Sixers should've sat Embiid last night. At this point, bump the major rewards.

I think Haliburton can only miss 3 games before he's ineligible for major rewards. Which would mean he'll miss out on like $41M if he misses the All-NBA team

With all due respect to Mark Jackson, Jalen Brunson has been the best point guard the Knicks have had since Clyde. I'm slapping myself for saying the front office overpaid for him.

With all due respect to Mark Jackson he's not even close enough to bother with the "With all due respect to Mark Jackson" part lol.

The fact that we've turned 65 games into some unreasonable high standard for games played in a season is dumb af. If you were injured and/or missed games because you felt like it, that's how your season went. You were inherently less valuable and impactful as a result. Can't have it both ways. Can't miss games to protect your body from future injuries (and potential money lost later in your career), but then be mad because u lost out on these short-term bonuses that are all about current season performance.

3rd seed might be ours for the taking, wild to see.

I can agree with that. If Embiid only plays 60-64 games and plays it at the level has been, I honestly wouldn't be upset if he doesn't get any major rewards. Mainly because the rules are the rules and the requirements were set. It'll be unfortunate, but those were the guidelines. Plus my main concern is him being healthy for playoffs
