Dawg Paul George will never win anything but some regular season games

I don’t think PG gets all the calls he should, but I also think he has himself to blame. He goes up soft and tries to avoid contact a lot of times, so refs just don’t give him the benefit of the doubt. He needs to just deal with it instead of complaining about it.

PG ain’t lying but I wouldn’t blow the whistle in his favor either.

 

[pmatic]

I think PG suffers from what Derrick Rose had years ago. So athletic and smooth, he tries to avoid contact and it ends up biting him in the *** for it.

PG had no fouls called against him in the game
and hes complaining about " getting calls" in his favor ?

 

[QU!K]

That would be the starting point to make the salaries work. Obviously more players, picks and even teams involved.

Sounded like Toronto wanted to good by Fat Boy and he's from Philly.

The solution that makes the most sense is a 3 team trade between cavs raps and Sixers

Lowry to Sixers
Drummond to Raps
Draft picks and green/scott to Cavs

If I'm them, Ben's playing KD all night for 7 games.. Give Ben breaks when KD takes his and try to play that matchup as much as possible.. Put Thybulle and Green on Kyrie/Harden.

Tobias can chase Harris around and only switch when he has to.

Nah, start out with
Green on Myrie (LOL)
Tobias on KD
Simmons on Officer Jim
Sous Chef can chasing Joe Harris all game
Embiid patrols the paint

You can switch Tobias and Ben if it calls for it. When closing you have Thybulle on Myrie

You put Ben on Jim because you know his game. PnR or Stepbacks. Simmons has the length to bother the passes and contest if he decides to take it himself. If Jim is allowed to bait fouls then it doesn’t matter. That’s really it

LeBron once went weeks without getting a foul called against him and it didn't stop him from still asking refs for whistles.

 

[MVP]

Think the Nets would handle the Sixers in 5. Embiid is the only one to trust to show out every game.

but "lebron dont play defense " tho

 

[addict4sneakers]

PG drives for contact and rarely gets the call. But he doesn’t try to bait refs on the perimeter which I think works against his favor

 

[misha]

LOL

what’s the better odds you giving

A point on top

if y’all put Ben on kd he’s still gonna get his

Kyrie and harden been balling all them can shoot the three and u got Harris as ur shooter . And y’all forget the playoffs experience they got Gl beating them in 7 green or shake can’t gUard Harden or Irving as the season goes on the better they get

 

[amitt5504]

YALL really trusting Jim to show up in the playoffs?

 

[pums]

YALL really trusting Jim to show up in the playoffs?

Ya’ll trusting anyone else from your team aside from Embiid? Simmons could have a single digit game and no one would be shocked .

That’s a reason Wall doesn’t get calls either lol

Against the other teams in the East, yes.

Yea because no one is demanding Ben to score 30 a game lol I trust our defense when everyone is on the floor. Who’s still gonna guard Embiid?

 

[Moheezy]

This man had 43 points and ZERO assists last night. Like what?!?

Sounds like he knows his role

 

[pums]

The nets have the 2 best players in the east.

I wouldn't be surprised if some coaches game plan for Ben to score and defend everyone else. And I personally wouldn't be worried about that.

 

[MVP]

He'll show up for 2 outta the 4 wins they need in a given series. Have a clunker, but that's why you have KD and Myrie.

 

[pums]

It’s never gonna be a simple one on one matchup but Embiid could get 40 and 3 of the nets could go for 30 each

 

[lovehateself]

*non injured

 

[Moheezy]

He's a scorer, that's what he does.

Lowry, Vanvleet, Siakam went 7/37 last night.

Vanvleet and Siakam first came back from covid so they get a pass

Writing on the wall for Lowry's future with the Raptors tbh.

Lowry needs to find his way to Philly ASAP.

Raptors get Maxey & Drummond
Cavs get Picks and fillers
Sixers get Lowry

It's a win for every team and every player. This NEEDS to happen.

 

[amitt5504]

It’s never gonna be a simple one on one matchup but Embiid could get 40 and 3 of the nets could go for 30 each

That simple one on one with Embiid dictates everything. Especially when he’s bullying inside and racking up FTs.

Do you double Embiid or let others try to beat you?
