if Embiid isn't at least 85% for this series there is a real chance the Hawks can steal it


agreed. but that has nothing to do with what we were talking about....

I feel like the Jazz and 76ers are almost guaranteed to fuck it up

the Nets are the only top dog I'm confident in their talent


I agree. But the Nets are so far ahead of everyone else and I also get both 1 seeds? Lock me in fam.

I hope the field (sans Clippers) wins though.

I like the Bucks over the Nets in this series, as i've said all along.

The Nets achilles will be their lack of size and front court presence. They have no rim protectors, they have no real size up front, and they don't play good defense. They hope to just have a shootout and win games like that, but against elite defenses like Milwaukee and Philly who both have lockdown defenders to slow them down enough it won't be that simple.

Milwaukee should abuse Brooklyn in the paint, that's for sure.

Seth Curry is a nice shooter but the problem is he gets abused defensively. I watched the Bucks switch onto him relentlessly and it was extremely effective. No reason to think the Nets/Bucks won't continue to exploit that weakness

Simmons is the opposite, great defender but goes complete ghost in the 4th quarter half court sets


Nothing more ironic than a Bucks fan talking about 4th quarter struggles of another team lmao.

Bucks are literally holding a well known reputation for being questionable in late game situations, because their best player can't be relied on and has to basically play the dunker spot off the ball while Middleton and Holiday make plays. I heard Tim Legler this morning on the radio talking about how often people bring up their questionable late game moments because their franchise player can't be relied on in those moments due to his major limitations despite being a back-to-back MVP.

Suns vs Mavericks = WCF
Winner will play the Nets in the finals.
If Chris Paul doesn’t get injured, then most likely Suns vs Nets.


too easy to see that 2-0 comeback happening. Mavericks are way too reliant on hero ball right now

but thats exactly what you did. You can't have it both ways

Ben averaged:
15 ppg
9 assists
10 rebounds
+81 for the series

This series wasn't even a competition and the Sixers knew it (just like we all did). They won all 4 games by an average of 20 points. Its not like there was any sense of urgency.


Simmons was a liability on the offensive end during crunch time. Really bad quality for a #2 title contending piece.

Embiid had about as good of a game as you could expect as well.

Not really. Clippers failed before in game 7. They had to play perfect to win this one. It was a great series that could have gone either way.

Who comes out of the West?

I think its between Suns and Clippers. If Nuggets had Murray I'd pick them

Utah wins it all, I said it months before the playoffs started.

hey man how'd you feel about the Lions draft? I thought they really killed it this year. the books have Lions at over/under 5 wins and I feel they're better than that. what are your thoughts?
