Has to be serious doubts about Cleveland making the playoffs now. Not sure they beat ATL/CHA in a win and in situation
Their “Super Bowl” was All Star weekend. They celebrated like they already did something. Young team plus injuries. The season is a grind. That’s why it’s so impressive what Memphis is doing.

Sixers best path now looks like the 1 seed
Catch Cavs/Hornets/Hawks
Then you catch fading Heat/Bulls winner
Then you let Nets/Boston/Bucks beat each other up.

That’s the path. Need a little luck

I can't see the Heat playing like this in the playoffs. It was 1 horrible week of basketball. They have a chance in the coming games to show that this was a blip on the radar

I've said it before but several years later i still can't get over what a shit coaching job Tom Izzo did with Jaren Jackson.

Dude is a beast. And was benched for much of their loss to Syracuse down the stretch. And not just benched...but benched for one of the million talentless hacky white dudes.

We’ll see. Butler hasn’t been shooting well. Boston Bucks have been hot and Sixers have the easiest schedule. This is so tight between these 4 I can see them being the 4 seed. Right now, I’d rather see Heat than Bucks or Boston.

I can’t stand Izzo. He just plays animal ball.

@raptorlife4 don't let him discourage you
Actually, I just said the other day his team is a tough matchup for the Sixers and they play Embiid better than just about anybody in the East when you look at the stats since Nurse became head coach. I’m actually complimenting his team in a post where the Sixers avoid the Raptors and I’m talking about best path for the Sixers getting out of the East.

Yep. And it's gotten worse over the years. Just looking at the box score from that Tourney game. JJ played 15 fucking minutes lol. Ben Carter 23. Matt McQuaid 21. Those two dudes combined for 4 rebounds and 7 points on 2 for 9 shooting while keeping JJ off.the floor. The only thing I can figure is Izzo was intentionally trying to tank JJ going pro.

I can see them beating the Celtics and pushing the Bucks to the limit. As a top 4 seed, this is who i prefer to play

CLE/ATL/CHA
Chicago



Toronto

























Brooklyn
Think my list would be identical

Which is why I wouldn't mind Miami finishing 4th if they can't finish 1st. I'm ok with playing any of the other 3 in round 2. Avoid Brooklyn at all cost until a possible CF should be the goal for all of the top 4

Someone needs to explain tanking to the Thunder. They are working on beating the Nuggets in Denver for the 2nd time in a month.
