Or just a better tank commander than any other coach in the league. Successfully sabotaged Wemby and prevented him from ruining their lottery odds. Sochan playing PG and a minutes restriction for Wemby...whatever it takes.

Of course their percentage of makes was really high, but they were able to generate decent shots. I can't see Mavs being anywhere near a team as Celtics if their top two offensive players wouldn't be available.

The man has a point...
I lived in the Bay area. Barry is such an ass. I cringed when I saw this.
While I tend to agree with him, that stratification doesn't really end. Can you compare Wilt to Wemby? John Stockton to Luka? In reality, it's position, era, but how do you deal with players who cross eras, played multiple positions, etc?
I like putting players on tiers, rather than ranking. IMO the GOAT tier is MJ, Kareem, and LBJ.

After the 76ers' playoff loss to the Knicks, Kelly Oubre Jr. was involved in a car accident, crashing his Lamborghini when he reportedly ran a red light and collided with a Hyundai Elantra, per

He’s done that in the playoffs once ever. In a loss. August 21, 2020. In the bubble. After Luka left early with a sprained ankle. Then missed the next 3 games with knee soreness.
Fools’ gold if ever there were such a thing. But you keep waiting for that 30 piece.

That's actually insane and Embiid should've been ejected.

At that point Embiid needs to be suspended for next game. Just the 1 play on Robinson is enough for me to think that it should be upgraded to a flagrant 2. That Draymond Special and the Hartenstien groin kick should be at least a flagrant 1. 3 flagrant points is an automatic suspension.

Side note, the Nuggets are a machine. Aaron Gordon is insane with his hustle on the glass.

Basically the same script that we saw last season. Lakers up double digits in the first half. Nuggets couldn't care less and take control of the game in the second half. Unlike other teams they don't need hot 3-point shooting for comebacks. They wear opponents down. Slow and steady.

It turns out the Lakers are not a typical 7-seed. Typically, the 7-seed is better.

I‘m wondering if LeBron is gonna bolt and this could be the end for the Davis-LeBron-Lakers when they lose in 4 or 5 games against the Nuggets for the second time.

Your opinion. I'm not defending him. But I'm also not in the business of throwing a player under the bus after a bad game. If it continues, then I guess you made your point.
