5 blocks for Big Al last night.

He did a great job picking up Cory Joseph full court. That stupid pick play with Pritchard was getting so fucking annoying. Glad they finally shut that shit down.

Guy is asked to play a different role every night. Simply amazing.

Al Horford as primary defender vs Franz/Paolo in Game 4, per NBA tracking:

7 PTS, 3-15 FG, 3 BLK

Magic overall vs Al, Gm4:

11 PTS, 5-19 FG, 5 BLK

Magics vs Al, full series:

21-64 FG, 32.8 DefFG% (12% below expected FG%)

4th best DFG% in playoffs among 115 players > 20 DFGA

36 ppg with great defense since this post

10 assists last night alone while Brown had 12 for the entire series and played 1 more game

Not sure when the haters/shit fans will stop comparing these guys but it's a shame to be heavily influenced by media member votes

JB is a top ~15-20 player but Tatum is hands down a top 5 player

People need to stop comparing them and just enjoy the show

Buddy just said hands down too 5 player.

And we wonder why Celtics fans get clowned 😂

Says the guy who ranks JB ahead of him

When does Embiid play again?

Top 5 is debatable since fans are always talking about it, except Celtics fans ofc

JB when it matters most, yes.

Hence the finals MVP.

More hardware when it matters most. JT will do what he always does and put up big numbers until the lights get bright and then he puts up concert date shooting numbers and watches his team bail him out every other game per usual. Rinse and repeat

Top 5? This guy shot like 30% in the finals, watched his teammate win MVP, and then was the water boy 15th man for team USA in the olympics. Top 5!?!? Bruh

as a JB fan this is the truth. Tatum is carrying this team this postseason, i'm here for it.

4-1 but Knicks are so soft that I actually think we can 4-0

Do everything to stop Brunson. Plenty of options.

Bridges can't get open and lives off of off the dribble contested middies. Not a problem.

OG just a cone.

KAT the X-factor. He hit some BIG time tough shots against the Pistons. His tough shot making can be an issue, but seeing how difficult it was for him to get open against Detroit(outside of some Curry 3s) + how well the Cs handled Bancheno, he isn't an issue.

Just bring on the Cavs

I feel like the Cavs will be more tested by the Pacers, I have the Cavs as the 2nd best team and the Pacers as the 3rd

IDK if the Knicks played down to their competition or if this is who they are. Cade had a bad series and the Pistons lost 3 games at home but still made it interesting, despite also being down a key rotation piece

I expect Celtics in 4 or 5 and Cavs in 6 or 7
