    Telling ya Rivers has a tough time in the playoffs. If they lose the series to Atlanta Morey could be aggressive with changes.

    Outside of AD you couldnt design a better companion to Dame in a lab. They help mitigate each other's weaknesses perfectly

    Simmons for CJ? If the Blazers keep Powell that would be home run.

    Utah looks as good as any team Ive seen in the poffs. The Suns have looked good too.

    Simmons is like a backcourt Rodman. His defense is all that matters. He will stop guys from scoring but if you are looking for him to contribute a ton offensively you’ll be disappointed. The FT shooting is just so atrocious. Mental midget and if that doesn’t get fixed you can’t have a guy that good and expensive sitting whenever it’s close at the end.

    maybe Philly really really wants CJ, and another team really really wants Simmons, and is willing to give up a player that Portland really really wants. win-win-win

    No no no. Why would we not want simmons?

    Sigh been dreaming of portland somehow being able to get him here since his draft.

    Look at how MDA unlocked Westbrook. He can do the same for Ben.

    Embiid and Curry were the only Sixers to make a FG in the second half
