Lebron hit three clutch shots in a row, amazing when you consider he was the ultimate playoff clutch shot choker early in his career.

Wonder who wins in the east- as impressive as the Heat look, even during the season they had spells where they strangely slumped, think Boston still have a shot.

Grant was ballin to ensure he gets his big contract for next season. Teams in the west like the Mavs, clippers(if Morris walks or they decide they want grant) and blazers can be hot for him

Yep, he pulled a Jared Jeffries!

The Philadelphia 76ers ownership group reportedly wants to hire Mike D'Antoni as the franchise's next head coach, sources told Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Sources add that it's difficult to tell who is in charge of the hire, with the ownership group becoming involved with the process earlier than expected.

D'Antoni has met with Sixers' ownership for a first round of interviews, and would reportedly have to bomb his second round to not be offered the job.

Playing-wise, Joel Embiid is said to be happy with the potential hire as he would be facing the basket more than posting up in D'Antoni's system.

D'Antoni would also move Tobias Harris back to power forward.

The Sixers would be willing to make trades to meet the demands of D'Antoni's system.

I thought they’d go for Ty Lue. Wonder what roster moves they’ll make

Sounds like BS- imagine having nothing better to do than arrest someone for possession of weed. What the heck is concealing stolen property?

Disaster waiting to happen if they hire d antoni. Simmons isnt a shooter at all, embiid wants to play in the post and is the opposite of what Mike wants to do. They have Horsford who is dead weight and now teams will know they will trade him ASAP, thus lowering his value once again

I'm assuming either Ben or Joel are getting traded for a more dynamic perimeter threat if Philly decides to get on the merry go round.

Hell hath no fury like James Dolan scorned.

The controversial Knicks boss is pouring cash into the effort to help GOP Congressional candidate Nicole Malliotakis beat incumbent Democratic Staten Island Rep. Max Rose — all because Rose recently trash-talked his ownership of the perennially losing New York Knicks

.

Dolan contributed the max amount he could which was $2K + change. "Poured"???

Everyone has a right to do this. BFD

This is nothing less than character assassination and has nothing to do with the Knicks.

I honestly forgot Kemba Walker was playing every game of the heat series- very low key/invisible for a max guy, not sure if it was playoff jitters or there is some sort of series knee issue he’s been going through?

Anyways, good series- now its eat vs Lakers, looking forward to seeing Jimmy vs Lebron

Heat will be the most complete team, the lakers will face this season. Heat has so much semblance to the 14 spurs in where they don't have any dominating players, but have 7 solid players that can just go off at anytime. I still see the lakers heavily favored this series as lebrronhas already notched up his game to playoff Lebron, AD is playing well, Dwight and rondo are locked in on their roles. If KCP, Green and kuzma do work, I see them winning in 5 or 6.

they're an enigma right now. between hayward and Kemba neither was a great ROI. there's no obvious fix at the moment.

Isn't Kemba another guy we were supposed to sign to a max?

Anyway, I'm pulling for the Heat despite my fandom going back to JVG tackling Alonzo. It's a philosophical thing.

Those shoes reminded me Kemba was on the court. No kidding, those were the greenest shoes Ive ever seen. Like they were almost glowing.

Agree about Walker being invisible out there otherwise. Walker and Hayward looked flat. Heat were too hungry. Hayward would be a better fit with GS, as far as style of play.
