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.

building around Maxey is a losing strategy, I say trade him in the off season while the value is at an all time high

The Lakers might actually have some reason to be upset because for the first time in decades, they're no longer the team getting the most help from the refs with the new physicality rules pretty much being tailor-made for a Thibs team.

There is a -.5 line in the Bucks game tonight. I admittedly don’t bet and don’t watch the lines but I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in a nba game?

Siakam attacking the Bucks bigs at will. I give McNair credit for going after him.....would have been a difference maker for the Kings

But according to a lot of people on this board, he would have been a bad fit. Siakam has been amazing for the Pacers. And crazy how much better his 3pt % has been when he’s one of multiple threats.

leave it to the Heat to take a W in Boston without Jimmy, these two teams seem to meet every single postseason for the past 5 years and more often than not, it's good and goes to 6 or 7

Jovic also probably having his best game as an NBA pro despite all the turnovers tonight too.

He had a game earlier in the year where he put on 23points and slaughtered Giannis and the Bucks (Miami missing Jimmy as well), I knew Jovic had a high floor as a player but I really think I underrated his ceiling. For basically being a rookie (technically 2nd year but didn't play in year 1) he's had two excellent playoff games his mind is strong/clear which is a great sign with the 6'10 skills.
