6ers only give Fultz five minutes, winning streak comes to an end.

I bet he gets 15 minutes in game 3.
So you’re going to sit Simmons for 15 minutes?
I know he’s primarily Simmons back up, but you could play them together with Redick/Belineli/Covington, Saric/Ilyasova/Covington, and Embiid.

They have shooters on the roster. Fultz has played too well to only get 5 minutes. McConnell is still getting time. They gotta make some decisions. They are still winning this series.

That's the script. Win one at Miami to come back 2-2 then win in 6 or 7

I don’t think it would work. Maybe once with the surprise factor but if team prepare for it there just won’t be enough spacing. It would be one thing if they were poor shooters but two guys that want the ball on the perimeter that won’t shoot? I can’t see it.

You'd have to plan on really pushing the tempo almost the entire time. But for three minutes in the first half and two in the second half, I think you could pull it off.

Raptors with 76 points in the first half. I'll never understand how defense has disappeared from the game.

#MyWizards' role players fucking suck. The bigs are shit. Wall is only good when he attacks the rim. Porter's not agressive. We can't shoot. Someone plz knock off Oubre. We have no athleticism. Fuck that.

It hasn’t disappeared. Guys are way better defensively now than they ever been. But 3 point shooting and spacing makes it really hard to defend.

Haie, I think your blazers are looking ahead to that house money rockets matchup in the conference finals.

#MyKawhi and Lebron on the Lakers next year is going to be fucking rad.

Telling quote from LeBron James on Wednesday looking back at the season and looking smack in the face of the 0-1 deficit the Cavs are in against Indiana: "I think we spent so much time trying to figure out who we were in the regular season and getting the right lineups and guys in and out and things of that nature, we could never build for the playoffs. It was kind of like, build for the next game. So the postseason finally hit us and it hit us very well. And I think that can be the best teacher for us to know exactly what we should be ready for tonight."
