    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.
