Dont know what to think tbh.
It's like they traded one massive sook for another.
I think Harden is the winner in this situation. He's gone to a better functioning team and the East is so close. In saying that, they are only 5 wins in front of the Nets. Apart from Matisse Thybulle, I have no one on that Sixers team I want to see go all the way. What will happen if Harden and Embiid dont click? Will Harden want out again?
As for the Nets... well I love Patty. But I really went off Kyrie. If the Nets were to go all the way, I would be happy to see Mills get another ring, and Aldrige, Griffin and Seth Curry to win a ring, and of cournse the coach Steve Nash. They really need KD to come back healthy though. If they're going to rise up the East and go on to win it all that is.
I really hope they clash in the upcoming playoffs somewhere. That'd be great.
Over in the West, would love to see CP3 get a ring. Russ and the Lakers are too far back to contend. We might see a lot of great players end up without a ring from this era.

Well that one is over.Presti35 wrote:If we're lucky the sixers and nets will meet in the playoffs.
But still, it was sweet to see the Celtics sweep the Nets.
Dont get me wrong. I want to see Nash succeed as a coach. I want Mills to win again. I would like to see Seth Curry earn his ring. I'd like to see Aldridge, Griffin and Dragic win one too. But Kyrie ruins it. And Simmons adds to that. Those two guys made me happy to see the Nets bow out in this way.
Not overly fond of Harden either and Thybulle is the only Sixer I'd like to see win. So hopefully someone takes care of them soon too.

Celtics with a mammoth win today. After losing game 5 at home after being up by 14, they've gone to Milwaukee and beaten the reining champs to force a game 7.
Simmons former team, the 76ers, bowed out to the Heat. Lots of question marks on Hardens performance have risen. My personal opinion is that Harden lacks the passion to drive any team deep into the playoffs. And he will never win a championship.
Grizzlies showed a lot of heart in their series but lost to a seasoned Warriors team in 6 games.
Surprisingly Phoenix-Dallas is going to seven.
I'll be supporting the Celtics from this point.
