They don’t fear the Deer even when he’s healthy.
After that whole game ball fiasco, I was hoping to get this matchup.
Dame gonna be outta there if they get bounced.
Ah, the competitive sweep narrative.
I don’t know if anyone here remembers…
Well, maybe @tlance …
But one of the most entertaining sweeps in basketball was the Webber/Howard/Strickland Bullets/Wizards vs the Bulls.
Fantastic fucking sweep.
They are the 2011 Bulls.
Killing everyone in the regular Season.
Not quite ready to win it all
Similarly, they also deserve to have their young guy crowned MVP.
Hopefully, they won’t have their future derailed by injuries.
This would break NBA Twitter.
The offers would be flagrant fuckery.
Who could outbid OKC?

@thunderc
What’s your preference for a 1st round matchup?
I want to see Steph and Lebron make the postseason.
I just don’t want either of them to play the Thunder.
I would go, in this order…..
Pelicans, Kings, Dubs, Lakers.
OKC in 5 against the Pels, 6 against the Kings.
ETA: There ain’t...
I still have the Heat as my underdog to come out of the East.
But I got Embiid in a 1 game, winner takes all situation.
I’m actually afraid for the Celtics if they get the Heat 1st round.
As crazy as it sounds, outside of the Bucks, Minny, ….Boston would be the most vulnerable of the top 3...
