2021-2022 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

Bobby Portis' player option is 4.5 mill next season.

Playing so well gotta think he gonna cash out and get a long term raise with another team.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Who goes the farthest in the playoffs, Memphis or the Cavs?

Depending on the health of a few teams out West....

I'd probably take Cleveland.

I'm not even talking about the LA teams.

Healthy Dallas and Denver could give the Grizz Hell in a 1st round matchup.

Both are 1st round outs probably.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm going Memphis.

Unless Cleveland get a top 2 seed, who exactly are they beating 4 of 7 assuming teams are healthy?

I guess Charlotte, Boston, and possibly the Hawks. I wouldn't take them against anyone else

Yeah, gun to my head who wins?

Memphis.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I still think Memphis is legit but if they were to play Dallas, Luka vs Ja, it’s hard to bet against Luka. Memphis can beat anyone in the West right now but gonna be hard to beat the top 2 in a long series

 

[DJ Fieri]

Fuck, the EC is a tight race.

1.5 games "separates" the top 5 teams.

4.5 separates the top 6.

Silly, funny Shaq is the best Shaq.

“Hey, true story, I promise you. I went to every zoo in the world. I’ve been to every zoo in the world. And every time I go to the gorilla section, they look at me like, ‘Hey man, where your fur at?’ Nah, for real, for real. That’s how they look at me. And then they also look at me like, ‘Hey, what am I doing in here and you out there?’ Then they always go crazy when they see me outside. I promise you. I promise you.”

The Heat, Sixers, Bulls, Bucks, and Nets (with KD) will all beat the Cvavs in a best of 7

So do the Raptors

So do the Raptors

I'm really hoping this is the matchup.

This would be a fun 1st round series.

Fun but not hoping for it

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah, as good a season as they have had I don't see the Cavs beating any of the top 6 teams. They could win a game or 2 but no way they win a series.......vs the Raps? That could go the max but I'd take the Raps.

Having said that, this has been a great season for them and they ahead of schedule. The playoffs are just a different animal.

Who would you want, Charlotte?

No way huh? LOL I disagree but they have a little bit of everything, homecourt will help. Of course they are a young team but they have more than no chance. Most of these matchups are toss-ups other than a BKN team playing well, MIL, MIA.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Who would you want, Charlotte?

Charlotte would be best case for Cavs. Still would be tough though, unless of course NY or WAS slip in.

 

[trojanfan12]

I agree with most that the Cavs are unlikely to get out of the first round. But I also don't think other teams should sleep on them.

They're a young team that seems to genuinely like playing together. Those kinds of teams can be dangerous in the playoffs because they are too young to know what they don't know.

If you fall to.4 or 5, that would be a tough matchup against Philly.

I see the standings out East shifting a lot in the next 25 games.

I don't think we will have a clear picture until the last week of the Season.

Matchups matter more out East.

I don't care who gets the 7th and 8th seed in the West.

As currently constructed, those teams are going home in 6 against the Dubs or Suns.

When its all said and done

Who goes down as a bigger bum Russ or Harden?

Same for Memphis.

Love and Rondo are the only ones with a lot of playoff experience.

If neither win a ring, Russ at least has the triple double record working in his favor.

Harden. Russ has his flaws, but no one has ever accused him of quitting on his team.
