If celtics win tmr then there will be a tie for 1st in the east

 

[bksballer89]

127 points allowed tonight but their defense is not a concern lol

 

[Black Adam]

paging Uncle Drew? Wall dropped 37 on ya...

just sayin'...

 

[Bolts]

Watching this Kansas game and I'm not impressed by Josh Jackon at all. Would not risk a top 3 pick on him

I'd still take him if the Kings had a chance to draft him. He's been stuck in foul trouble today, but wasn't impressive when he came back in. I don't think he's that much better than the other top SF prospects.

Its a charade.
Tristan is a phenominal perimeter defender.
All these teams are just getting lucky.

Yeah I wouldn't mind selecting him at 6 or after but top 3 pick? I'll pass

Can you guys imagine the long post we would have to read if Whiteside did this?

Gobert: Some Jazz players 'don't compete'

Utah has been bad since Wiggy told us how good they were.

Let's look at the remaining schedules for Cleveland and Boston. The top seed is no longer a lock for the Cavs.

CLE

AT SAS
AT CHI
VS PHI
VS INDY
VS ORL
AT BOS
Home and Home with Atlanta
AT Miami
VS TOR

BOS

VS MIA
VS MIL
VS ORL
AT NYK
VS CLE
AT ATL
AT CHA
VS BKLYN
VS Milwaukee

I got the Cavs at 7-3 and Boston at 8-1.

TBH Fultz is the only one I'm secure in saying is a top 3 pick(and 1st overall). There's 4 or 5 other guys who I think could deserve to go top 3, but it's not clear cut on who would be next.

I also have edge Celts.
Their head to head is must win for Cavs.
I dont see James resting much as poor as theyre playing but if he does, they could fall to 3.

This could work against the Heat.

Na they're not falling to 3. WSH is basically 4 losses behind them. Almost impossible to make up in the final 10 games and Cleveland schedule isn't that tough

He is the only coach who I see always using the injury excuse.

 

[bksballer89]

Sorry but even if you're missing a guy or 2, your defense is not supposed to be this bad.

I don't think guys like Kyle Korver, Kyrie, Love, and etc are magically are going to learn to play defense over the next 2 weeks

Wall>>>Kyrie

In what?

For sure unless they start resting Big 3.
I thought plan all season was to rest?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

In what?

Basketball and geography

Always.
Heat could be missing 5 players and Spoelstra would say we have enough.
