Philly is still only 5.25-1 to win the entire series. Those odds aren't very long. I was thinking about putting some $$ on them, but apparently I'm far from the only person that thinks Philly can still win this. If Embiid could just shoot 45% they could be up 2-1 in the series.

I think they're young and taking their lumps now. With the right roster moves and Simmons developing a somewhat credible jumper they'll be right there next year in the East.
Yeah, not a great look for the Raptors. After they lost the first game the way they did, it has been blowouts in 2 of 3, with the Cavs holding a huge lead in the 3rd. I said earlier that I didn't think the Cavs would make it past the Raptors, honestly hoping for something different, but they just got punked, and look mentally weak.
I would get rid of Derozan, and Casey. When the playoffs start, they both turn to ****.
I've heard Nick Nurse has gotten a lot of credit for their revamped offense. He might get a crack at the job if the Raps decide to part ways with Casey.
Love it.
“You know that thing where you roll the ball up the court to save time? I’m pretty good at that!”
I'm hoping Lebron to Houston. That is about the only shot we have at dethroning the Warriors. Durant's lazy title chasing *** has ruined the NBA and I'd like to see at least one time capable of giving them a challenge.
I hate that Durant went to GS, but LeBron going to Houston to hunt fouls with Harden won’t make things better.
Yeah, I don't know. I have a hard time believing that Lebron doesn't already know what he's doing or where he's going once he hits free agency. I guess the frontrunners are either LA franchise, Houston and maybe Cleveland (it'd be tough for him to leave if he somehow found a way to drag them to a title this year, so they make the list by default for now). But I bet there's a darkhorse team that nobody is thinking about right now that might come into play.
Ruined may be harsh, but no one can even give them a run over a 7 game series. With Steph back it wont even be close.
Casey fired yet? The way they went out last night he should have been fired on the spot after the game.
Donovan Mitchell is a very good basketball player on a fun to watch Jazz team. I thought after Hayward left that they’d be bad but they are playing with some heart this year.

Nick Collison is hanging 'em up. Solid, respectable career for the Iowa native.

Yeah, he hadn't played much the last few seasons. But he had a pretty solid reputation as a steadying veteran presence in the locker room and the media always liked him because he was typically a good quote.
