Ryen RussilloMarcus Smart should be the NBA Defensive Player of the Year
I think Marcus Smart cared even more so because he was having such a good season and wanted to make a push to show that he could be defensive player of the year, which is hard for guards... I'd rather have [his knowledge] than some super athlete that's just freelancing.

PFT CommenterBen Simmons is ready to return for the Nets and just needs to pass the ball and play defense
I think I nailed this one. Cause Ben Simmons is coming back per Shams. They've just kept him on ice... Ben Simmons is ready to come back and yeah, he doesn't really have to do anything. All he has to do is be out on the court on defense and then just pass the ball on offense. That's it.
HankBen Simmons returning to the Nets lineup is actually better for the Celtics
This could be old takes exposed, but I think [Ben Simmons returning] is better for the Celtics... if they're not on the same page and like the third or fourth quarter, like you can't... it'll be really [weird].

Last night with Mitchell not playing well, all the points off of turnovers, which again, he was, he was guilty of. But look, I just have a super hard time with the way he's officiated. It gets so bad with him that I'm like, well I expect there's gonna be some kind of 30 point game. Yeah. I mean he's got the ball in his hands the entire time. But at the end when he needed the free throws, it's like he missed two of the last four. 'cause it—that tells me there's just something about him.
Ryen RussilloThe Knicks should be dangerously confident given how the Eastern Conference is looking
They should be. Because if you go back to the regular season games and you know, you try to figure out, okay, what really matters... Detroit's physicality and their defense messes up New York in a way that feels very real. So if you're a Knicks fan and then watching last night going like, I hope Cleveland wins this based on what you saw in the regular season.

When we're done with this, let's not, not Cade if they don't get through this. 'Cause I think we're all realizing like, Cade could end up becoming the best point guard in the NBA.
