I am wondering if someone can answer this for me as seemingly only some folks know the NBA the best. Is it "time" for the Sixers "to be good"?

Also, outside of Wade nobody on Miami has experience winning so the point is moot regardless.

Avatar wager on the rest of the series?


"Talent" has to be broken down. I believe experience trumps "young/inexperienced talent."

What's the bet? I can see this going to 6 or 7 games. You?

I'll keep the bet simple. If Miami wins another game you pick my avatar until the end of the NBA finals. If Miami does not win another game, I pick your avatar for the same amount of time. Embiid's status has no bearing on the bet.

There ya go. Resize that and try that one on til June

Indiana is playing this game from the free throw down. They are attacking the rim and not settling for needless 3's. Cleveland has no rim protectors.

I haven't seen a team make a concerted effort to go inside like this in a long time. Its evident that this is part of Indiana's game plan.

This is some old school NBA shit. Wonder if its going to work.

Lebron the GM didn't want any and i think it is going to hurt them in this year's playoffs.

LeBron’s been the GM of the Cavs for forever and I know there’s this narrative that LeBron wanted all these new guys. But I thought this was the sole workings Koby Altman protecting himself and the roster in case LeBron leaves. He figured he could get some young talent like Nance and Hood for his old aging veterans.

Lebron didn't want to play with the other guys.

Damn He booked that motherfucker. Oladipo should have rolled that with his left hand. This has turned into a helluva series.

If Oladipo's shot hit the glass first then its a goaltend. TNT really didn't want to show the replay either.

Criticizing LBJ the GM continues (three years, three finals appearances, one ring) to be the worst sports thought in the history of thinking about sports.

Golden State.

PG13 would have a better shot at making the Finals if he went back to Indy rather than staying in OKC.
