Boston bench especially the coaches reaction to Embiid step back at 2:49 mark onward. Young man truly the goat and it was sad to see him say when he got hurt last time that he was like why God is it always happened to me. Injuries could truly ruin his greatness.

i may be the only one but I’d like to see a resurgence of the dominant big men that teams build around and to me that’s Joel...He’s so dominant and plays on both ends of the court.

John Hollinger brought up that point as well. He brought up teams like Dallas or Miami giving him the bag.

Before the season started, I thought there was no way he was opting out of that last year and giving up $44 million. Now seeing his level of play and what Hayward got, he should definitely consider opting out. Especially since there will be teams with cap space, but no one to spend it on. James Jones and Robert Sarver should pay whatever it takes to keep him. Even then, that may not be enough if CP3 wants to go to a contender like Miami.

The more I think about the Suns future at point guard, the more I'm pissed they didn't draft Haliburton. CP3 would have been the perfect mentor and the transition to the next Suns guard would have been smooth.

Jazz were a missed Conley 3 from beating Denver in a best of 7 last playoffs.

Denver ain't beating Utah in anything less than 7 this year. Phoenix probably getting slept on as well
That series doesn't see 7 games if Grant starts over MPJ from the getgo. Jazz are a solid squad but do you trust any one on that team to be Spida's number two night in and night out in the offs? The Jazz are essentially the same team they were last year except Mitchell continuing to improve and a healthy Bogdanovic in their lineup. Their culture and roster consistency made the lack of training camps lightwork for them, which allowed them to start strong and stay strong. Their ceiling is determined by Gobert which is what fukks them. He can't handle elite big men and he can be countered by going small. The Jazz only go as far as Don can carry them

Who guards big wings too? O Neale is the best perimeter defender and he is 6 4
