The nets need a legitimate point guard to upgrade over dinwiddie. Somebody who can create for others and himself. Somebody who will be available to make a move for without giving up trade assets from their exciting young core.

They need kyrie irving.

He makes his money on defense

LeBron had 28 points on 52% shooting against him and 12 rebounds.

I hope James drops a 45 point triple double on him next game.

I want an alternate timeline where the Mavs resign Jalen Brunson but include him in the trade for Kyrie.

Jesus Christ does Embiid always flop THIS much or is this something he summons for the playoffs?

Good to get one back. Warriors did a much better job penetrating tonight, and the matchups were pretty good. I hope we get GP2 back soon, but I think Dray really might be a net minus out there against the Kings starters. Obviously it helped that the Kings were shooting really, really cold.

Glad the suns won and really hope they can put it together and win the finals so CP3 can go out on top and stop embarrassing himself. Probably his worst shooting performance since he arrived in Phoenix

No

Monty is going to run the starters into the ground at this rate though. I know cam payne is out but Cp3 can’t be playing 41 minutes last year when he was still great. Definitely not now

why isn't t Ross getting any run? tj and Landry aren't even able to hang for 4 minutes, figured he'd get a chance to try a little tonight

He’s been bad defensively but not THAT bad. Honestly I can’t make heads or tails of anything Monty is doing at this point.

Booker and Durant are both playing waaaaaay too many minutes. It’s understandable to want them out there together as much as possible but it’s (hopefully) a long postseason and they both have injury history this season and prior. Same for cp3.

Shamet has barely played all season and as soon as he’s healthy Monty bumped him to the front of the bench rotation. He can’t shoot worth a drat any more, defensively he’s adequate but nothing more. Meanwhile damion lee has basically been riding pine since loving February and now he’s back getting minutes over ross and warren? Okogie ran with the starters every game since the trade deadline but he gets moved to the bench for reasons unexplained. Torrey Craig has been excellent in this series so I won’t quibble with that too much but I just don’t get any of the decisions here. Shamet barely played tonight but ross hadn’t been bad enough defensively to be a DNP.

TLDR: 🤷🏻‍♂️

I believe I have heard over the years CP3 is a great citizen off the court and obviously he is due for a ring, but OTOH I believe I have heard that on the court he has assaulted a bunch of groins so it is a tough call.

Funny how back during his first few seasons playing, there was a whole thing around "Embiid is going to destroy his ligaments, he needs to learn how to just fall down" and now the thing is whining about him being a flopper.

Kings will beat a worn out lakers and Nuggets.

It’s the circle of life.

Feels weird given that the consensus still seems to be that he's a really great coach, but also it seemed kinda indicated by the way the team underperformed all season with the bad vibes everywhere.

Heartbreaking to see the Sixers, Warriors and Suns win on the same night. Clearly this is the NBA writers trying to build drama before the hero teams come back and win 😔
