Al!

What a 4th quarter by Boston. Saved their season.

Get outta here and hope Robert Williams can be back for game 5.

Isn't Al Horford like 40 years old? He's been awesome.

I swear he was in the original NBA Jam on Super NES

Stevens knew what Horford could bring and that’s why he got him back.

Why in the world would Wiggins take that shot?

Curry calmly steps to the line and slowly pushes an ice pick in Memphis’ eye

Grizz are done.

Celts are not done.

Teams ranked that I want to see win:

1. Celts. Favorite NBA team.
2. Warriors. Wiggs. Kerr. Steph. Get the dynasty talk fired back up.
3. Suns. CP3.
4. 6ers. Embiid. If not for Harden, they’d be third.
5. Bucks. Just a good squad. Giannis easy to like. Grayson Allen almost drops them to 6 though.
6. Grizz. Underdogs ( I know where they are seeded, still dogs ). Ja quickly becoming a fave.
7. Heat. I think Spolestra is underrated.
8. Dallas. Like Luka enough, just meh for me.

I'd probably go

1. 76ers
2. Warriors
3. Heat
4. Boston
5. Bucks
6. Suns
7. Dallas
8. Grizz

I am not sure why, but I don't really like the Grizz or Ja. I think Ja is awesome, I enjoy watching him, but I don't particularly "like" him enough to cheer for him. Not sure why though.

Question-What is the likelihood of getting a bone bruise from someone grabbing and pulling on your knee. I am not an expert at all, just have a hard time wrapping my head around a grab and pull (if that is what it was) resulting in a bone bruise, as is now reported based on an MRI of Ja's knee. I can certainly see structural damage, such as ligament damage as a result.

0%

Poole hardly touched him. I have no idea what Memphis is bitching about.

It was an earlier play.
He was playing through it.

Pathetic effort by Embiid tonight so far. Barely attempting to assert himself.

Yes, in the first half he seemingly wasn't his usual self.
Then he got hit in the face.
The fact he came back out there in the 2nd half is worthy of a lot of praise.

P.S. How much longer am I supposed to TTP?

The two losers lost by a combined 65 points last night. Inexcusable. Well, other than they are coached by Doc Rivers and Jason Kidd.
Two of the most overrated coaches in the history of the league. Not that the head coaches matter all that much in the NBA but if they get praise for winning, they sure deserve ridicule for getting blown out in extremely important playoff games.

Honestly, I thought the entire Sixers team was pretty lethargic and would categorize their entire effort as pathetic. It looked like it was a meaningless game to them.

Absolutely. But when your MVP candidate is floating around being super passive it doesn't matter what the others do.

Hopefully it was just 1 game, but I think the Heat close it out in Philly.

They lost by 35. It kinda mattered what everyone did.

The other players kept them in it for the first half.

Embiid got tons (all) of the credit when they won games 3 and 4. So he gets the much blame when he plays like that and they get blown out. Even though he's playing through injuries. That's just how the cookie crumbles when you're an MVP candidate. Doesn't matter what Danny Green did.
