uh... LeBron, the players had to agree to the starting dates of the season. y'all wanted the money for a 72 game season, you get what comes with it.

Oh come on LeBron is the genius when it comes to health related matters. I mean its not like he'd do something like he'd break covid protocol in order to go a marketing event

Of course Atlanta will make the finals. That is the way it is. A virtually gimme for the Suns if they can get out of the West but their leader gets Covid and will put us behind the 8 ball to kick off the WCF.

I missed the sixers hawks game. Any blame on Doc?


Media ripped the bucks and coach today.

Utah is choking away an opportunity to beat the Clippers without KL.

Utah seems to just be content shooing 3’s.

clippers are really impressing me with this performance.

Did I miss this? Stan Van Gundy is out as the Pelicans coach.

well, I would not really blame him too much, was mainly sixers players just missing everything.

they are way to dependent on embid in my opinion.

yep. That should make that team much better if the next coach features Zion instead of in graham.

Is Mitchell out? 10 points halfway through the third is prettt uncharacteristic of him in big games.

I wouldn’t count them as a gimme. They slaughtered us late in the season and they’ve been on a tear since McMillan took over.

Gobert finally hurting clippers going small with offensive putbacks. If clips tried that on us we would have to beg Ayton to do the same.

no, he is passing out of doubles or launching 3’s.

has not been driving much. Clippers are defending him well. They miss Conley.

yeah they are a pretty good team. I actually think they have a chance if harden plays nearly as bad as last night.

Philly is done. Psychologically don’t see how they recover from this loss.

They LOST? How is that even possible? I stopped paying attention when they were up 20-something in the third.

Edit: Ben Simmons 4-14 from the line, LOL.

As dorky as Steve ballmer is, I’m pretty sure I’d look just like him if I owned a team and they were winning.

Let hawks close to 18 to end 3rd. And then hawks outscored them 40-19 in the 4th. Sixers were absolutely pathetic.

Is something wrong with Mitchell? He has not been driving to the bucket most of this game.

He missed a bit of time to end the season with a bad ankle. I believe he's missed a couple of playoff games also but that was 1st round. Without Conley though he's had to carry more of a load offensively and hasn't been able to get back to full health.
