I mean how often they gonna hit half their threes?
But showing you how to stop Boston. Clamp down on the unicorn and let Tatum and brown get tired playing both ends.
Heat still prob lose but would be a helluva story if they won.

He called me a loser via text last night. It’s definitely my fault.
He stunk out loud in the 4th and absolutely embarrassing. The rest of the team also is an absolute joke, especially when he sits. He was out for 4 minutes in 2nd Q and their world fell apart, which is also unacceptable. The offense couldn’t do a thing without him out there, which is so troubling. He came up short when it mattered, and his best teammates didn’t do enough to stop the bleeding. 15 made shots in 4 games from Tobias Harris, at $40m per year., Par for the course.
It’s what happens when you have shit ownership.

I can't believe he wasn't demanding the ball more though I mean Knicks did a good job denying him but he's the former MVP - he's gotta be more assertive. Brunson putting on a show every chance he got in the 4th was incredible.
But I expected embiid to at least try to match the super star energy. Dude collapsed under the weight of expectation in front of a hostile home crowd.
Be interesting what happens with this roster next year. Nurse needs to stay he's the best coach they've had in years but I dunno if even he can get through to Joel.

Embiid is running on one leg and his face doesn’t work, but he’s still a bitch and a dirty player. Blow it up.

Starts with Jo since he’s a top 5 guy, or at least needs to act like it. Especially in the 4th. Just frustrating cause it it’s a case of both things being true, where he’s fallen short due to injuries/poor play, but also the incompetence of everyone around him. Because of who he is, has to be receiving bulk of blame.
I can’t think of many teams that do *this poorly* when one dude sits, on a consistent year in and year out basis. Yes, you’re going to struggle, but these other franchises do 1,000 times better to stay afloat when shit hits the fan.
All for considering moving on from the guy, just not sure what his value is at this stage, so we’ll see. Good thing is they finally have some cap space this summer after I drive Tobis bum ass to the airport. Gave this guy 40 m the last 5 years for him to shit his fucking pants every goddamn playoffs.
I believe in Maxey, but even he has some end game head scratchers that need to change.

I believe in Maxey, but even he has some end game head scratchers that need to change. Philly is stuck with Embiid. No one wants his bum ass. And Maxey is the Tyler Herro/Duncan Robinson of the team. They’re stuck with him too. But… Durant is gonna leave the Suns. Not saying Philly should pursue Durant. Fuck that. But Durant getting traded from the Suns is gonna create a chain reaction throughout the league. Philly needs to get a head start and see what pieces they can get. If they’re gonna blow it up, this the summer to do it. Start talking to all the teams today. See what moves they gonna make.

We’ll see. They have been targeting this summer for a while now because of their known cap space since Tobi is out. I don’t get the sense they want to trade Jo anyway, even if they feel they are “stuck” with him.
Maxey is fine, and is bette than the Robinson/Herro comp, he’s continually made the leaps I need to see, it’s just small game things which I think he can get better in time.
They need to round out the roster as a whole much better. Will be interesting to see how they approach it, as I’m sure it’s going to be big game hunting, but not sure if that is the smartest way to spend their cash.

Maxey Worth whatever he wants.
LeBron being a free agent is gonna be a fun off-season though. Expect some new super team to be formed from the old bones of him and Durant somewhere.

Lebron KD super team be pretty sick. I don’t think LeBron leaves L.A., but Durant coming to L.A. is doable if a 3rd team gets involved.

I mean watch out for morey to put his hat in the ring for a max contract. LeBron would be the easiest one to get since Durant would involve pieces going back and Philly doesn't have much to offer.
Still insane the only no trade clause in all of the NBA is Bradley beals albatross of a contract.
But really the dark horse will be the team that drafts bronny.

I’m rooting for the Magic so thebtskink can face another Florida team. Plus, if the Cavs lose, donny and frankyt will spend all summer arguing for Donovan Mitchell to join the Sixers.
