Giannis is in complete role player mode at the end of this Lakers game. Rebounds and passing; can’t make the clutch basket. Just blew two crucial free throws.

Re: Around the League: 2023-24 Season
Jontay Porter is under investigation by the NBA following multiple instances of betting irregularities over the past several months, sources told ESPN.
Prop bets involving Porter from games on Jan. 26 and March 20 are under investigation with the league "looking into it."
There was increased betting interest on the under for Porter props, which for the night were set at around 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists. There was also an over/under for Porter's made 3-pointers, which was 0.5.
Porter played just four minutes before leaving the game because of what the Raptors said was an aggravation of an eye injury he had suffered four days earlier in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Porter did not score against the Clippers but three rebounds and one assist, and he did not attempt a 3, meaning the under hit on all of the props.
On March 20, in a game against the Sacramento Kings, Porter played just three minutes before leaving the game because of what the Raptors said was an illness and did not return. He did not score, attempted and missed one shot, and had two rebounds.
Sportsbooks had his over/unders set at around 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds.
The next day, DraftKings SportsBooks reported to its users that Porter's prop bets were the No. 1 moneymaker from the night in the NBA.
"People were trying to do whatever they could to bet Jontay Porter props [against the Clippers]," the source said. "And then, just a few days ago, the same thing. We had a bunch of people trying to bet under for more."
Porter missed games on Saturday and Monday for personal reasons.

Man, the 2 seed could have been ours. East sucks this year outside of Boston.

I love the Heat. They don't seem to GAF who they play in the playoffs as long as they get in. The Celtic...no problem we have beaten them before when it matters most we can do it again. The Bucks no problem we have handled them too. We are just going to get our game right our players healed up and then play some playoff basketball. Worrying about who we play in the first round is for teams like the 76ers not us.
The Accession of Paul Reed is upon us !

The 7th seed will work the same way. All 76ers fans know if the team ended up with the 2nd seed they were bound to lose a game at home. It's the 76ers way.

I blame Doc for this. But also some players just don't hit their stride until they get traded and realize. Hey I may be out of the league if I don't get my act together. And sometimes it's just a matter of timing and maturity. Either way I'm happy the guy has found a nice role for himself on the Thunder.

Really should have went for Dejounte at the deadline. Opportunity is gone now.

Re: Around the League: 2023-24 Season
Miles McBride has been electric this past month. How's Jaden Springer doing... lol.
Hindsight is obviously 20/20, but Herb Jones or Miles McBride were the picks there. I wasn't quite as high on Herb as McBride because of him being a 4 year player and a sub 75% FT shooter, but I did like him because he fulfills a ton of my prerequisites as a prospect.
Then again, Jaden Springer kinda did too. He was just boring as a prospect at Tennessee.

Not in a 7 game series. The Sixers do not have the mental strength the Heat have shown the last 5 seasons.
