I went from the Knicks are the sleeper pick in the conference to them getting hot and being the 2 seed

Their lineup with Brunson and OG just destroys people

It’s the Death Star lineup
Sixers need to guard Brunson one on one and not leave the others on the court for open shots. Divencenzo, OG, Hart, all these guys are no better than 4th options.

Rozier was out. Butler tweaked his knee. Bam pusses out offensively in most Embiid head to heads. Nobody left to take shots. They had no point guard so they didn’t really run a ton of offense. Butler was so hampered by the knee that the Sixers just used Maxey’s speed to chase him around and deny him the touch.

If the Heat had somebody to run offense it might have been difficult. All it seemed like they were doing was clear out ball for Herro.

Thanks. A post dinner food coma made me miss the game lol.

The Atlanta Hawks are (simply put) a bad defensive team.

That's why they're heading to Cancun right now.

They were 10 games under .500. Only the play in addition gave them a glimmer of playoff importance.

Probably get the title in ‘15 anyway.

‘16 Warriors were extremely banged up too.

And the injuries that post cited from 2022?

Denver was their first round opponent. They weren’t a relevant contender that year. Post is acting like it was the best team GS beat.

Memphis was second round.

I can guarantee there is a long list of NBA champs with easier first and 2nd round matchups than those.
Well I agree with pretty much everything and he is still a generational player and the best shooter easily…Lebron took them to a tough 6 games series without Kyrie and Love. I would think even if Kyrie doesn’t get injured in game one they have a far greater chance and it goes 7. I don’t like the odds for GS bc Kyrie was unstoppable vs GS most of those years

If I was Preston shumpert I would’ve simply hit that open 3 at the end of regulation and not broke kyrie….

If they land Giannis while keeping Brunson and OG....they would be really scary.

Meh, would it make a ripple in this year's draft?

Toronto would lose their pick

I thought Utah was in danger of losing their pick but they’re not they get behind enough teams post deadline

They should’ve traded clarkson a year ago…idk what Danny is doing

I just meant in terms of the talent expected to be available.

Jimmy out for several weeks

That's a wrap folks
Damn... that sucks.

Assuming Miami can sneak by the Bulls... I'd rather face them at full strength... it'd honestly be a great opportunity for the Celtics to exorcise that demon, because Miami has largely gotten the better of us in recent years.
