The way he was talking you would think Miami get swept. Dude came off as Miami isn't a good team and only beat Indy dude to injuries. Miami had a winning record against Milwaukee, Philly, & Indy for a reason. The same Indy team he made excuses beat the Lakers and Sixers in the bubble

Wiggy would blow his brains out on the spot...

Nah. He has no shame.

What about @buckalis?

He would either blow his brains out or instantly become a Heat fan.

I think the two probabilities are roughly equal.

Loooooooooooong ways away but as a typical casual NBA playoff viewer I'd be legit excited to watch a Celtics/Heat ECF

No matter what the matchups are it will be good.

But yeah, Boston more exciting than Toronto IMO. I think Miami and Milwaukee both have very compelling reasons to watch.

As of this minute, is it wrong to call Boston as the team to beat in the East?

Yes.

I think that would be vastly overrating the impact of the Heat winning 1 game.

Now I think Miami has a great chance to win the series. But Milwaukee is still the team the East goes through for now.

I understand the logic, but this season is unlike any other. Since the restart, the Bucks have not looked like the best team in the East.

If the Heat happens to win today, does ‘for now’ change?

My post said ‘as of this minute’.

Until the Bucks are beat, they are the team to beat.

So no.

Once you beat them 4 times, only then will someone else become the team to beat.

Maybe. I've never been convinced that they were the team to beat anyway. Outside of Giannis, their roster isn't that scary.,

I don't want to get too excited over the Heat's win, but unlike Orlando winning game 1 against the Bucks, I don't think the Heat's game 1 win was a fluke.

Definitely not a fluke.

My only point is that if Milwaukee was the team to beat at the start of the playoffs,

well, they haven’t been beaten yet.

Got to finish the job.

I see your point. I've just never really considered them the team to beat but I know they get that designation because of their regular season record.

But, I'm pretty sure I had the Celtics coming out of the East.

At least for game 1, the Heat look like they are "building a wall" defensively to keep Giannis out of the paint like the Raptors did last year and it looks like Giannis still doesn't know what to do about it.

I had the Bucks before the restart.

Celtics after.

And yeah, Giannis needs to figure out how to beat a good defense stacked against him. He will face it every playoff series for the rest of his career.

You have made a lot of outlandish statements about the bucks over the years
