Brunson taking over in the fourth, about to put away Philly for good. He was a top 10 player in the league this year, and he's the #1 scorer in the entire playoffs so far.
Does anyone still think he wasn't worth an extra 5 mil a year or whatever the hell it was? Smh.

So badly want the Sixers to win ugh.
Uh, I said Brunson was worth 30+ and some people thought I was nuts.

I'm trying not to sweat it too much because Kyrie has been awesome for us. But damn, Brunson is 5 years younger, plus we gave up serious assets to get Kyrie.

Last time Rick won a playoff series, the Mavs won a championship
Mavs second championship confirmed

I think Brunson is kinda like the Nash situation. He was never going to be the player he is now playing with Luka. But damn it hurts knowing they lost him for nothing. I?ve liked Brunson since college, so I?m happy for the guy. Wish the whole situation of him leaving had been handled better, but it?s in the past.

Difference is Nash gave the Mavs the opportunity to match...Brunson didn't.
His sights were set on NY for a while. That's the right of a free agent.
I'm happy for his success.

Yeah
Nash - Cuban screwed up. It still turned out okay. I'm not sure we even win a championship with him. I'm not sweating it.
Brunson - Sounds like he wanted out. He wouldn't be an all-star and potentially on pace for a HOF nomination if he stayed there. I'm actually happy for him and pleased that Nico came in and patched up the hole he left. Again, I'm not bothered.

I hadn?t even thought about the matchup like that, but I agree I am excited to watch it now for that reason.

some entertaining debate in the comment section
interesting to hear the complaining about Lue among other things - that'd probably be us about Kidd if we lost

Haliburton is still a big question mark. He is a great assist man, but I don't think he is in the superstar category yet.
He's just not really a great scoring guard. Remind me a bit of Deron Williams. Guys who are almost superstars but just not quite it.

Wolves match up really well with Denver. Great start.

I honestly find it odd the way the whole basketball world just seems to assume that Denver is winning the title. They might, but Minnesota is really good and does match up really with them with all of their size in the frontcourt. I wouldn't be at all shocked if Minnesota won this series.
Also, I'm not at all certain the Nuggets would be the favorites in a series against the Celtics.

Aaaaand Minny takes game 1. ANT is incredible. Also, Naz Reid is a beast. The Mavs desperately need someone like that. Here's hoping Omax can be some approximation of what Reid is.

Magic had a huge lead and lost it. Refs calling this game pretty 1 sided in the Cavs favor.

What a choke job by the Magic. Really makes you appreciate having someone like Luka that can get you a basket when you desperately need it.

They?re young. But big time choke
