This will be for any off season discussion. Coach firings, player rumors.

I wouldn't be shocked like the Clippers if they don't win Game 7 vs the Mavs to not see the Blazers be blown up. Dame is going to be Dame, but the guy needs help and CJ is their best piece to get him more help.

Damn Blake out of no where! Harden was injured first minute of game. Hopefully he’s ok in long run.

Looks like Embiid's starting in Game 1. That's good news for @HoHo Kimura. I just hope he takes it easy on that right knee.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will start in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.

Embiid had been considered a game-time decision after suffering a small lateral meniscus tear in his right knee.

He was injured when he fell during a Game 4 loss to the Washington Wizards in the first round of the playoffs. He missed Philadelphia's series-clinching win in Game 5.

The Sixers said the injury will be addressed not with surgery but with a physical therapy and treatment program.

This season was the best of Embiid's NBA career, as the 27-year-old averaged 28.5 points and 10.6 rebounds while shooting career bests from the field (51.3%), 3-point range (37.7%) and the free throw line (85.9%) in 52 games, leading the Sixers to the best record in the Eastern Conference. He was also named a finalist for the league's MVP award.

The Sixers are 42-13 with Embiid in the lineup and 11-11 without him.

Atlanta's De'Andre Hunter will not play in the opener because of a sore right knee.

Good grief!

The Hawks are beating the 76ers 47-27.

Even with Embiid and Triple H ringing the Bell before the Game they are getting their asses kicked right now. The Defense looks lost right now it could get ugly if they don't play better in the 3rd Quarter.

I just saw the score on TV after I made the post. I'm surprised that the Hawks are pouncing on them this early. I do hope your team bounce back.

Yeah this game has been crazy so far.

Jason Kidd says he won't vie to fill Portland Trail Blazers' head-coaching vacancy

I hope he makes a similar statement about the Celtics.

I want Mark Jackson or Chauncy Billups.

Here's Trips bringing the bad juju.

Edit: Vid starts at around 7 seconds for some reason.

76ers making this a game late.
