They looked good until they got Stephed. I was thinking about moving them up my rankings but they didn't close it out so they stay where they are. But I could see them back in the NBA finals if they get rolling come playoff time.

Yeah, I think we still have them in about the right place. They're in the same tier as Denver and the Knicks (who you do need to move up).

When is Nick Nurse getting fired? I think it's pretty clear that he had nothing to do with the Raptors championship. I shouldn't say that. He was a good coach early in his career but as soon as he started wearing his own branded hats it was over.

He was pretty good during that run. The box and one vs Curry was amazing. I guess he got success and let the hubris get to him. Having a giant (literally and figuratively) diva as your star player doesn't help too. Probably getting fired soon.

Good point. I think he needs to be with a young team or a scrappy team to get the best out of them.

I was going to say "trade Embiid and keep Nurse", but I don't think they're allowed to trade Embiid this year.
Philly just has to wallow in it.

I feel sorry for Philly. They thought they hit the jackpot with a generational talent, just to find out he's a crybaby diva. Well, at least Maxey seems to be the real deal.
