  1. All the shows about bionic men in the 80’s I thought we would’ve arrived at one-day knee replacements by now. Smh.
  2. Milton looks like a child with a fake beard.
  3. I was gonna mention Trae’s two steals had he not comminuted a couple poor turns. I really was.
  4. We just got too many shooters. Without Embiid and Curry in the game they can barely compete.
  5. Where OO at? We can’t give up offensive boards to this team man.
  6. Get to the line more, keep protecting the glass, and get a handle on these damn low-quality turnovers.
  7. It’s really crazy how similar they look. Both tall as hell too.
  8. Bogi has some sweet PNR connections with The Baptist.
  9. The Philly attendees gotta be the loudest crowd that also gets quiet as a mouse.
  10. Damn I was hoping Harris’ attempts would stay criminally low. Wrong.
  11. Can’t give up that last rebound follow. We good tho, should be down 20. If the game is close remember that help steal by Trae on Embiid. He even pressed Harris in the backcourt afterward lol. Simmons blocking Trae’s three so quickly is remarkable.
  12. Wow. 40 players drafted ahead of Jokic? Unbelievable. Congrats, he seems like a super decent dude.
  13. Nah never nervous. I surprised myself late last game I didn’t destroy anything in my home. This team is too balanced their play can sustain scoring droughts, they’re always in it. Unlike some Bucks I know geez.
  14. 6 point dogs my ass. My keys gonna stay the same: Dominate the free throw conversion and three point variance and I like our chances a whole lot. Winning the glass would be extra sweet tho. Les Geaux for my Creoles.
  15. NBA.com keeps secondary assists. In these playoffs Luka’s first (1.9), Trae second (1.5). Devin Booker (!) third at 1.3. Regular season Trae was 5th, Luka 17th (Dennis the Menace first).
  16. Let Basketball Reference tell it we have a 49% chance of getting to the Conference Finals. Based on how the season started I think I’ll take it. What a wild ride we're on.
  17. I don’t deal with Raptor, people use that when convenient also. Nothing against it though. I like simple ratings like the NBA Math TPA (total points added) and the 100 possession rating duo that give simple two-way pictures of a player. I find it very accurate and win shares usually align with it relative to their minutes and role. It just reminds me of science projects back in the day manipulating controls and variables lol. I hate the dude who did the radial plots last season didn’t do so this year. I check 82games at times to see their on/off based ratings. Kevin had the highest combo rating yesterday (152 to 117). Maxey, Dwight, Hill, and Green killed the Sixers offensively and I expect them to continue. Solo had the lowest offensive rating (of course), OO’s minutes in the playoffs have been ridiculously efficient. +13 per 100 yesterday, likely because he was facing the aforementioned Sixers.
  18. Calm down bro you on one. I rock with Luka and don’t care for that roster at all. Curry’s departure was a monumental blow. But I’ll take my eyes and his deeply negative 100 possession rating in the series over your assessment tho preciate it.
  19. Simmons played 23 more minutes than Maxey yet took fewer shots lol. His passivity is key.
  20. I never worry about Johnny Martin III. An elite screener and lob threat who shoots a career .418 from the corner three and who’s FT shooting has improved every year to .830 who’s a great teammate? Sign me up.
