    Sorry man, but you said

    KL was going right hard to get by Simmons (6'10''), he beat him to be met by 7'+ giant of a human being Embiid - so he had to transition from a hard right to a step back while shooting high to go over a guy with 7'6'' wingspan - and there is no skill involved? I think it was just as hard a shot as Dame's was and required just as much skill. The bounce means nothing to the degree of difficulty and skill required to make it.

    That was a tough shot. Skill or Luck doesn't really matter much now. Leonard is a great player and he got the shot off. It went in. Tough loss for the Sixers but i am happy for Toronto. That team has only made the WCF's once before.

    Really liked Marc Gasol's class, going out of his way to console a crying Embiid.

    It's a shame that Pau is injured - otherwise both CF would feature a brother vs brother story-line.

    Yes it was a very though shot. And he left it way short. Then he got lucky and it bounced in. Honestly I don't find it impressive, and I would be devastated if I was a sixers fan to get eliminated in such an awful way. Don't get me wrong it doesn't take away from the performance he had that night, but on that last shot he got lucky. I don't know why people love those kind of shots.
    Like there was a Griffin 3pt game winner couple years ago that went rim backboard rim again then in, everybody was saying what a great shot by Griffin but I was like, ugh such a lucky game winner

    We need to arrive early and switch Curry's on the down low.

    Hilarious huh? CJ even liked it. I consider myself a pretty creative guy, but I can't take credit for this one FAMS. It was YahooSports I believe. Cracks me up every time I watch it!

    Yep, but imagine if that game 7 was the Finals.

    Huh, NBA draft lottery is tonight. Forgot what it was like to be invested in this thing.

    Feels good.

    Hoping Zion doesn't end up in LA.

    They'd trade him if they got him.

    Hope it doesn't end up on the Knicks. Everybody is acting like he's 100% going there so I just want it to not happen.

    Did Marc become the better player?

    Well i would say now Marc is a better player but that's just because of age.

    Either amazing comeback by Bucks or total collapse by Raps, depending on point of view.

    I never liked these kinds of scenarios, but for every Raptor player not named Lowry to not make a single bucket in the 4th is beyond unacceptable.
