So right now Phoenix look by far the best team in the west. Warriors aren't getting past the first round the way they've been playing. Draymond if he comes back will be a bandaid for some of it but they have big problems he can't fix automatically. None of the other teams are going to beat the Suns in a best of 7. East looks way tighter.

18 triple-doubles this season for our big man...who has been a better passing center in this league?

Phoenix can win the West if they have a healthy Paul throughout the playoffs...and that's a big if considering his history...however it helps them that pretty much every other team there is slumping or stagnant, looks like...

The East is stacked this season...Milwaukee, Brooklyn, Boston(!), Philly, Miami all in the mix for the conference title...

pops is now the winningest coach in history along with nelson

Watched the Nets today and Kyrie was amazing

KD had a dummy spit before telling the press that NBA fans have shitty lives & don’t like basketball

League will be praying for the Kyrie/KD/Simmons ? show to have a deep playoff run as it will get huge ratings

Only problem will be fans in the stands with pitchforks

If they focus too much on BS they getting swept out of the first round by Milwaukee

Bucks are favourites imo

People have forgotten how good Simmons is

Ben/Kyrie/KD + pieces is much better than last year Nets

Problem is that they are all nuts

IF (won’t happen) they get their **** together, nobody beats them

Shocking, your 2nd best player is out and the team slumps. Dray back Monday, Wiseman and Iggy apparently to come back sometime next week too , will finally be able to see us at full strength (FINALLY!!!!), and give us a decent 10-15 game run into the playoffs to warm up. Just need Wiggins to get out of his awful awful slump post All Star. Last 14 games he’s shot 40%, 9/26 on FT’s and hasn’t hit 20 points once….

Nets hammered the Sixers and no great surprise as Philly has massive holes in its roster

IF Nets are healthy & IF Simmons plays then teams need to avoid them like the plague as they are better balanced & deeper than last season

Lol, 'boo Ben Simmons night' went well then...

Went from booing Simmons to booing own team

that was an excellent game, another near triple-double by jokic!

Sixers admin tweet when they were up 19, lollipops. Swiftly deleted after the game

 

[Anil]

the role players have been huge for us...jokic alone couldn't have maintained this impressive mid-season revival...

 

[Anil]

huge game from irving tonight...

Nets must be one of the most watchable teams in history of sports right now

All that talent & all that craziness

Flat earther shaman who can only play 50% of games & is producing one of the hottest streaks in NBA history

World’s best player uses burner phones to fight with Twitter trolls

Most trending player on social media doesn’t even play

Crazy town

Watchable off the court maybe. That roster implies nonstop my turn your turn isos, which can get old

Watch the Sixers

Or don’t

Harden & Embiid are unwatchable

Iso foul baiting with zero defence and losing

Most unwatchable team that I have ever seen before now were Harden’s 3 chucking Rockets

This Sixers team is much worse

****ing embiid trying to steal mvp from jokic...
