Oh, I had high expectations like everyone else for one of the top 7 favorites in the league to win it all?

I mean you act like I said anything that wasn't widely stated by the "experts" :rofl:


Remember when ^Article said the Lakers would be a guaranteed conference finals team and make this deep run?

Dude was so bought into the moment when they traded for Luka :rofl:


so explain how its different?
lakers were 4th fav to win it all after the trade

apparantly its much worse to say third seed team will make the conf finals vs lottery team with contend for a championship. guy loves to forget that he is wrong more than you or Kimtown. same reason most people dont even give their sports opinions is this guy is going to bring it up forever if you do

Because the sixers were the most injured team in the league. They had no shot of wining anything if they were playing a g-league team half the season. No Embiid for 90% of the season = no shot. Let alone PG playing on a bum knee in the few games he did play, etc. This was one of the best rosters in the league entering the season so stop acting like I had some hot take saying they'd be good..we allll said there's a big IF around health with them, so stop acting like it was some hot take 😂

But they did well tanking later in the season. I'm proud of them for going full tank and getting top 5 lottery odds. Woulda been pissed to see them do what the Bulls did lmao.

Lakers were never going to make a deep run as I said. Healthy or not.The Luka trade was long term, but the fit currently was horrible because their defense is still ass and they have no bigs to protect the rim. Jackson was sooo fucking sure they were a lock to make the WCF's and was so confident despite the fit clearly not being a good one with all of the holes the Lakers have. They were a terrible defensive team WITH Anthony Davis, one of the best defenders in the league. What did we think was gonna happen with him gone in place of a pylon like Luka? Just common sense observations really...

It's hilarious to me that people actually believed luka and lebron would do anything this year. Neither of those dudes play defense... Almost as delusional as all the "76ers winning the east" takes you had.

I never said the 76ers would win the east....I said they'd contend in the east.

Which was pretty concensus considering their roster was much improved. It was always about health though. One big asterisk around health.

We need one of these first-round series to live up to the hype and go a full seven games.
If the Rockets win Game 4 tonight we'll be all tied up 2-2 and coming back to Houston. 🚀 <3
And I'm calm as can be. Eating a pepperoni pizza with vanilla ice cream right now. Not worried.
