Giannis with Dame was a negative!
They shoudve just stayed with jru & trying to go add/ trade for jimmy butler or some

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Golden State Warriors handed the Boston Celtics the 2024 Championship. With the roster that the Celtics put together this season that the Bucks and Warriors could’ve had on their roster for the 2023 – 2024 Season.
Bucks should’ve kept Jrue Holiday and traded Khris Midleton to Portland Trail Blazers for Dame. If they were hell bent on getting Dame to the Bucks. Would have an Offensive Guard in Dame and Defensive Guard in Jrue.
Golden State Warriors should’ve traded for Kristaps Porzingis (on the Washington Wizards before getting traded to Boston Celtics) instead of getting Chris Paul (from the Wizards). Warriors could’ve used Porzingis size in the Play-In Vs Sacramento Kings who had a bigger and faster roster than Golden State this season.
If Jrue Holiday is still on the Bucks and Porzingis is in Golden State. Boston doesn’t make the NBA Finals this season and be on the verge on winning a Championship in “2024”.

This was a corny comeback by Stephen A. Joel wasn’t trying to say anything but what he said.
Why they always trying to make a few words mean more?

They seem to forget Giannis didn’t play a single game in the playoffs

Embiid is not particularly smart, don’t pay attention to him

Sorry but this is the difference between Windhorst and SAS. Windy speaks about the topic not go into another planet like SAS. I don’t agree with Embiids post. But Windy talked about that post not going off the rails and talk about the Sixers. 🤦🤦

The bigger question should be will Joel Embiid be healthy next season especially come playoff time.

i love how the commentators’ reaction to boston basically winning it this year is to start talking about how great philly is. embiid played and they couldn’t even beat a crippled nyc team and get out of the first round…. you really think they can hang w boston next year? no way.

Giannis needs to be load managed throughout the season. He’s always injured come playoff time. Choose a better coach and replace pat bev and they will give Boston a run for their money next year and be real contenders

If Joel did his history, The 76ers gave Jrue away and picked Ben Simmons over Jimmy Bulter

JE should be focused on trying to get past the second round next year playoffs that’s what he should be focused on because if they don’t get past the second round next year same ole story with this team

Embiid this is why the Celtics are in the Finals
1) The Bucks have Doc Rivers
2) Jimmy Butler got injured
3) the Pacers got injured
4) You have a glass body
This is why Celtics came out in the East as conference winners

Is Mr. Smith suggesting that Embiid was somehow ruminating about all this detail before hitting send?! Get hinged, congressman.
