Man Andre Drummond is so low effort out there lol. Has be neen like this?

I redact

Embiid just needs to retire tbh. He's just annoying with the injuries at this point

 

[spursistan]

Closeout games are when final desperation sets in for the losing team. This is why they are never easy even for a veteran, championship team like the Celtics playing at home.

Does anyone know why Buddy Hield doesn't get playing time with the Hawks?

Figured they could use his 3 point shooting when main rotation doesn't have it.

 

[100%Duncan]

Hawks fizzling out. Hate to see it

 

[Mugen]

Gutsy game from the Sixers tbh.

 

[DAF86]

Celtics are overrated, imho.

 

[gilmor2002]

Gutsy game from the Sixers tbh.

Embid when healthy is prob a top-5 performer in today's NBA; better than both Tatum and Brown

 

[spursparker9]

So the WCF will be the "real" NBA finals....

I guess this will be the same for the next 5 years unless some major injuries happen to the West or the league finally awaken to change to 1 to 16 seeds

What happened to Boston tonight? I assumed that was a bunny for them.

They aren't as good as media wants to make you believe.

Embiid turned it on in the second half and the Celtics don't have an answer for elite bigs.

I mean KD probably wasn't wrong about Jabari tbh

I remember getting into it with someone here who said that Jabari Smith was an elite defender and worth $25 million a year.

I forgot who that was but I’ve been down here in H-Town the entirety of that bums career and been to plenty of Rockets games and I can say that dude sucks. And Houston is stuck with him and that shitty ass contract.

I'm still puzzled about noone giving Larry Bird shit for his EOTY award...after all it was the year he traded us Kawhi.
But yeah, I guess they just wanted the MVP/COTY/EOTY thing.

We saw Kawhi and PG teamed up together on the Paper Clips. They didn’t even make it past the second round never mind back to back ECFs like Bird did in 13,14.

 

[gilmor2002]

They no longer have Kornet

 

[timtonymanu]

Derrick White has been insanely bad in the playoffs.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

So now we look to Thursday and see if Minnesota has anything for Denver at home?

 

[Raven_]

we so back babydoll

Sochan dominated garbage time in the Knicks game 5 victory.
