First basket of the PG/Embiid era on a #TheCup court. It just means more.
Opening bucket for Philly. Elbow entry to Joel Embiid, flex action for Paul George with Kyle Lowry (!) as the screener.
Nifty!

Jaden McDaniels wants #TheCup: "When I see the court, I’m like, it’s just time to win the money. We ain’t been to Vegas one time. At least come in 1st, 2nd or 3rd we get a little bit of money. So, whichever one we come in, I’m cool – we get a little wire transfer."

Have to questions Giannis’s competitive drive if he joins the current champs. OKC should trade for him to see if he can get them over the hump and finally win #TheCup

If this doesn't change, the Lakers are letting me down, and they're letting Chief Cup Enthusiast Mike Trudell down, but most importantly, they're letting Michael Imperioli down. What a disgrace to #TheCup
