Still early TBH BUT very fast start for Jo Jo

Yeah he 'decked' Marcus Smart tonight with an elbow that wasn't called, not sure if contact was actually made. Smart has been known to try to sell some calls sometimes.

WOW - - - WOW - - -WOW, by far the best all around game for Jo Jo mercy, he is such a load too big , big boy -that's a guy we can all be proud of for sure - - and to think he really didn't want to leave KU at that point. Coach more or less told him he wouldn't be gaining anything by staying kind of pushed him to the NBA -What a Stud

Jo Jo - -14-18 from the field - - 3-4 from the 3 - - - 8 rebounds - - 3 steals - - & a block. - - -36 points. - -they were doubling didn't matter - -fade away's, - - -A couple of Monster and I mean MONSTER JAMS thought he was gonna tear the rim off. - -not going to get any easier for him and the boys

All I seen that he was out for the rest of this game anyways . Happened in the 1st quarter and was ruled out at the half

Having an mri

Dam think Jo Jo is on a mission tonight in Game 5 . Jo Jo has 24 points and 10 rebounds & a block in the 1st half tonight AND a T. - -Philly steam rolling at the half but my GOD Jo Jo is killing them

Damn. Blew another lead.

Honestly unreal. Philly gifting the Hawks a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. This series should be over.

LeBron pointing at the condensed season as the reason all the stars are gimpy. He's not wrong.

This is going to lead to more rest for guys next season, and the inevitable accusations of players being soft now because they aren't playing a full season.

Truth is, guys need the rest and time to heal, and since they didn't have it, guys are breaking down this year at an alarming pace. The champ this year is probably going to be the team that can get to the finish line mostly intact, because every team is leaking oil at this point.

Epic Epic meltdown , where do you start ? - - part of the blame HAS to go on Rivers. - - SIMMONS JUST KILLED Philly AT THE LINE. you can not - - can not leave him in in those conditions, part has to go on Jo Jo himself - - yes had a very good game BUT Jo Jo is not the person you want taking a late three to try and tie a game - he is just not. -So many things/players to share blame.

EPIC meltdown you up 83-61 with 2 fricking minutes to go in the third and you choke? Come on , your supose to be a professional holy crap. -Well like has been said - -PHILLY - -done - - done - - done.
Hard to concieve a team losing a lead that big that late - -OH WELL - - - -DONE

Philly punishing Atlanta rn. Seth Curry on fire.

Nm. I was confused. They're replaying yesterday's game. Up by 20 with 30 seconds left in the 3rd. How the heck did they lose this @jayballer67 ?

It was multiple things. Like I said your up 83-61 - -then it became the hack attack , for one for some time Atlanta fouled Simmons didn't matter if he had the ball or not. - - Horrible , - Horrible free throw shooter, he was back in College too. - That was one thing, then Curry who had been killing it from the three all night missed some vital one's - -Jo Jo wasn't innocent either Atlanta makes their comeback and in a very critical stretch you have Jo Jo wanting to launch a 3 - -THAT IS NOT who you want shooting a 3 at that stage of the game.

I blame Rivers for leaving Simmons in to long , he was a liability late but Rivers waited to long then he kept putting him back in - -again a liability -Why the hell he didn't play Maxey earlier - -who the hell knows. - - It was probably the biggest meltdown I EVER remember watching - -it was like Is this really happening?- - - Then Young startd throwing his BS in. - Dam I hated that kid in College & Can't stand him now

Boy I'm telling you , Seth Curry has been huge for Philly in this series - - -HUGE. - -Philly playing to lose this series , they best step it up in game 7 or their Season is OVER. Game 7 Sunday night in Philly.

Once again there were just some bonehead things - - AGAIN I love Jo Jo but one more time this IS NOT the guy you wanting shooting 3's in a late game situation & tight He just can not be shooting that kind of shot latte when you are in a do or die. His best game is on the base line sweet little turn around fade away jumper or close in the lane or even the Medium range jumper but just to much on the line for that to be the go to guy to shoot the 3 in a tight late game situation. - They just CAN NOT - - CAN NOT settle for that scenario.

Again some blame AGAIN goes on Rivers - -you can't continue to play Simmons late. - -Rivers made the comment that his logic is if Simmons makes his free throws he stays in -- if he doesn't he comes out. - -Well Hello that played a part in the game 5 loss and then again tonight - - HELLO he missing and he stays finally they bring in Maxey - -he has had a couple good games in this Series - -just use your dam heda man.

I think Philly will win this Sunday but they gonna have to step up

@jayballer67 wow Seth Curry. How's that back feel?
