Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

So assuming all 4 teams clinch monday and tuesday, are we talking the conference finals starting saturday and sunday?

Saturday 8.30 cavs at celtics - ABC
Sunday 9.00 warriors st rockets - TNT

I feel like even with that being said Embiid has done enough. Philly would be up 2-1 if it wasnt for Simmons.

That’s the whole problem, offense was averaging 120 until Embiid came back. He kilt the pace.

Y'all think LeBron beating Boston in 4 or 5?

@tremonthustler1 looking like Utah can’t get better with Favirs and Gobert on the floor together to get to the next tier of competition. They both clog up the lane on the floor together from Mitchell. The jazz prolly need a stretch 4. I hear that Jabari Parker isn’t feeling good about FA . Do you think the Jazz are in play to give him the money he want. I think he would be a good fit for them over favors. They lose some toughness but definitely pick up more skill and talent with Parker.

Thing is they don’t have the ability to grossly overpay him and anything less than a gross overpay would just get matched.

I think they need to focus on getting another ball handler that can reliably shoot and defend. Exum and Rubio are okay fits on the floor with Mitchell, but not particularly good fits. Plus they both are injury prone and have had season ending injuries

Both of those guys are free agents. I don’t think they will ring Exum back. Also they already have a guy like you are describing in Alec Burks but they don’t play him but whenever he gotten minutes he has been production for himself and the team. I don’t think it’s no coincidence that the one game he got long consistent minutes in is the game they won(in game 2). He was the best player that night despite ingles shooting. I’m glad they haven’t used him since because he was becoming a problem we need to solve but they solved it for us by not playing him.


Imagine if Utah gave up that first for Mirotic and locked him up long term. They dropped the ball there.

They have Rubio Exum and Favors coming off the books. What do you view as overpayment for Parker? A reporter asked him about rumor of a 17 million per year extension during the postseason and he said he wished.

so we are in for another Cavs-Warriors finals huh?

Rubio has another year and Exum is an RFA.

I don’t think they can blow away Parker, keep Exum, and add bench depth.
