Re: Nba

Geez. How about giving a bit of credit to Nate and the Hawks for pulling it off? All the focus is on an overrated players missing FTs, those Hawks played incredible and were coached so well.

Fun fact. We were torn on what to name our son. Harrison or Nathaniel, my brother had a word and said 'Nathaniel shortened is Nate, Nate McMillan" That convinced me so my son was kind of named after Mr Sonic himself.

They did a great job. Down double digits plenty of times in the series and came back to win. But when your star player goes 5-23 and have stretches of struggling to score, Philly’s "stars" have to put them away. It’s game 7 at home and they couldn’t do it.

CJ McCollum for Simmons doing the rounds....after game 7 it almost makes sense. Simmons would actually complement Lillard quite well.

Portland are putrid defending so it has merit. But I still don't like any situation where he's the second best player. He needs to be the 3rd-4th, could see him fitting Golden State with Steph, Klay and Draymond.

The talkback on Simmons has been huge, it'll take a bit for him to rebound from this.

Pulling out from the Olympics won't help. A big campaign from him could lighten the load over the offseason. Pulling out will only bring more scrutiny from Australia.

With all respect to Australia the scrutiny from Australia is nothing compared to the scrutiny from the US.

I'm usually all for players joining the National Team but I actually support him not going this time round. He looked mentally shot at the end of that series and he owes it to himself and his team to spend every minute of the off-season working to improve.

What a nightmare the final 90 seconds were with 278 replay reviews. Play the game for goodness sake.

HUGE play by Monty and the Suns / Ayton.

Funny seeing PG miss two FT's which essentially cost them the game!

Playoff P!

How good was Cameron Payne?! CP3's backup who was playing in China early last year after being a journeyman in the NBA, he dominated today. Great story, how good is sport?

Yeah that was just far too much. Bloody great 0.9 seconds to 0.7 seconds though.

Suns a bit lucky after Bridges stupidly went for the 3 instead of taking it inside when wide open.

Great to see wasn't it. That being said, down the stretch he couldn't get it done. It's not someone they can ride all series, Booker needs to get off the Beverley leash.

Hopefully Suns in 4. ��

Trae Young is quickly becoming my most favourite player to watch.

Absolutely on FIRE right now v Bucks.

Yep, he's definitely the best thing about the Eastern conference now.
