Lakers might be the first team eliminated. LeBron has never been swept in the First Round.

not gonna lie, I'm lowkey enjoying that the Knicks have to deal with Philly right now. Embiid cooking them on one leg and with a Bell's Palsy diagnosis is comedy. A couple of late game heroics is the only reason this isn't a 3-0 series in Philly's favor.

this is one aspect where I believe if the Cavs were Philly's opponent instead of the Knicks this would not be the case, because stats aside -- the Cavs suck ass at defending the 3.
Everyone else reduces him to a pile of liable doo-doo, including the Knicks.

lol? that was a dirty fucking play and Embiid should have been tossed. But I know LeFlopEmbiid gets away with bullshit all day every day. To make light of a situation where someone who already has a serious injury history could get hurt is bullshit.
And that's not even mentioning the dirty m'fer kneeing both Hartenstein and Robinson in the nuts.

Yeah, I'm not really sure what he was on there. The Nuggets are simply a vastly superior team. Game 2 was literally the perfect example of this. The Lakers played their best game, the Nuggets played their worst...and the Nuggets still won.
Oh, and they're going to repeat, too.

i took lol as directed at the non-believable comment nurse made. not as support for embiid making a dirty play.
but admittedly i am a professional appreciator of hundereds of lol comments and laughing emojis by @bushwick_bill over many years, mostly in the politics forum. just as he knows my overuse of laughing emjois.
I’ve never seen a team that has another teams number like the Nuggets do the Lakers. This year and last the Lakers have multiple times built leads of 15-20 points and the Nuggets just methodically dismantled them anyway. That team is so well constructed, while the Lakers are Old Lebron, mysteriously not as good as he should be AD, and a pile of junk.
I did however enjoy @Rich asserting in his usual tone of totally self-assured certainty and confidence that the Lakers were going to come back in the series right after they had their soul ripped out in Game 2.

That's pretty unfair - even the GOAT gets old.

Sorry, wasn't really trying to shit on you. Still pissed about last night. I can take losing, never expected a sweep. I can take physical play (obviously as a Knicks fan you kind of welcome physical play) but Embiid was just fucking blatantly dirty last night. And the m'fer ends up shooting 21 FT's.

Forget it, the bitter exes are impervious to the “c” word (context.)
If only LeBron had failed to make the playoffs with a negative record in his twilight years and instead had to choose which beer brand as he watched them from his couch like a certain other someone, the GOAT talk would really be heating up.
