    What a time to be alive? Good chance all series could be 2-2 after tonight. Boston has been the best team against Milwaukee. Philly will handle Miami. Dubs probably get through against Dalton once killed a man in Memphis. But Suns vs the pattern is full Mav is a toss up.

    Grizz were like 20-5 w/o Ja. So that could be a toin Kos as well.

    You think Philly beats Miami? I don’t. Miami wins the next game at home and will win game 7 if needed. Miami has guys that barely play that would start for Philly.
    Philly has the best player on the planet.

    Good player but he’s hurt. He’s not the best player on the planet either. He’s a center in today’s NBA.

    Giannis and Doncic are both more valuable and better. I would take Curry over Embiid as well.
    I was mostly trolling Uncle Race.

    Jokic is your reigning MVP btw.

    I have been thinking about who the "best player on the planet" is since now more than ever there seems to be a lot of variance. I still think Giannis is the best and a tier of his own, but its not by much. Luka, Joker, Embiid, Steph, Lebron, and KD are all right behind him and you can argue any order really. Next tier would be like Tatum, Kyrie, Booker, Healthy Kawhi and probably 3 or 4 more.

    My hot take is that there is not actually a current "best player" on the planet.

    Luka is probably the best player. His team is so bad that phoenix just beats the shit out of him knowing they cant score consistently.

    Ouch babe. Bucks win!!

    Still a series. Boston once went home with a 3-2 lead over the Heat and LeBron played a historic game.

    #MyBucks!!!!

    Jrue Holiday >>> Chris Paul

    That 4th quarter was championship team basketball

    This Eastern Conference Finals has been amazing. Still don’t know why the winner of this still needs to beat the winner of the 3rd/4th place in the East matchup. Seems silly.

    Champions campeon. Unbelievable close by the Bucks. And in the 2nd game, if Dillon Brooks didn’t try to be a closer on Monday The Grizz would be playing to clinch on Friday.

    Amazing how a team can be so much better without their superstar. Never seen anything like it before.

    The Warriors probably win the series but what a weak soft ass team.

    Cal Booker too low. Bonus points for banging a Jenner who is not gender confused.

    Worth it.

    Pretty sure she just tore down two cabins on Lake CDA and is in the process of building a mansion. Or it might be the other Jenner.

    They all look the same to me POTD.

    Philly has to be kicking themselves for getting rid of Jimmy Butler and keeping Ben Fucking Simmons.

    Didn't Simmons dip his stick into a Kardashian/Jenner at one point, too?

    Nobody front runs at home quite like Luka. He's annoying as fuck. Might be worse than watching Divac cry about every call.

    I think Luka is legit

    I also think the Suns win by 25 Sunday

    Most likely outcome. Luka is still a diet Lebron on offense and will be contending for titles soon.

    Luka is legit. Just annoying as shit and if he pops an ACL there won't be many folks feeling bad for the guy.

    Bucks were fucking shit tonight.

    Their offense isn't dynasty level. But they should still win close in Boston.

    Heat will win the next round too. It’s a deep team. The best bench of any playoff team in the East by far. Butler and Adebayo are both all stars. He’s probably the hardest defender for Giannis to dominate in the entire league.

    Spolstra is one of the best coaches in the league. You are thinking the Heat go down easily next round. They won 53 games and Butler and Adebayo both missed 25 games. This isn’t a fluke. They are good.

    Giannis was great. Unfortunately his team didn’t show up.

    at least the lakers can hire him now, good to throw a fuckton of gas (yes the lakers have the $$ to do that even in this economy) on that dumpster fire.
