too bad Jimmy got hurt, otherwise that Boston Miami series would of been intense as the others have. Cavs and Magic has the most appeal to me, Cavs have more Playoff tested players though so they will win the series but its a great learning experience for Magics youth

I think the Magic and Pacers can pull off upsets.
TBH due to some rude random tweet that I woke up to this morning from a random Magic fan pulling a year old tweet from last year who just decided to dogpile on kings fans I guess, I hope they get swept.

Is home white making a comeback?

All three playoff games so far the home team has worn white uniforms. Even the Kings wore white for the home play in game…which is rare.

I think the Knicks are the only team that decided to stick with home white regularly over the last few years since Nike wanted to change things

Dame comes out of the gates on absolute fire and the Bucks decide to not give him the damn ball for like tgen straight possessions.

The Magic really might be the worst shooting team I’ve ever seen in a modern playoff series. None of their threes have been close in the first minute.

So Morey was supposedly setting the Sixers up to be big spenders this off-season to finally get Embiid and Maxey their third star (aside from all those other times they had found their big piece) but seeing how rough Embiid looks physically at this point, I wonder if he might not be better served just tearing down the franchise again and initiating another Process build.

Don't come out of the FA period with that star and it will begin whether they like it or not, haha.

But what star is going to want to play with a guy who‘s moving like Raptors Hakeem Olajuwon?

Sixers still don’t have control of a lot of their picks thanks to various Harden trades and the likes but moving off of Joel before his knees totally implode and locking in Maxey to build around is probably a better start than the last time they tried this.

They could end up with a Maxey - Monk starting lineup
