We need some post scoring coming off of the bench. We need someone who can get us baskets in the paint. I know that this sounds crazy but we need someone like Jahlil Okafor. He is far from perfect but he has that old school offensive post/paint game that would come in handy when our shots aren't falling. 

John Collins is not a max player. He is just one of the guys and should be paid as such. He has done nothing in these playoff to prove that he is a max player. He is not a bum at all. It's a good thing that we got a solid team before his contract was up because I would have agreed that he was a max player 15 months ago. Game 5 just proves it.

Collins: 4 points 7 rebounds 1 block in 30 minutes. However, Hawk high +26 bmp. He played a hell of a game. This presence was felt all night. 
 

You don’t have to put up stats to impact a game. Nice JC, keep it up!

You don't give energy guys max contracts.  If that was Solo's stat line I would celebrate with you. 

get those guys out of there Nate!!

Good Time out Nate!!!

Don't forget that we were beating them before Giannis got hurt. If we win this we need to get out proper credit. 

Finals here we come!!

Okongwu got that good footwork that is needed to guard Giannis, it's all about that footwork.

Do you think that we will see Cam tonight?

Is he ready for some minutes this series?

I think that Nate may not want to coach anymore. Sometimes people just don't want the hassle associated with the job. I think that he would have accepted the job by now if he wasn't considering walking away. Who would you all like to see keep this thing going if Nate walks away. 

I forgot to post this but I read on a King's forum (a few months back)  that one of the reasons it wasn't a slam dunk bringing him back was the fact the he also plays euro ball. Kings management was concerned that he was playing basketball year round and often started the nba season with nagging injuries that impacted his performance.  They were concerned with his durability.  He told management that he wasn't going to stop playing ball in europe.  Maybe playing this late into the summer will change his perspective but this is his 2nd injury this season. Just something to consider.  Do you think that this was discussed with him?

They have to learn that Giannis is like the X-men villain Juggernaut--you can't let him build momentum because when he does you can't stop him.  Stay in front of him and stay close to him. 

Bringing John back isn't the issue. Bringing John back on a max contract is the issue. We can't shoot ourselves in the foot overpaying guys. Love dude but he isn't a max player. 

Is it me or does it seem like the guys calling the game are pro-76ers? Seems like they get upset when things go our way.

Kevin is earning him some money tonight!! Someone is going to pay that kid!! Hope that it's us!!

 We got a chance just like everyone else although I feel that the Bucks would be our toughest challenge.  This thing is wide open and I like it. I am glad the Lebron is out because he always manages to get to the finals. This has been some of the most entertaining basketball I have seen in a while. I think that teams are going to be more cautious about the "bums/scrubs" that they stick on these super teams after they have given all of their money to 2-3 super friends. Never know when you are going to need one of the "others" to step it up. Hats off to the Maxeys and the Mann's of the league.

Simmons touched it. Now hopefully we won't do anything stupid!!
