Mobley is the x-factor and he wasn’t good in any of Boston games this year other than the 2H last night. If he can hit his averages in Boston series I think that will be a huge key. I worry about Allen in these matchups. He struggled last night but we don’t see him down the stretch. Maybe different with Zinger obviously? Maybe the lineups can now adding Hunter. Will be interesting
Mostly agree...but allen had a double double in first Boston game (on 5-6 shooting). double digit boards but only 8 pts in second (4-6 shooting)..maybe needs to be more aggressive and was in game 3. went for 17 and 18. No need to worry about Allen in this matchup IMO. Other than needs to shoot more if anything as he hit 19-29 shots.

You have to hope he retires bc nobody is taking that contract. I doubt he would retire but you never know
It’s likely time for another process. The only thing that could save the franchise now is they catch ping pong balls for Flagg and then it’s Maxey Flagg PG and Embiid is just serviceable at center for 28 minutes a game

Flip Bridges back to PHX + Towns. There you go, PHX will add salary to make it work or you can take Beal lol

I know you are joking.

Why would Phoenix do that instead of a package with a ton of picks?

Also, I’m not sure that deal makes NY better.

Might be the rare deal that is bad for both teams.

I'm good. Haven't bet on my team to win a big game/series since The Fumble.

In fact, IF this series takes place I'll take the Cs to win it.

Good to know we're on the same side

I think he might be out longer than Rui to be safe. Rui's jumpers' knee is more of a pain tolerance thing apparently?

JJ said after the game they held Reaves out for precautionary reasons so it might not be too bad. Still, I don't think you schedule an MRI if you're just being cautious.

As for Rui, yeah, sounds like its a tolerance thing which is good news. Said he was dealing with it before, tweaked it and made it worse during the game. So they're gonna give him a week, see if it recovers enough and can deal with the pain

Cavs played their best defense with Allen on the bench and Mobley at the 5. Inserting a combo of Wade, Strus and Hunter. If Boston goes “small” there is no need for Allen on the court imo

I made the joke bc NY doesn’t have any picks and it would be funny seeing Bridges flipped back to PHX. NY realizes Towns adds little value defensively so they include him and extend Robinson with a huge deal. They have to take Beal too bc DBook is too good.

So basically what I am saying…no chance lol

JJ doing a great job....He deserves serious consideration for COY

No doubt he's doing a damn good job and he better get some consideration.

But the Pistons lost 27 or 28 games in a row last season and right now Bickerstaff has them at 6th in EC with a record of 33-27. I think he gets the award.
