Heat have a Jimmy and Bam. We don’t have that. Trae can definitely elevate his game offensively but those guys got it done b/c they are absolute monsters on D. We don’t have the ability to do that on the wings and also score as effectively

I think we would have a chance of winning 1-2 games but if either of those series went past 5 games I’d be legitimately stunned
Woah man 5 games? The heat aren't some juggernaut. Herro and duncan robinson have fallen off a cliff.

De'andre hunter is a wing that can play both sides efficiently. Bogi is a handful, you think jimmy guarding him?

I think we matchup just fine. Outside of the top 3 teams, nobody is beating us in 5 games. Not the knicks not the celtics.

No team in the east is close to as deep as we are. Nobody has our combination of 3pt shooting and rim protection.

Fresh you my guy but GTFOH :mjlol:

You don’t seriously believe we beating those teams 4 times in 7 games with no home court even at full strength

that's something we literally haven't seen this season. Even when we had pretty much everybody on the court, our coach was suffering from chronic bytchassness :francis:

there's a limit to what we can accomplish, but none of us truly know what that is yet :manny:

I think you may have missed what I was saying. I was saying we could go 5-6 games against MIL or Philly this year. But I was arguing why we wouldn’t matchup vs MIL as well as Miami did against them last year. This year the Heat would be a toss up series for us. Same with BOS, NY, CHA

I do worry about having a team full of playoff rookies and having lackluster front court depth. Plus this roster is gonna shrink come playoff time...backup PG, backup C, Gallo on D could get dicey against the other elite teams backups

Oh ok I agree there. I do think we have the vets to offset the youth tho. We've closed out games recently with lou, gallo, bogi, and capela on the court in the 4th and it's worked out. Snell is a solid vet that played for the bucks last year too.

Put it like this, we gotta get the 4th or 5th seed for me to be comfortable with our odds in the 1st round. We finish 6th - 8th, then we can pretty much just say this is the year for the youngsters to get experience against the top 3 seeds.

Only way we break thru that ceiling this year is if we get healthy AND one or two of our young guys have a herro or robinson bubble type run.
