Simmons and Embiid take over 3rd qtr as the team takes a 2-1 game lead.
* Attended the 1990 and 2010 Reds Division clinchers *
Go 76ers, Go Steelers and Go Bucks
So that was Durant's personal bodyguard that ran on the court to protect him from Tucker! I get he is employed by the Nets, but how is that legal? Private security stepping on the court and making contact with the other teams player? I feel like this should be a bigger topic of discussion.....and I also think it is more evidence that Durant is one of the softest players in the NBA.

Suns are evidence that it almost always takes a good team to be healthy and have good fortune to advance deep into the playoffs. The Suns have been one of the most healthy teams all season, and played a very unhealthy Lakers team in the first Round, and now are playing a Nuggets team without their starting backcourt (Murray out and Barton is not near 100%). Do the Suns get past a healthy Lakers or Nuggets team.....my money would be on no.
I am not taking a shot at the Suns, it was just last year that my Lakers had very similar circumstances that propelled them to win a championship.

With no Harden and no Irving, the Nets have no chance. The cavalry needs to get there in a hurry.
Big Baby Davis with some quality petty, pointing out the ankle Kyrie Irving just injured is the same foot he used to stomp on the Celtics mascot insignia during their series.

Bucks have historically been a soft team but Tucker really changes that dynamic. Have to win one on the road though.
Congratulations to Jae Crowder for back to back conference finals. Ring out Ahoya!

Jokic got all ball! No respect! Needs to switch teams and partner with doncic, dragic and bjelica for Serbian alliance. Then get a Russian owner to bankroll them and then they might have a chance,

Devin Booker nearly did not make it to the next round.
Got to figure when Daryl Morey's watching Joel Embiid run roughshod over Clint Capela, he's thinking "and that's why I traded that guy."
If I'm the Hawks I start fouling Ben Simmons every time he touches the ball. Otherwise Philly's going to keep chomping on them.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Worst quarter I've seen Embiid play during the entire playoffs. Stop taking 3's, get back in the paint and cause some trouble.
