Kyrie announcing he was re-signing in Boston was the kiss of death to them re-signing Rozier. So they better enjoy him while they got him.

I still think Pheonix makes a play for him at some point. Couple 1sts and Bender.

Markelle Fultz for Evan Fournier. Who says no? (And yes, I know their salaries don't match, but Fournier for Fultz + Bayless works perfectly.)

What the...? Philadelphia would never even consider that ... Fultz is already better than Fournier. Magic would probably dump him for salary relief. Fournier can't guard a paperclip.

You guys catch Stevens benching Kyrie in the fourth tonight?

Yep. I mentioned it in this thread. Kyrie and Hayward were holding the team back, not helping them as people thought they would. I think the Celtics made ECF because those two were hurt, not despite it.
 
These knuckleheads in the studio are showing that they don't really pay much attention to the NBA as you would think their job would require.. Dennis Schroeder has had that blonde streak in his hair for years and Shaq/Barkley/Ernie/Kenny are acting like it's something new. Ernie says it's team colors. SMH.

Kyrie had better stats than Dame last year.
 
Man Schroeder can disappear at times. But when he gets going, look out.
 
Dame also had a better PER than Kyrie. And Dame had higher WinShares.
 
So no, Kyrie didn't have better stats than Dame.

And oh yeah, Dame was First Team All NBA.

Well Kyrie missed a lot of time, but Id take Dame over Kyrie any time. Its not ‘just’ being a homer either. Could you imagine how freaking good Dame would be with Stephens coaching him? :-0

Games Played is a stat. Dame was statistically better on that one. Also ppg, rpg, apg, I didn't even look up steals and blocks. The coach is named Stevens but I believe Stotts is a good coach and Dame isn't being held back by him.
 
Dame had the same spg as Kyrie and Dame was slightly higher in bpg.

It is stevens.
 
Do you think Russ wants his team to win without him? That ego is strong.

That right-handed hook for the and-1 Simmons had in the 2nd quarter is just further proof to my point that I think he's actually right-hand dominant but (for whatever reason) shoots jumpers with his left hand.

Simmons is right side dominant, even kicks a football with his right foot. His father made him use his non-dominant left hand growing up, and now Ben finds it uncomfortable to use his right. Imagine how unstoppable he'd be if he knew how to use his dominant right side.

I don't know, but Russ got an eyeful of what his teammates normally see in the 4th quarter of close games. Schroeder doing his best Westbrick impersonation, forcing and air balling a three followed by turning the ball over with the game on the line.

Schroeder is just Westbrick light, a turnover prone, stat padding, ball hog who can't even shoot .300 from 3-point range, but keeps forcing them up anyway.

Just realized Kerr has been to four straight NBA Finals as a player and as a coach. 7 championship rings total. Hall of Fame.
 
Barkley doesn't think we'll make the playoffs. Jesus Christ. OKC, Denver, and Utah are so overrated. None of those 3 are any better than us. Spurs aren't better than us either. What a joke. Of course, we brought some of this on ourselves by getting swept in the first round. We'll have to fight against that all year long as well we should. We reap what we sow.

Utah isnt, they're legit. But Denver (Can't defend) and OKC (Russ) are still very overrated for sure.
