Not true. DeRozan was available (and rumored) via trade well before the Westbrook trade took place.


He's talking like we could have gotten DeRozan and kept all the role players and somehow just traded Kuzma for Hield straight up. None of that was possible.

Sixers sweep the Cavs but Cavs battled in every matchup with them. Misleading 4-0 season series.
They got the Ws which is all that matters but a good take. I mean, seems in most of the games (for sure last 2) Philly at full strength and Cavs decimated with injuries. Hung tough but couldn't finish it off.

Well Harden and Embiid did have 65 points on 16 made FG’s. It’s pretty sickening watching Harden “play basketball” it’s like watching a scam artist and refs keep rewarding him. He just flops around the entire game. It’s why Harden will never win a title, he is a fraud.
I do assume that is partly due to a frustrating season full of injuries occurring over and over. Terrible luck.
Hate blaming refs but Embiid can barrel into a guy and be sent to the line...he can also smack Garland and not be called for a foul.

Guess the good news is it saved us from Harden either hitting a game winner or getting sent to the line to win it?

More good news is we'll get the old apology from the 2 minute report. Yay us.

It's not even an opinion. He did this when he was losing Pippen. so did Phillip.
You win 6 titles and want to shut it down that’s what you do

Why? It’s done now with 4s and 5s at all levels of basketball.
how many other Cs are at 8 apg? How about 7? 6?

wanting Embiid to win MVP and making a case for him is fine but to try and diminish Jokic because he can also pass is comedy gold.

You’re asking the wrong question. How many guys that have the ball in their hands on every possession running point average 8 assists?

No, I asked the right question....how many centers are capable of running point and averaging 8 apg (or 6 or 7)?

Your center is really good but couldn't dream of doing that even if his team needed him to. I can see why you'd diminish it.

Jokic isn’t a 4 cause he can’t guard that position. Offensively that’s what he is. He’s a point forward. So we go gah gah over the fat white Draymond Green playing point forward from the center position. (In fairness, he’s Draymond with an actual jumper and a willingness to take it). All these people are saying the game has changed blah blah blah. Ok. So why is it a big deal when a guy with the ball in his hands all game puts up assist numbers that put him in between Tyrese Halliburton and Russell Westbrook (having a shitty season and playing with LeBron who dominates the ball).

Do you want to live in a world where Nikola Jokic has more MVPs than Kobe Bryant? Haha. I don’t
