scary good performance by Harden yet again - I just see this as the last year of the Warriors dominance and nobody can stop them as Durant, Klay (yep I think he's gone too), and Cousins split

how about trae young hitting a game winner vs. my sixers.
happy to be wrong about this kid - I thought he'd be a bust - yes he's had ups and downs - just like is expected from every rook - he was under a fire store of criticism the first 1/3 of the season - am hoping the Hawks can build around him.
anybody see how Kyrie threw Stephens under the bus after their loss to the Hornets? apparently they weren't double Kemba

WTF. I lost my over prediction just because of them. I had O220 and fell short by 3 points because 76ers decided no to score at all in the 2nd half. My awesome streak got snapped because of them.

brown reportedly on the hot seat - i.e. it's succeed in the playoffs or this is it.
harris came out and said an early exit would be problematic.
after beating the bucks and celts - they've dropped games to the Hawks and Magic and the chirping continues....
ECF for Brown or it's time to look in another direction and I agree.......

winding down
#6 thru #10 in the East is tight beyond belief right now
only 2 1/2 games separating
nets pistons heat magic hornets
looking like the sixers will dodge the celts in round #1 - hoping somebody takes care of them early
philly / Brooklyn would be fun as we're relatively close region wise

aj,
having a hard time directly 'quoting'/'replying' - saw a quote today where Rivers stated if your Rockets just kept up playing good 'D' - there's no reason they couldn't win it all.
think you're a threat to the Warriors now?

Last time we were able to limit warriors to 14 points in key quarters of games 4 and 5 of WC finals. Only after CP3 got injured we lost our momentum. We are no.2 in defensive rating since all-star break and that is the first time since we have had a healthy team. We definitely stand a good chance against Warriors. I say we have a good 40% chance against them. What's your thought on sixers? They have the second best starting unit in the league.

still worried about the bench stepping up
rumors swirling Butler is as good as gone this offseason - but I think that's dependent on how clutch he is in the playoffs and if he wants that max - and there's no way i'd give him that. he's a 'good player' now at this this stage of his career. i'd definitely re-sign him to a big contract - but not for the max and if you are re-signing him you make sure you have money left over to take care of the bench if the plan is to re-sign Harris too.
with all the free agents out there this summer and if the Sixers feel they can add another big fish and let Butler walk i'd consider it if they can land another big fish.
they bounced back with a win against the Nets (potentially first round matchup) - but dropped two games to the Hawks and Magic - this after beating the Celts and Bucks. like you - I just want the playoffs to get here and maybe they just go into crush mode.
I do love their starting 5. and in the playoffs you shorten your bench quite a bit. i.e. you may be rolling with only 2-3 bench players tops if you have confidence in (i.e. starters are playing long minutes) your rotations - but this is where it's on Brown to make smart rotations depending on matchups and who needs rest
going to be intriguing - i.e. what happens to Brown and Butler once the season is over.

I will be honest. 1. Sixers have a great chance of winning a championship or two in the next 4 years. 2. I agree do not max Butler. Find someone else. 3. Get rid of the coach. He was good in the bad years. But he isn't material for the good years.

Lebron shut down for the year
this after Ball and Hart (kuzma too or am I off?)
we get it magic - you're in tank mode now and trying to protect the future
I hope kawhii and another top tier F.A. signs with the Clippers and they pissbeat the Lakers at Staples for the next decade as LeBron retires with no more titles (i'm not a LeBron hater - but it's poetic justice)

It is becoming increasingly more likely that they will face GSW in thee first round itself. And they were on track to finish no.2 or 3 before all-star break.

kristaps accused of rape and trying to pay money to cover it up in New York. wtf Just read. He reportedly called black woman ‘my slave’ as he beat and raped her. Don't know what's the truth though. I hope he is not that sort of a person.
"A source close to the investigation told the Post that police find the accuser ‘believable’ despite the fact that she waited more than a year to report the alleged rape."

apparently LeBron's Lakers teammates have called him out on his 'body language' - i.e. his facial expressions, demeanor during the season.
have you ever worked with that person? i.e. somebody who is over the top sarcastic and condescending and nothing will ever please them - i.e. just a bundle of negativity and rain/clouds?
I've always compared LeBron personality wise to Donovan McNabb (notice I said personality) - it's why McNabb was never loved here (although I regard him as the greatest QB in Philly History) - passive aggressive fake personality me first baby.
