
May 14, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, Slacks said: Dude did not want to shoot after half. It was crazy. 11 field goal attempts in elimination games is pretty much Harden's signature. Klay sucked shit through a straw in his series, but at least he went down shooting. I'd rather an offensive star be 3-22 than 3-11 in a big game.
May 14, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, 6th Street said: I get to say this every year: hiring Doc Rivers with the expectation of winning playoff series is colossal franchise mismanagement.
May 14, 20232 yr TTo be fair, Be. SIMMONS hasn't played basketball since then, Chris Paul and Blake Griffith (iykyk) haven't done any more than they did with Doc, and Harden looked like this in elimination games with OKC, Houston, and Brooklyn. I'm not saying Doc Rivers is great, but he hasn't made any team worse and his teams usually get better at defense. Fwiw, I picked BOS to win it all so PHI losing in game 7 is a game better than I expected.

May 15, 20232 yr Like Phoenix, Philly is in a tough, tough spot. Embiid sucked shit through a straw today but he had a tremendous year. But he turns 30 next March and is owed over $200 the next 4 years - any step backwards from him and that contract becomes among the worst in the league. Harden will undoubtedly decline his player option for next season and become a FA - could be good or bad for Philly. Tobias is owed $39 million next season. 😬 And then there's Doc. Unless Maxey and Melton make unrealistically gigantic leaps, I can't see that team winning 50 games next season. Selecting Fultz over Tatum (and maybe to a lesser extent choosing to pay Tobias instead of Butler) will forever be the great what-if for Philly fans.

People keep saying that, but the Sixers were going to take Fultz all along. They were so desperate to make that pick, they traded the #3 to the Celtics for the #1. Had Philly (or the Lakers) made any noise about taking Tatum that year, Boston keeps their pick and takes Tatum anyway. And Philly wasn't going to back out of the deal once they had the #1, because if they had fucked over Celtics and taken Tatum, then that's the fastest way to keep the entire league from doing business with you down the road.

But yeah, what I mean is he's never going to turn it around mid game. When he's on he's as good as anyone. When it's a bad first half, just send him home.

When it's a bad first half, just send him home. Shooting percentage is moving the goal post. He did exactly turn it around in the 2nd half of game 6 and ended up with 36 in a loss. He's about as good as anybody in the league offensively or defensively.
