Embid seems to always have someone to blame. A poor character trait which you think he might have grown out of.
Meanwhile some fantastic second round series - Mavs v Thunder (go Mavs) - Knicks v Pacers and Nuggets v Timberwolves. Celts are a cert over flakey Cavs. I’m hoping for Mavs v Wolves and Celtics v Knicks Conference Finals.

I'll say it again: their strategy of trying to throw down 3 point bombs en masse is fraught with danger in pressure packed playoff games. Their attempts today were a little bit down, but still, 8 from 35 today. Terrible. Wake up Mazzulla ! You dont have Steph Curry out there !
Been doing my head in for the last 3 years.
To be honest, it’s always been there. For as good as Brown and Tatum are, as Perkins said last year, they’re questionable under pressure.
And Mobley scoring 21 points and 10 rebounds. Doesn’t get that with Porzingis playing
Porzingis straightens them up a bit ie playing in the paint and inside the 3 point line a bit more.
They were obviously the best team in the regular season, but gee they have gotten lucky so far in the play offs.
No Jimmy Butler (or Rozier) for the Heat
The no Jarrett Allen for the Cavs, then no Mitchell for games 4 and 5, then no LaVert for game 5.
Looking like a Celtics/Nuggets finals i reckon.
Giddey dropped from the starting group for the latest game against the Mavs. Didn’t help - they still lost. At this stage I would say that is the right move by the Thunder. Giddey is an absolute liability on defense and needs a lot of the ball to be effective on offence. Running the second unit where, in particular, his size which enables him to play bully-ball and get to the rim and his passing would most benefit that team. I would have thought the big J Williams would have been his replacement - not Joe though.
