I'd say so but I have faith in Harden to fuck it up.

I am not sold on Embiid and harden being a good fit. Going to need to see that a few times before they are the favorites

Always been a big fan. He could play the 1, 2, or 3. Crafty player, can keep the defense honest with his ability to score 2 point buckets, something Lonzo cannot do yet.

Gonna be like D-Lo and KAT out in Minny
constant hi screen and rolls, then one of them will jack up a 3

I’m sure 2 or 3 of the top 5 teams in the East will be down stars or big pieces in the playoffs.

I'm not.

Tobias Harris can now be the 3rd option he was always destined to be. And Maxey has been a solid contributor all season. They have about a 2 year window to win in but the back end of Harden's contract is going to be hell to pay.

LTG - so who’s the favorites now for the finals out of each conference?

The Sonics and Bobcats

Phoenix and Philly. Book it!. Provided both are healthy come playoff time. So much of this stuff comes down to who is healthy enough to play. If both are healthy, then they would be my 2 favorites.

how do they even think of goofy what if scenarios like this? seems so random

Wilbon said he would've traded Patrick Williams for Daniel Theis

You can tell he struggles with names when talking NBA. Waddle and Silvy should just give the segment up.

Wilbon is on the NBA pregame show, how can he struggle with NBA names? More likely that he just thinks Silvy is an idiot.

One thing's for sure. The Bulls as currently constructed have no shot head to head against the Sixers. It's the worst matchup possible.

Has embiid been injured yet or is he on borrowed time heading down the stretch?

OK. You got me there.

Just bc of Embiid ?

Who cares let him go for for 60, shut everyone else down

Harden ain't doing shit

i thought you'd like that one

I have faith Harden will take the collar against somebody, but it won't be the Bulls. It'll be the Suns, Bucks, or Heat. Bulls have no rim protectors.

Super pissed off the Bucks traded DiVicenzo.

He grew up with the core of that group.

Having both him and Connaghton was great, they didnt have both in the playoffs last year.

HUGE loss, mark my words.

They only got Ibaka cuz apparently Brook Lopez is still hurt or some shit. Which by the way they need him for the playoffs. Losing PJ Brown in the offseason was a HUGE loss as well.

And just like that, what happens?

Connaughton HIMSELF is inured and will have surgery.

Should be back before the playoffs, but this will hurt their seeding.

Making the Divicenzo trade look even MORE terrible.

I am the Steve Stone of these boards.
