GSW bringing Curry off the bench like he is still injured. BS

Maxey scored 38 today in a playoff game. Blazers gave up the 16th pick in the 2020 draft for RoCo

16 Isaiah Stewart
18 Josh Green
19 Saddiq Bey
21 Tyrese Maxey
25 Immanuel Quickley
30 Desmond Bane

lol...does that even make the top-10 in Olshey's shit-parade?

Olshey got Simons and Little at the bottom of the first round though. You can't win em all. We all thought Covington was the perfect complementary player for Dame. If we had taken Maxey, he wouldn't have played much behind Dame, CJ, and Simons.

I’m not sure I would want to be in Philly’s position this summer when James Harden is looking for an extension. He’s turning 33 this summer and already looks like he’s on the decline. He’s had an injury history and isn’t known for taking care of his body. He’s up for a $220M+, 4 year extension this summer. That means you’ll be paying him $50M+ per year when he’s 36-37 years old.

Daryl Morey Is in love with Harden and will do anything & everything to keep him.

Yep. Can't shoot so he passes. Wants other players to cover for him.

Come on man, every shooter has an off night, their ability to shift and facilitate at a very very high level shouldn't be disparaged. I don't like Harden either but he had an impressive game and was a big part of why they won.
 
If the Nets win this game and Simmons comes back (it was reported that in the lead up to this series he was a full participant in practice), the Celtics are fucked. If they had the ability to bring Simmons in to shut down Tatum and do nothing on offense but rim run, they would be really scary.
 
What a finish. Wow!!! Horford might have been the MVP of that game.

Harden always has an off night.
 
Tough 0-5 start to CJs playoff career with the Pels
 
It's amazing that the Pels' big 3 are a dreadful 9-34 at half, but the rest of the team is an even more atrocious 2-15.

I have to imagine their coaching staff will chalk this up to a fluky offensive performance.

I would chalk it up to advancing through two play-in games and facing a rested #1 seed. I feel like the PIT is pointless unless the top-6 teams are also playing during that time span for seeding. One PIT game might not be a deal killer, but two of them is a big uphill battle.

Supporting cast went 9-12 in the 3rd, and suddenly the Pels are in this. If CJ and JV can wake up in the 4th, they could have a chance.
