I cannot believe the Lakers are hiring Lue..... and I thought we were poorly run. Lakers take the damn cake.
 
How is Philly not an absolute powerhouse? Does Simmons lack of shooting debilitate their offense that much?

I haven't gotten a chance to watch them play this year. I'm legitimately asking, what's the issue? Because on paper, I don't see how they're not coming out of the east. That lineup is stupid.

Basketball isn't played on paper. Matchups, chemistry, coaching, playoffs vs regular season, etc.

Ben Simmons is a playoff liability. Boston ran his ass off the court for the same reason he was weak today - he can't shoot outside 10 feet. Philly is awful against quick skilled scoring guards - Sexton torched them badly and we damn near beat them twice in Philly (did give them first loss at home).

I think the Sixers won't win shit with Bogus Ben. No guard in the NBA has a worse outside shot - by outside I mean over 10 feet.

Dude has NEVER hit a 3. I think he has only attempted like 17 in his career.

They like hiring former Cavs coaches... Mike Brown, Byron Scott and now Lue...

Very telling that three "new" contenders that traded for stars and had excellent records this regular season -- Toronto, Philadelphia, and Denver -- all lost their first games at home, while the Warriors just methodically blew out the Clippers in a game that was never close.

Still waiting on Milwaukee, but I suspect that regular season records tell you very little and Golden State is going to take it all easily this year, with a speed bump when they face Houston.
 
Isnt it nice watching this Warriors bullshit and it not really mattering? Yes, i hope they lose, but it doesnt effect my life at all like it did the last 4 years. For me it was absolute torture watching them and waiting to play them. Impending doom feeling, especially when they got coward.

The Bucks-Warriors or the Raptors-Warriors finals should be good. I think both Milwaukee and Toronto have a legit shot at an upset.

If KD doesn't come back 100%, GS might not even be favored.

Golden state wins the finals with or without KD. Spoiler alert. It’s just way to easy for them and they know what’s on the line. Even without KD. Kyle Lowry has to consistently play great for the raptors to have a chance (that won’t happen). The bucks beat the raptors because raptors went ice cold plus Lopez dropped his career playoff high. Kerr is probably already ordering championship hookers to his yacht.
