With the NBA calendar in its normal quiet period, now felt like a good time to talk about some of Joel Embiid’s best playoff performances with the Sixers entering yet another season in which a deep playoff run will be the expectation. We’ve made a list of Embiid’s five best playoff games and will roll them out for you to debate and discuss if said game belongs on our list and what your memories are from that particular game. Without further ado, let’s dive in with Game 3 against the Toronto R...

The Utah Jazz are poised to make their franchise’s first playoff run since 2022. Unfortunately for fans of the purple and baby blue — and for three years, neon yellow — there will be four fewer beat reporters covering the team than there were just one year ago. On Thursday, the Deseret News’ Sarah Todd announced on X that she was being laid off after seven years in Salt Lake City.

In two seasons, he hasn’t missed a game...

Pickins’ are slim & I understand that a few other names might shake loose when teams trim rosters down the line. I also excluded two-way options such as Liam Robbins, Julian Reese & Duop Reath. This is the current Knicks third center reality. Who will be the lucky winner? submitted by /u/Joeblowpublic [link] [comments]
