I don’t care. We cemented in the top 5. We can’t catch y’all in the standings. Are y’all goin even keep the pick? Or trade it to get Dame some more help

I think it’s 50/ 50

Ironically, Bulls vs Heat would probably be the most beneficial 2nd 1st round series for both ball clubs

Avoid the pure superstar fukkery and both team’s can survive the other’s strengths i.e. Bulls have the best closure in the series (DeRozen) but Lowry/Butler are great defenders to have... whereas Bam is the best big but he may not completely destroy Vucevic and TThomas like Giannis or Embiid would.

Herro is a great microwave scorer off the bench but Caruso/Ball are great defenders to have, etc

A month later, and i still stand by this

MIA's next L will drop them to a 4/5 matchup with yall, their next 3 games are SAC, BOS, CHI.

Lowry fukked up going to Miami and Riley messed up giving Butler that deal.

I was telling the Miami Flamer fans that they are benefiting from outworking and outscheming teams in the regular season.

I always thought things would look different for them against teams that are locked in and only preparing for them in a series setting. Out of all the top teams in the EAST, with the intensity amplified in the Playoffs, they have the weakest bunch when it comes to getting buckets.

Bulls in 6

Closer than it had any reason to be

The bucks team are easily an overhyped team this year

They're not overhyped as they aren't treating the regular season with much care. It's understandable given they're coming off a 'ship, as most teams typically do in the season after. The problem for them is, are they going to be able to flick the switch when the postseason hits with all the competition out East.

It almost feels like any team can beat any team in the East. I've never seen a conference this wide open before. The only team I'd count out is the Cavs (that's if they do make it), otherwise, any of the other teams can make the Finals.

That person who bet 100 on the Lakers making the Finals, would've been better off putting that hail mary bag on MEM.

PHX should win the West but if anything goes wrong with them, my nygga @holidayinn21 might be talkin big shyt in June

this game was actually impressive. Durant and Kyrie didn’t have to play god mode and the nets took their foot off the brake for the entire 4th and still won by 20.


This is a statement game if you ask me and no I don’t believe that any of these teams are tanking to avoid a team that they will most likely see in the playoffs regardless

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It's paper, scissors, rock situation with the Suns, Warriors and Grizzlies. One of them has to hope they don't play their counter.

I read somewhere that their defense this year is worse too maybe that’s a result of just coasting.


My thing is I’m interested in the bucks having a round 2 with the nets and Kyrie actually being there for the entire series

PHI and BOS will end up with the top 2 seeds... the order just depends on if PHI can win 1 or both of their next 2 games (PHX, MIL).. after that their remaining schedule is a cake walk. BOS has a tougher schedule but they're also playing better ball than PHI / anyone else.

Whereas it feels like BK wouldn't have to worry about that worst case play-in scenario vs Toronto... CLE is falling apart and is looking like they'll be BK's play-in round appetizer, altho it's all respect to what CLE was able to accomplish before inexperience, injuries, etc pulled the rug from under them.
