Wow. Don't look now but the Sixers have won 7 of 9 and Embiid is beasting. Simmons coming back soon....could be the start of something special.

Lol, Green was warned ALL SEASON including the the playoffs about his actions. A rule was set into place years before Green even played about getting suspended after 4 T's in the playoffs. Hell he should've possibly been suspended the series before and he still pushed his luck.

Blaming everybody else and talking conspiracy's about Green being a straight hot head is nothing but a cop-out. He suspended himself and had every chance to not get T'd up.

A lot of Warrior fans are also Hillary fans...so can't really be surprised

TBPH...it's just how the environment is. With social media and watchin' dummies like Skip Bayless and Stephen Smith everyday on ESPN...at some point you'll start saying dumb things too. Ppl forget...calling it fixed undermines the achievements of their own team.

So, someone that doesn't agree with your narrative is saying dumb things. Must be nice to always be right ;) And I don't like Hillary, but it sounds like you were for Trump? Now that is embarrassing, seriously.

super important update: magic still blow. top prospects, top coaching hires...nope. doesn't matter. just terrible forever.

If he continues to stay healthy, and Simmons looks like the real deal, all they need to do is add some athletic guys who can defend and shoot 3s and you got yourself a good playoff team.

You are better than this. Not one of your better posts.

Does ESPN debate who won the Wrestlemania?

The fact that those two idiots say NBA is fixed - and then debate every playoffs matchup makes no sense. If it's fixed - why are you analyzing the matchup?

So, they don't really believe it but say it to get ratings. Some ppl lick it up.

I'm not always right. I said it many times - I didn't think Cavs were gonna beat Warriors in 7 game series. But, I'm glad I was wrong. But, I don't say things I don't really mean.

...and Hillary comment was a joke. And, a lot of ppl didn't support either candidate.

Hilary comment was a joke. That's what was for.

Cmon guys - don't be so sensitive.

And, as I said - every fan base is becoming like that. When they lose - they scream conspiracy. This has become the norm with social media.

The starting point guards for the NBA All Star game should both be coming off the bench. Why can they never get this right?

(Huge Curry fan, but can admit he shouldnt be starting.)

A guy who's averaging a f**king triple double didn't get named a starter. What the f**k?

It's a popularity contest. Not something based on on-court accomplishments. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

Because I thought they reduced the fans' impact on the voting process.

Fan vote counts for 50% of the vote. Current players 25% and media 25%. They all still vote with their own opinions and preferences. Not the absolute most deserving. Curry, Harden, and Westbrook all deserve to start. Somebody was gonna be left out. And no matter who got the nod, it was still a popularity contest.
