    For a guy that's headed to free agency in the summer you'd think he'd be relishing his opportunity to play playoff basketball. He's not wrong, but my guy, enjoy it while it lasts. You'll probably never get playoff burn again.

    Philly really could use CJ. We could probably fleece em.

    Quick reminder that New Balance had zero KL merch available during the Raps historic run last year. Now they come out with this... once he's left that team and their fans won't buy it. Brilliant.

    It's like Denver and Philly both have a bunch of good pieces but haven't can't find the right way to put them together. Meanwhile teams like Miami and Toronto manage to be greater than the sum of their parts.

    But we also are WAY better than the sum of the parts...... is it not coaching in our situation?

    Nope! Cannot be that. Our reason is only because of Lillard.

    At least Philly has an excuse because they don’t have the player who runs their offense. Denver has all its major pieces.

    Game 3 and both Indy and Orlando appeared to have thrown in the towel. I wonder how many players wanted to opt out, felt they couldn't for some reason, and are now showing it?

    you do know that’s there’s no correlation between ankle injuries and low tops right?

    theres practically no difference between the two and it’s more of a case of bad luck/weak ankles

    Just noticed James Harden has purple and gold colored shoes on today. Any guess who he is wanting to play against in the second round?

    The Thunder have absolutely no structure in their offense. Tons of 1 on 1 play. They have one of the smartest PGs in the league but they prefer isolation play having Gilgeous and Schroeder driving and taking tough shots.

    PS I only care because I have a good chunk of change riding on them

    Gee, I didn't know we were included in the post I was replying to, but of course it's coaching. I mean, we're dead last in assists per game and bottom 5 in the last FOUR seasons including this one.

    Do you happen to have those numbers since the restart? I would think the assist numbers have gotten better? Are they even available?
