I hope clippers/nuggets are ready because Portland is peaking in time for the playoffs

Hottest team in the league currently - but every time I get hugely optimistic they shit the bed. But now that CJ & Nurk are in full season shape and they have finally gelled since the Powell trade. I like this playoff roster.

UD just exposed Dwight as the pussy that he is.

Been waiting for someone to expose this punk since last year

 

[bksballer89]

Hit that punk in his mouth and did nothing about it

It's not because he can't play, but to give their bench depth and a scorer on the 2nd team.

No no no. Thibs is defense first , that is why Payton starts , hold the team down early, then put rose in to spark the offense...

Looks like the Heat will win this one. They can't miss and the Sixers can't make a basket.

You have a lifetime pass on the short bus don’t you?

How many knick games you watch?

I never played in the minor leagues but I know the game. Even at his age Rose is still the better defender and the stats bear that out.

I'm sure the Sixers thought they would have locked up the top seed by the weekend. Now they will probably have to play all of their top guys tomorrow vs Orlando even though it is likely not needed.

I would rest Embiid for the rest of season. Can beat Orlando without him

Not sure why they got on the plane. No energy. No fire and they got punked by fluke trash getting pity minutes in the final home game. Just a shitty effort all around.

Jimmy getting his 3 ball ready for the playoffs. LOVEO TO SEE IT

Honestly I much prefer that they play one of these Magic games meaningfully. I hate when my team has a long layoff between games that matter at all.

Have to say the refs really swallowed the whistles tonight.

Dwight is a fake tough guy and messed up as UD is one of the few guys in the league that is really about it.

UD is not Jokic.

Dwight was the one player on the Lakers that I hated to see get a ring.

Would have preferred Cousins to not tear his ACL and get that ring

Agreed. Jokic has talent.

You have a weird hatred for a guy who gets 17 minutes a night

I assume you missed the playoffs last year when he tried his fake tough guy act against guys who were far more important to their team than he was so they couldn't do anything. When you mess with someone not important to their team? You get hit in the mouth and don't do shit about it because deep down he is a punk and always been one

Classic definition of a fake tough guy.
