    I've been saying it for 3 years, we need to f---ing get rid of Whiteside. He is a disgrace, and I've never seen someone more unmotivated in a f---ing playoff game in my life. What a disaster. This gonna be a sweep if Embiid stays out.

    He'll be fine. When they go under his pick and rolls he just steamrolls to the basket. You can probably scheme for him a little better during a series, but with his passing ability I don't think his numbers will dip much at all, if any.

    Philly might go to the Finals if Embiid is back for the 2nd round.

    IDK about all of this man. I like Sixers, but Celtics are so f---ing loaded, it's ridiculous. I can't even imagine how good they're gonna be next year with Hayward AND Kyrie coming back. Not that the Sixers aren't loaded either, but the Celtics have insane young talent AND arguably a top 2 coach in the NBA who maximizes his talent to the utmost potential. I did tell @Soldier a couple years ago that the Sixers and Celtics would be the big rivals in the NBA soon, and I think next year, it'll start.

    As far as Pats? Yeah, end is coming near, but I don't think Belichick is going anywhere (like most believe he is). Belichick is literally obsessed with football, I don't think he could ever fully give it up. I think Pats will still be around for the next 5 years, but probably not as dominant as they were with Brady. I think we have 2 years for true Super Bowl runs.

    I love what Philly is doing, but I wouldn't get too ahead of yourselves either. Much like the Rams with Goff, you guys are going to be dealing with Wentz wanting more money after his rookie contract is up. That is the true test of a franchise, and why a lot of NFL franchises only have a good 3-4 year window to make something happen. It's easy when your starting franchise QB is making 2-4 million a year. However, when they're taking up 15-20 million in cap space, it's a whole different ball game to continue success for a decade. I think the Rams and Eagles will have a good little rivalry, probably contend for a couple titles, but I don't see them lasting a decade or more like the Patriots have.

    I said the same thing about Denver, Seattle, 49ers, and other teams who were successful the last few years. I don't want to sound like I'm riding my team, but the Patriots are so unique in the modern NFL, because of how well they draft (in late rounds) and they gameplan for every opponent. It's gonna be hard for ANY franchise to matchup to their success.

    IDK much bout hockey, so I'm not gonna argue anything there lol.

    Raps are just as fraud as they’ve been for the past 3-4 years, and with the injuries in Boston...

    It’s a Cavs lock in the finals. Still hoping the Heat get Boston

    Kinda hope the Wolves make the playoffs because they havent been in for so long and for Towns. I remember they were the talk of the next young upcoming team, then Embiid came along.

    However, Wiggins is not that great of a player and they will regret that contract. Cant defend and he's an inefficient iso player.

    It’s more than that, no excuse to lose to f---in Memphis at home when you’re fighting for a playoff spot. Their defense is also horrible even with Thibs, a ‘defensive coach.’

    Wiggins likely isn’t happy, KAT is struggling. They flat out s---, it’s not just Jimmy but yeah he was their closer..

    Tragic to hear about Upshaw, RIP. Not what you want to here at all.


    I got so emotional when Fultz hit that 2nd jumper, nailed it. :cry2: This kid isnt gonna be a bust yet.

    I think the Celtics should beat the Cavs in a playoff series assuming Kyrie is playing by then, but not sure they actually will..Never know what Bron will do. Raptors are another story, I still don't really trust em..but depends on which Cavs team you'd get, Raptors certainly could if they're rolling and the Cavs are playing like they have most of the past couple months.

    Also Lonzo is far from a bust, I've actually watched him throughout the whole year and the most disappointing part was how long he was out with a seemingly fairly minor injury, I'm a little concerned about his durability and toughness..But still he's a 20 year old rookie averaging 10, 7 and 7 also with almost 2 steals and a block per game. Defense is already pretty good, the team plays better when he's out there too.

    They had a 9 game losing streak without him. If it wasn't for that, Lakers could be in the playoff race still. Hopefully his shooting improves, he's had stretches this year it was good but overall yeah it's been disappointing, he also needs to be a little more aggressive at times..but he's a rookie, he's just watched more closely cuz all the hype. He'll be fine and already has shown glimpses of being a great player, potentially a great leader too. His passing is obviously on another level too.

    I don't really post on here as much anymore but been a fun year for the Lakers, got a lot of hope for next year regardless of how the offseason goes..Gotta keep Randle at the very least.

    Just glad the days with this sort of starting lineup are over with.
