Did you forget about Stockton?  I don't really put Curry in the PG category. 

Yeah, comparing curry to Paul George is just insulting

I didn't list everyone. I said "the likes of." Google "best point guards ever" and you can find all kinds of lists.

I'll pass.  No pun intended. 

[MuggsyB]

I can't say I followed the NBA regular season that closely but I'm super surprised Detroit looks this bad as a 1 seed.  WTF?

So you asked a question, you were given the answer, you debated the answer, but you don't want to actually take 2 minutes to educate yourself. Perfect!

I prefer other options to Google.

The Magic had a 22 point lead in a home closeout game and have scored 12 points in the first 19 minutes of the second half? 1 point in the first 7 minutes of the fourth quarter? Woof.

Always fun when the Muggsy jinx works in your team's favor.

This is crazy!!  I think they have 4 pts in the 4Q!

[tower912]

19 second half points allowed.  89-90 Bad Boys flashbacks.

19 pts in a half is something I cannot remember seeing in the NBA.  I didn't jinx them. 

[MU82]

Credit to the Pistons, of course, but what an epic collapse by the Magic. At one point, they missed something like 20 straight shots.

[tower912]

45 minutes of real time between made baskets.

Thanks again, Muggsy.

Apparently they have had three ganes of fewer than 25 points in a half in this series!!!  Not my fault at all.

Never go full Bennett ball

[MuggsyB]

Philly is gagging this game away. 

[wadesworld]

Embiid quieting the crowd while up 4 with 7:30 left sure is something. Especially when the Sixers built a 15 point lead with him on the bench to see it wilt in the 4th when he came back in.

Now they've decided they can just run the clock out, rolling the ball to take as much time as possible up by 1 with 5:30 left. Maybe try getting Embiid out of the game and let Maxey and Edgecomb run rather than seeing Embiid jab at the nail 15 times before a late clock jumper.

Agreed.  That was a ridiculous gesture to the crowd at that time. 

[MuggsyB]

No idea why Embiid keeps launching.

[MuggsyB]

The Knicks should roll Philly. 

[wadesworld]

The Knicks should roll Philly. 

Not if they let Maxey and Edgecomb cook.

[MuggsyB]

The best chance for Philly vs NY is giving Maxey a massive green light. 

[MuggsyB]

Nigel is a smaller Maxey.  But he must improve his jumper.

[GB Warrior]

I came here to make a Doc Rivers blowing a 3-1 lead joke, but he had coached both of these franchises.

[MU82]

Say what you want about Embiid, but he was a warrior today. Just a few weeks after appendix surgery, and he kept getting hit on the knees, yet he kept going, even diving on the floor for a loose ball. Oh, and 34 points, 12 boards and 6 assists, too.

But I do agree about Maxey; he deferred a little too much today.
