Casey Simpson

@DamienPetersNBA He’s a good coach, he’s just been scapegoated or done dirty everywhere he’s been. Bird never wanted him in Indiana, he didn’t have the talent to succeed in Orlando, was scapegoated because of bad roster moves in LA, and Phoenix is just a disaster organization.

@cmsimpson82 I like this

So who’s best candidate to coach the Orlando Magic?

@cptdankkk He can say this on a podcast, but I’ll bet you when it comes time for him to hire for a position in one of his companies, he’s going with the Harvard grad over the alumni of Bumblefuck Community College every time.

Mark Cuban says taking out a loan to go to college is the dumbest thing you can do "If you can't afford it you can't afford it. Don't take out a ton of loans and f#ck up your future" "I tell people go to community college. Accounting class is accounting class whether it's at a community college or at Harvard" "The delta between the most basic four year school and the best public universities is really small"

@FeelLikePayne @TroutyC4 Biceps and shoulders are looking jacked.

My demon already back in shape❤️‍🩹😭

@JMV1070 It’s a shame one of these teams has to win, because neither deserves to advance to the 2nd round, IMO.

The Eastern Conference sucks.

@sixringsofsteeI Pistons are a 60-win 1 seed. How is this even a question?

Between the Cavs and Pistons which team would have a more disappointing round one exit?

@Dylan_Burd They can’t be trusted in the sense that they’re a good team, but good’s about it. At no point with their current core have they looked like a true championship contending team. Good enough to win a playoff series or maybe 2? Sure. But no one trusts them to be playing in June.

@cmsimpson82 Not sure why the Knicks can’t be trusted. They beat Boston last year when Boston had a significantly better roster. And the Knicks are better this year.

Celtics replaced Holiday, Porzingis, and Horford with Vucevic, Garza, Walsh, Scheierman. They had a Tatum who’s not 100%. And the media and sportsbooks acted like they were shoe-ins to make the NBA Finals. Never made any sense.

@hankstweets @Sportsequalifee @joonlee 5th highest net rating in NBA history, btw.

@cmsimpson82 @Sportsequalifee @joonlee Pft. Okay.

What an absolutely bizarre Celtics season

@joonlee People discount that championship because they’re dumb. That 23-24 Celtics team was statistically one of the most dominant of all time. Only in modern NBA fandom do we hold it against a team for being too good.

This Celtics core of Brown and Tatum already has such a bizarre legacy. A championship that people discount because of the field, and a handful of terrible playoff exits. Given how much talent they’ve had over the years, feels like the group has underperformed overall.

@hankstweets @Sportsequalifee @joonlee It was a cakewalk for them because they were statistically one of the best, most dominant teams of all time. It wasn’t their fault that no one else could compete with them.

@Sportsequalifee @joonlee How about: it was a cakewalk?

@kylerussforever They have the easiest path to the Finals I have ever seen.

i’ll be really really really shocked if knicks don’t make the ecf

All of the talk is going to be around how Boston blew this series, but give the Sixers their flowers. They did what they needed to do, and showed a ton of poise in holding off that Boston rally in the 4th.

@AlexGoldenNBA This is the freest ticket to the NBA Finals I have ever seen in my life. They have absolutely no excuses left. If they don’t get over the hump now, they’re not going to.

New York getting to avoid Indiana and Boston in the playoffs is the best thing that could’ve happened for them

@TonyREast The 3 point shot is way too random and volatile to be a reliable vehicle to sustained success.

The Celtics are very good. Mazzulla is a great coach. They lose also lose too many series that they… absolutely should not lose.

@DarkHaliburton Like actual, literal decades, because that’s how long those games will last with all the free throws.

Embid vs SGA Finals would feed referees families for decades

@the2kmessiah Giannis? I don’t see any other realistic trade out there that makes the Celtics demonstrably better than they are now with JB.

What does a Jaylen Brown trade even look like

@lulljay24 They’re completely out of excuses now. No injuries, no Thibs holding them back, and they’re looking at the prospect of having to go through 2 of the most mid playoff teams you’ll ever see. If it doesn’t happen now, then it’s never happening.

Knicks probably have the most free finals appearance I have seen In quite some time fuck bro

@rileysbetter You do realize how 1 and 2 seeds going 7 games against 7 and 8 seeds is worse than packing them up in 4 or 5, yes?

“Tough West” first round OKC sweep Spurs gentlemens sweep Jokic and Murray humiliation ritual Lakers somehow going to 6 against no KD Houston “Trash East” first round Knicks in tough 6 Philly-Boston game 7 Cavs-Raptors game 7 Pistons-Magic game 7

@primethornton With all of his lingering calf issues and him getting up there in age, Giannis is just an Achilles tear waiting to happen. A lot of teams would still be desperate enough to roll the dice on his health, but Boston shouldn’t be one of them.

What’s your honest opinion if this happens?
