For the second straight year Julius Randle has disappeared in the playoffs

If the Twolves were going to have a chance to win this series they needed Julius to give them something, but he's been horrendous in the series

He's been averaging 14 pts a game on 36.6% shooting, 21% from three, with his net rating being in the gutter

He's making $30 mil a year to be absolutely useless. When the Twolves look for a new point guard they need to look for a new small forward too, this guy cannot be a part of Ant's future in MN

Tonight is potentially Lebron's last game as a Laker

All season Lakers fans were saying the Lakers need to get rid of Lebron and pay Austin Reaves, they said AR was a star and Lebron makes them worse, and once again Lebron carries a team through a playoff round with no help, and once again Reaves is useless in the playoffs

Lets not forget the Lakers were in poverty before Lebron came to LA. The Lakers had 5 straight losing seasons, the worst streak in their franchise history, dating back to Kobe's last three seasons. But Kobe knew the losing was over when Lebron joined

Kobe on Lebron joining the Lakers (2018):

>"These last few years have been really, really tough. Last year the playoffs were not even in the conversation, now the expectations change. He fully understands what this organization is about and he's not afraid of that challenge. He wants to get a championship back to the city of Los Angeles, and we're all here to help him do it"

If Kobe can appreciate Lebron then Lakers fans have no reason not to

Joel Embiid still has value, the Sixers are done contending with him and should trade him while they can

Joel is the only Sixer who showed up in this game, 24 pts on 8-8 shooting, 2-2 from 3pt

When he's healthy and can stay on the court he's still a top 15 player in the league, but the Sixers are not a good team around him outside of Maxey and VJ's potential

Joel also deserves a shot to compete with a good team instead of being stuck in another rebuild

Ajay Mitchell is better than Austin Reaves and it's not particularly close

Ajay Mitchell in the close out game 4: 24 pts on 10-17 from the field, 10 assists, 0 turnovers

Compared to Austin Reaves, 17 pts on 5-13 shooting, 1-5 from 3pt, with 5 turnovers

AR wants $35-40 mil this off-season and Lakers fans are so in love with him for some reason they want the Lakers to pay that for a guy who is badly outplayed by the fourth best player on OKC Thunder

Harden saves the Cavs in game 3: 19 pts, 8-14 from the field, 7 assists

Harden scored the last 7 out of 10 points at the end of the 4th quarter for the Cavs in a close game

Cade with 3 awful turnovers in the last 2:30 when the Piston were only down 2, really ruined an otherwise great game from him and basically threw the game away

Tyese Maxey disappeared in the 4th quarter for the Sixers who are now down 3-0

Maxey took 3 shots in the 4th quarter, he wasn't being double teamed, he was just passing the ball to the next guy as Stan Van Gundy said, and Stan was saying the whole quarter Maxey has to do more and he never did

If he wants to be the star of the team he can't take 3 shots in the 4th quarter in a playoff game and hope other guys will make shots. He had 0 free throws, which tells you how much he was attacking

Austin has always been a playoff dropper, but this was a disgusting game by him

He wants $35-40 million in the off-season and Lakers fans are so dumb they want the Lakers to pay him

Austin is not a star player, he's a role player at best

Tobias has been a meme for years thanks to Jimmy and his poor play combined with his contract, but give him his flowers. Without him the Pistons would have lost this series and been a laughingstock

Tobias scored 20 or more points in 5 straight games to help Detroit come back 3-1 on the Magic

Love Jokic but keep the same energy. No Anthony Edwards, no Donte Divencenzo, no Ayo Dosunmo, and they lose game 6 by double digits as one of the favorites to win the title

Jaden McDaniels and the 8-man Twolves rotation attacked the paint all night and exposed Jokic's poor paint defense. Minnesota had 64 points in the paint, the most by any team in the playoffs this year

Lakers fans really think this guy is a star player and they should pay him the $40 million he wants to be Luka’s number two
