With Nurkic in foul trouble and Kanter unplayable, do you honestly believe Collins wouldn’t have helped? He is everything we were missing.

Nope.

If you’re interested, Collins had 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 blocks in Game 6 against the Nuggets in 2019. I think it’s safe to say he would’ve helped this time. He’s certainly better than RHJ.

malarkey

for all we know, Zach would have done as well the 2nd time around against the Nuggets as CJ did...you know, play like shit
 
I see KD's on another tirade. Jay Williams said he ran into KD at a party where KD said not to ever compare Giannis to him. Williams told the story on ESPN to build a narrative that KD is taking this series with the Bucks personally.

Now KD denies ever saying it.

I'm surprised probably the majority of the comments I read had people saying Williams was lying. What am I missing? KD's shown himself to be incredibly sensitive. He's got burner accounts out the wazzoo. It's easy for me to imagine he was at this party, had a little too much to drink, and he said the part that was supposed to remain silent. Williams doesn't really have anything to gain by lying and a lot to lose.

Well yes, every team would like 6 extra fouls in the first half and a towel-waver in the second.
 
Watching Philly play, I am wondering why they would want to trade for CJ when they have Seth Curry. So, decided to look up their all time playoff shooting percentages: Curry 48/41/92; CJ 44/38/73.

Cj is such a terrible FT shooter for whatever reason especially situational ones

Made me curious about Powell; he is 45/38/81. CJ does have more than twice as many assists per game as either of the others. and a better rebounder.

Interesting that Hawks have a 10 man rotation. And it's the second five that have kept them in this game.
Gallanari and Huerter are +14 and +13 and have shot 11 for 14 between them. They also have Lou Williams in that second five.
 


We haven’t been the same since we let this dude go. Great defender as well. He’s what we THINK Simons is.. smh

CJ may demand a little more attention than Seth... just a little.
 
Look at Milton ballin for philly and winning this game for them.

Stotts didnt even try playing a bench player to give this opportunity

Is it possible to watch a game without talking endlessly about how much Portland sucks?

For some, no. It's annoying and it doesn't help but everyone has the right to post what they want so long as they're not breaking the rules.

Is it accurate to say Seth is better in the Playoffs than MeJ was?

It's very accurate to say that teams don't game plan for Seth the way they do for CJ. Seeing that they likely look at him like he is the fourth scoring option after Embiid, Harris and Simmons.

I heard a guy last night proposing a trade for CJ from the Pistons for Mason Plumlee and Jerami Grant.......thought it was an interesting trade idea...guy is a Pistons fan....would put CJ in a position to have his own team and a green light to score as well as a big chance he makes the allstar team in the east...would give us a guy who can pass like Nurk and who Dame really likes to replace Kanter and Grant is a good player as well..would also clear some cap space I believe

Do the salaries even match? Genuinely curious.

I don't do that trade machine stuff...the Piston fan who mentioned it said it worked but who knows.....I don't care if we use Jody's billions to improve the team or pay luxury tax.....luxury tax for the Blazers is still probably cheaper than a spare part for Paul's submarine...I think the guy even said the Blazers could get a pick as well in the deal
