Like to normal

smoky fable
#

Should be an opponent they should handle, but they lost to the kings...

hazy jacinth
#

Man

#

Drummond might’ve been a bad signing

tall temple
hazy jacinth
#

Clogging up the paint and shit

#

AD needs to play C

smoky fable
#

Gasol was a wasted signing

hazy jacinth
#

Fr

celest zephyr
#

It was literally Lebron's first game, I wouldn't think too deeply about that Kings game

tall temple
#

yeah, drummond is kinda weird for them

#

hes not versatile at all

hazy jacinth
#

Lol

celest zephyr
#

Yeah, he is also

#

a liability on defense sometimes

#

refuses to run back

#

gets lazy

tall temple
#

yeah

#

like a really bad ben simmons

#

on offense

smoky fable
#

Has Danny green been good for you guys? @tall temple

celest zephyr
#

the issue is drummond thinks he's like 10 times better than what he actually is

smoky fable
#

Know Seth curry has been solid

tall temple
#

yeah, he's been a blessing

celest zephyr
#

Yeah unfortunately

smoky fable
#

Good to hear

tall temple
#

embiid is getting doubled every possession

#

ugh

smoky fable
#

He took a lot of flak with the lakers

smoky fable
#

3 points...

tall temple
#

tobias is so bad tonight

smoky fable
#

Looks that way

tall temple
#

seth has been tremendous tonight

celest zephyr
#

He has been invisible

tall temple
#

5/5 from three

#

19 pts

celest zephyr
#

today

#

yeah no surprise from Seth

tall temple
#

terrible shot from patty mills

#

lmfao

celest zephyr
#

ben should take more shots tbh

tall temple
#

ben and tobi have been really bad tonight

#

and this is a much needed win

hazy jacinth
#

Giannis unlocking his 3pt shooting is scary

tall temple
#

we cannot lose

smoky fable
#

Spurs are desperate too

hazy jacinth
#

Xrz u got a stream link¿

celest zephyr
#

1 seed

#

oh is it still tight?

smoky fable
#

Oh wow the nets are close

celest zephyr
#

its tied

hazy jacinth
#

But the nets lost

#

Wow

celest zephyr
#

42-21 to 43-22

celest zephyr
#

ah my bad

#

I assumed you guys had a grip on 1st

#

with Nets recently

#

losing

#

2

tall temple
#

nets sold it so hard man

#

i think they were 2 games ahead

#

not even a week ago '

smoky fable
#

Injuries

#

I think?

tall temple
#

yep

smoky fable
#

Yeah

celest zephyr
#

Yeah I sometimes

#

completely

tall temple
#

harden injury sucks for them

honest umbra
#

injuries

celest zephyr
#

forget Harden is still not around

tall temple
#

but kd seems like he's back to normal

celest zephyr
#

when I watch them play

smoky fable
#

Nets seem scary to play. Even if your team plays at their best, they can still stay around.

tall temple
#

yeah

celest zephyr
#

its unreal that 2 of their best guys can go down and they still have a superstar playing

tall temple
#

i think philly is the best matchup for them though

celest zephyr
#

I keep saying man

#

this is the greatest team in NBA history

#

if they are healthy

#

anything less than a chip

#

is an utter disappointment

#

unless they are plagued by injuries during the play off run

tall temple
#

this team reminds me of the 2012 lakers team, but just better

celest zephyr
#

they haven't played a lot of games together

hazy jacinth
#

Where’s the nba streams link

celest zephyr
#

so like chemistry has to be some level of concern

hazy jacinth
celest zephyr
#

how many games have they played together?

hazy jacinth
#

Lembed

celest zephyr
#

like 8?

#

or 10?

hazy jacinth
#

Plus no dough

silk notch
#

Like 12

tall temple
#

SETHHHHHHHHHHH

celest zephyr
#

what is their record during those 12

tall temple
#

LETS FUCKING GO

celest zephyr
#

I know Harden has really solidified himself as a play maker when the 3 play

smoky fable
#

Still can’t believe Nash is the coach. Still remember his suns days.

celest zephyr
#

Nash as coach.. D'Antoni as assistant coach

#

that team man literally feels like

#

I am playing 2k myleague

tall temple
#

keldon johnson feels like he's the greatest player tonight

#

what the fuck man

celest zephyr
#

Considering Derozan is resting

smoky fable
#

Popovich always coaches his guys well

celest zephyr
#

this is kinda disappointing from Philly

#

his actual stats don't look good lol

tall temple
#

yeah he's been fucking clutch though

#

just hit a contested 3 over three people then put a layup up over embiid

#

OMG TISSE

#

WHAT A BLOCK

smoky fable
#

Has shake Milton played well for you guys?

tall temple
#

yeah, he's been good

smoky fable
#

Nice to hear

tall temple
#

sometimes he's inconsistent, but he's been good for the most part

smoky fable
#

Sixers trying to close this out with the ball in their possession?

#

Who takes the final shot? Embiid?

tall temple
#

🙏

smoky fable
#

Damn

#

That sucks

#

Just mentioned him too

hazy jacinth
#

Noooooooo

#

Fuck

smoky fable
#

Non contact injury too.

#

hidden rampart
#

You sure?

#

Alright

hazy jacinth
#

Yh thanks

tall temple
#

embiid making double contested fadeaways is just so amazing

smoky fable
#

Suns won so they’re back in the 1 seed, for now

hazy jacinth
#

Yayy

#

Cp3 W

#

Is everyone’s W

smoky fable
#

I had an argument with a Westbrook fan on who was the better player: CP3 or Westbrook.

hazy jacinth
#

Hmmm

tall temple
#

cp3 this season

#

just in terms of impcat

celest zephyr
#

wow the mavs lol

hazy jacinth
#

Cp has a greater impact

#

Yh

#

But idk

tall temple
#

phoenix almost choke that

smoky fable
#

That’s what I said

tall temple
#

they were up 15

hazy jacinth
#

If cp had to carry a team

smoky fable
hazy jacinth
#

And Russ had to

smoky fable
#

In the 4th

hazy jacinth
#

I think Russ might do better

#

Because he does a lot

#

By himself

#

But in terms of winning on good teams

tall temple
#

BRO

#

WHAT IS THAT CALL

hazy jacinth
#

Cp takes the cake

tall temple
#

like these refs man

celest zephyr
#

kinda wild the mavs are still in this game despite shooting abysmally

smoky fable
#

Nba refs have been terrible

hazy jacinth
#

Yes

#

Hmmm

#

Might be a foul

tall temple
#

it looks like johnson pushed off

hazy jacinth
#

It’s early OT so idk if it’s a bad call

#

Yh but it wasn’t extended fully

#

So it’s tricky

tall temple
#

it is a bad call

#

because this will be embiids 5th foul

hazy jacinth
#

Hmmmmm

smoky fable
#

That’s big

hazy jacinth
#

That is big

tall temple
#

LETS GOOOO

hazy jacinth
#

tall temple
#

hazy jacinth
#

smoky fable
#

They challenged it?

hazy jacinth
#

Or reversed

tall temple
#

yep

#

jump ball now

hazy jacinth
#

Okay no call makes sense

smoky fable
#

@proud coyote

hazy jacinth
#

Simmons better be careful

tall temple
#

idk what it is, but i love seeing players help someone get back up after they knock them to the ground (on accident of course)

hazy jacinth
#

Lol

#

Good sportsmanship

#

Embiid fouled

tall temple
#

OFFENSIVE FOUL

smoky fable
#

tall temple
#

BEN SIMMONS TAKING A CHARGE AGAIN

#

oh thats definitely a charge

celest zephyr
#

lowry scored over drummond lmaooo

tall temple
#

feet were set, he was out of the restricted area

hazy jacinth
#

Lonnie should’ve taken that all the way

tall temple
#

if they overturn this for some reason, im just, done with the refs

hazy jacinth
#

Ehhh Simmons leg came up a bit

tall temple
#

like that is such a bad call

#

unsuccessful, nice

hazy jacinth
#

Hmmm

tall temple
#

hes out of the restricted area, has his feet set, isn't in some unnatural position

hazy jacinth
#

Yh true

tall temple
#

TURNOVER NO WAYYYY

#

get the ball to embiid, drain the clock out, then take a shot

hazy jacinth
#

Rudy

Lmao

tall temple
#

celest zephyr
#

kuzma draining 3's ffs

Wtaf

smoky fable
#

honest umbra
#

LGM!

dim kettle
smoky fable
#

oh

#

wait

#

how'd they blow that against the phillies

dim kettle
#

Not a HR.

#

Aw

honest umbra
#

is that giraffeneck?

#

has some good yt vids

dim kettle
#

I just know him as another Met fan on YT.

smoky fable
honest umbra
#

he basically has some good opinions

#

whenever it doesnt involve the mets

#

on his videos

#

so mavericks lost and doncic is rlly close to being suspended 1 game

smoky fable
dim kettle
#

Yeah, I know. I watch so many baseball youtubers that they all blend in with each other.

honest umbra
#

wait

#

the game comes down to harper?

dim kettle
#

Yep.

#

I don't know what's better. Mets misery or Phillies misery.

#

Hard to choose.

honest umbra
#

mets misery

#

becuz they think theyre good

#

this szn

#

xd

dim kettle
#

Mets always think they're good till June. QueenKEKW

honest umbra
#

strikes out

dim kettle
#

LOL

honest umbra
#

harper never looked like he was hitting any of those

dim kettle
#

I can't wait for Philly salt on twitter.

#

They really paid him 26 million a year to stare down balls.

smoky fable
#

Who has the tie breaker with the Mavs, Blazers, and Lakers if Lakers lose tonight?

#

It'd be a three way tie

dim kettle
honest umbra
#

GOAT @tall temple

dim kettle
#

Too bad more times than not he's made out of glass.

honest umbra
#

glass can be ok

smoky fable
dim kettle
#

Injuries. A common trope in 6ers basketball.

honest umbra
#

lakers are such a pitiful team to watch rn

#

so much casualness in their play

#

no hustle

#

drummond used to average 13 rebounds, now gets rebounded by people 6 inches shorter than him

smoky fable
#

If they lose, they might be in trouble

honest umbra
#

lebron settling for long 3s

#

AD is playing average

#

caruso is a walking trash can

smoky fable
#

shroeder?

honest umbra
#

out of play today

#

health concerns

#

as soon as we get everyone back

#

the league decides one of our own cant play

#

its always something this szn

#

just show damn urgency, man

#

lakers down 13 at half despite being up 12 earlier

#

how the f are lakers number 1 rated defense lmaoooo

smoky fable
#

they are???

haughty moss
#

🤦🏽‍♂️

honest umbra
#

i cant remember the last time i saw them play defense

smoky fable
#

That seems wrong

haughty moss
#

Lousy effort so far

celest zephyr
#

come on raptors win

honest umbra
#

im pretty sure ive seen them take 70 points

#

more than any other team

#

legit lowry walked to the basket 4 straight times

#

hes like 45

#

and no contest whatsoever

celest zephyr
#

at the end of the quarter too many easy shots given up

smoky fable
#

Kyle Lowry with the classic you should have traded for me game.

dim kettle
#

Man, you sound like me watching the Tampa Bay Lightning games rn. Never that much urgency on the ice, playing down to teams like the fucking Red Wings, and turnovers everywhere.

celest zephyr
#

also both coming off of winning a championship

dim kettle
#

Yes, kinda how things work. QueenKEKW

smoky fable
dim kettle
#

I remember too.

celest zephyr
#

hopefully the raptors don't just throw the 4th quarter again

honest umbra
#

this team has lebron, davis, drummond, schroeder, harrell

#

not to mention kcp, kuzma, mclemore, morris

#

and cant win games

#

so much talent

#

where is it going

#

whats with the casualty

#

why do they put more effort into their IG statuses

celest zephyr
#

seems like a lot of we're so good that we don't need to try

honest umbra
#

last years team had a point to prove

#

less talented but dogs

#

if lakers led at the end of 3rd, they were undefeted 60-0 to the finals

#

too much talent, i never knew it could be a big problem

celest zephyr
#

the issue is when there's a lot of talented guys but not a lot of guys that care

#

also doesn't help when some of the guys have won and don't feel like dogs and/or got paid and don't care that much anymore

smoky fable
#

You think they might just be sleepwalking through the regular season?

honest umbra
#

100%

#

davis and drummond keep saying

smoky fable
#

Trying to turn it on during the playoffs

honest umbra
#

"nobody wanna face us in playoffs"

#

bro u need chemistry to turn it on

#

y'all played 2 games together, kings and raps

#

and got dogwatered on in both

smoky fable
#

I don't see them beating the Clippers

celest zephyr
#

yeah

honest umbra
#

not if its round 1

#

we need anyone but the clippers round 1

celest zephyr
#

can't really play well if guys don't care and build chemistry

honest umbra
#

if lakers meet clippers round 2 or wcf

#

then they will do well

#

but whoever lakers meet round 1

dim kettle
#

You can pretty much use this for the Lakers as well.

honest umbra
#

will win at least 2 games

smoky fable
#

I think the Nuggets are still dangerous too. Even without Murray

honest umbra
#

id prefer to face the nuggets

#

i think we match well

#

jokic is amazing but he cant abuse davis/drummond/harrell at the same time

#

michael porter is good but he isnt ready for lebron

#

plus they lost grant

#

so im hoping we stay 6th seed

celest zephyr
#

gordon is doing a decent job of replacing that

#

might still get the clippers even with the 6th seed

dim kettle
#

It's nice to see Gordon on a real team for once in his life.

smoky fable
celest zephyr
#

too close right now to tell

#

i think its the mavs honestly

honest umbra
#

blazers on a road trip and won 4 of the 6 (have to play 2 more)

celest zephyr
#

the trailblazers are on a roll

honest umbra
#

lakers at home losing to kings and raps

#

who y'all got money on?

#

lmao

celest zephyr
#

and the mavs are just too inconsistent

honest umbra
#

lakers might drop honestly

smoky fable
honest umbra
#

yea but they beat the nets AND celtics

celest zephyr
#

they are playing better though

honest umbra
#

so like theyre beating the tough schedule

#

while lakers tough schedule is later on

celest zephyr
#

the kings and raptors are "soft" teams based on record

honest umbra
#

exactly

dim kettle
honest umbra
#

these are the "easy" teams lakers should be beating rn

#

whereas blazers are beating tough teams

#

im glad kings at least beat the mavs today too but still

#

whos 8th seed again?

celest zephyr
#

idk don't trust the mavs besides luka to perform

#

memphis

honest umbra
#

ok well

#

im not scared of them

#

but still lol

#

1 game playoffs scare anyone

celest zephyr
#

the issue also is the lakers weren't great in their first games against houston and portland

smoky fable
dim kettle
#

The last time I felt like their was a big upset in the NBA playoffs was when the 8th seed Warriors beat the Mavs in like 07 I think.

smoky fable
#

Don Nelson Warriors beating the Mavs then

honest umbra
#

thats why im saying

#

whoever gets lakers first round

#

will win a few games

#

they gonna catch lagging legs

smoky fable
#

I still remember that year. I hate Horry for hip checking nash.

honest umbra
#

burned assignments

#

no offense

smoky fable
#

Drummond fell off hard though. Yeesh

dim kettle
#

Usually it should be fortunate that the problems are happening now and not during the playoffs.

#

Or else you'll be the 62 win Lightning and not win a single game in the first round! No, I don't like talking about it still.

celest zephyr
#

that will always be memeable

smoky fable
#

oh yeah they got swept by the Blue Jackets.

#

HAHAHA

dim kettle
#

There's never gonna be a worse moment as a sports fan as that playoff series.

celest zephyr
#

its like the maple leafs losing to a Zamboni driver

dim kettle
#

Every time I remember it. All I hear is UrinatingTree saying "62 TwO WiN SeAsOn. ArT RoSs & HaRt WiNnING FoRwARD! VeZiNa TrOphY WinNEr, NoRrIs TrOphY WinNEr. LiGhTiNiNg in ThReE"!

dim kettle
smoky fable
#

celest zephyr

#

dim kettle
smoky fable
#

celest zephyr
#

dim kettle
#

I wanted them to blow it up last season.

smoky fable
#

15 point game

celest zephyr
#

yeah they should have blown it up earlier

dim kettle
#

You can see how angry and distraught I was at the Bolts that I thought watching the Magic was a better option.

smoky fable
#

damn

haughty moss
smoky fable
#

oh my goodness

#

Lowry with the 3 and 1

dim kettle
#

I always love 3 pt shot with a foul.

#

And that's 4 points.

smoky fable
#

Man, Lakers look terrible

haughty moss
dim kettle
#

It's so strange watching the Sportnet feed of the Raps game through Bally Sports Sun.

smoky fable
#

Seems off

dim kettle
#

Bally Sports suck. Yesterday's Bolts game. Literally most of the 2nd period the scoreboard and time were nowhere to be seen.

smoky fable
#

#

at all

dim kettle
smoky fable
dim kettle
#

Thanks, very big one.

celest zephyr

celest zephyr
#

smoky fable
#

Misworded that

dim kettle
#

The hell was that shot? That fell like a brick.

celest zephyr
#

#

that was ugly

smoky fable
#

stanley johnson is with the Raptors too huh.

#

12 point game

celest zephyr
#

yeah

#

was last year also

dim kettle
#

It's funny to think the Raps were NBA Champions 2 seasons ago.

#

Look at that defense from the Raps.

smoky fable
#

raptors starting to blow it...

#

But Lowry helps out'

dim kettle
#

Lowry is just carrying them rn.

#

Umm. Raps, what are you doing?

celest zephyr
#

smoky fable
#

#

Drummond might have travelled

#

But what was that

dim kettle
#

The Raps doing the choking before the Leafs do it.

celest zephyr

Oh boy

Oh booooooy

smoky fable
#

dim kettle
#

Geez.

smoky fable
#

Heard that on the broadcast

dim kettle
#

Age is catching up with Lebron, unfortunately.

honest umbra
#

Lebron has been an iron man for so long without any long injuries

smoky fable
#

Father time is undefeated

honest umbra
#

But all those minutes played may be piling up now

#

He has fought Father Time for so long

smoky fable

Drummond taking ft. not ideal

celest zephyr

yeah it's a wrap

#

I didn't get a chance to watch much of it last year. This play in tournament thing. Is it like the one and done bullshit of the wild card game in the MLB?

smoky fable
#

yeah

#

7 seed plays the 8 seed

#

9 seed plays the 10 seed

celest zephyr
#

well not quite

#

loser of 7/8 gets one more chance

#

against the winner of 9/10

smoky fable
#

oh, never mind. I was thinking of last season with it's play in.

dim kettle
#

I just read the rules of this play in tournament. And it's so fucking stupid. Seems like the NBA is forcing drama for teams who have a 98% chance of not even make it past the second round.

honest umbra
#

Except the Lakers which would be funny

#

How many of these games do lakers even win

native sonnet
#

TB,Pacers, Rockets, Pelicans are the most likely.

#

I think anyway.

honest umbra
#

Yea because blazers and knicks are playing their minds out

#

Nuggets clips and suns are top 3 of 4 seeds

#

And the other teams play tough too man, no easy wins

hazy jacinth
#

bro ad and drummond don't seem like it can work

celest zephyr
#

honestly it seems more like ad just isn't himself

#

he got sonned by siakam

#

and was pretty low effort on both ends

#

drummond was actually doing what he was supposed to: rebound, bang around in the paint and score a decent amount of points on okay efficency

hazy jacinth
#

damn

#

bron played like 27 mins

#

how was he looking

#

?

open sail
#

Ad is a role player rn

#

Prayers for Jaylen brown and Tatum gonna win rings in the future for sure

hazy jacinth
celest zephyr
#

bron looked fine

#

he had some plays where he backed down into the post and that was kinda just the raptors couldn't do anything with that

#

he definitely didn't look 100% though

#

he was kinda passive and didn't really do all that much

#

he also was kinda sloppy with some passes and plays

open sail
#

Yeah he needs to get more points

celest zephyr
#

Just some rust, I think you give him a couple more games and he will look fine

#

but him exiting the game is concerning

#

hopefully that isn't serious

#

Can't believe Lakers fell to 7th

#

it would be heart wrenching if they exited in the playin tournament 👀

tall temple
celest zephyr
#

the only issue is that well there's only that many games left

#

plus the fact that the lakers might rest him for a few games before the playoffs

#

Yeah the situation is really looking sticky

celest zephyr
tall temple
#

nah it was his sophmore

#

2018-2019 was when everyone on philly shined

#

he played spectacular last season as well

celest zephyr
#

Every Ben Simmons season is his rookie season ShanksTroll

tall temple
celest zephyr
#

No but in all seriousness, don't think he is DPOY

#

I think he had a better defensive season last year than he did this year

tall temple
#

really?

#

yeah same

celest zephyr
#

I think Rudy takes it again, it is shocking that Butler isn't even in the convo though

hazy jacinth
celest zephyr
#

Don't get me wrong it is really close between Simmons and Rudy

#

Like I would be fine with either winning tbh

tall temple
#

he's in first currently

#

rudy had that huge defensive slip up against minnesota

celest zephyr
#

Yeah true

dim kettle
celest zephyr
#

Hopefully Lebron is fine in time for the playin tournament

#

or before their chances of securing 6th are gone

#

Oh yikes, just confirmed that he is out for today's game

hazy jacinth
#

its not bron we need to worry bout

#

its AD

dim kettle
#

You know your league's fucked when you don't even have to build a good team to win a championship. The Lakers get Lebron and AD and suddenly they're champions.

celest zephyr
#

Yeah I mean

#

the greatest team in NBA history was literally formed

#

and people barely batted an eye since we are so normalized to it now

#

That Nets team is literally insane

#

(if healthy) let me emphasize on that

dim kettle
#

The players have too much control unfortunately. You can't do that much about it.

celest zephyr
# hazy jacinth its AD

Yeah AD has been disappointing since his return, I just hope its rust and him having to build chemistry with Drummond since Drummond clogs the paint now

#

I keep saying that Drummond is a liability defensively and now even offensively with how the recent games are going

hazy jacinth
#

yes

#

thank god for mclemore tho

celest zephyr
#

I mean I think this is the worst it can get

#

but I keep getting surprised

dim kettle
#

I don't watch much of the NBA since Hockey is always on around the same time. But I remember being really being invested in 2008-2010 time period where even when the Lakers were winning titles it still felt like everyone had a chance to win a title. But not anymore. It's not a healthy league when 90% of teams are fucked from the beginning.

and they're a half a game above lac

dim kettle
haughty moss
#

Longest 8 games remaining ever

tall temple
#

last month

#

but you get what i mean

celest zephyr
#

Scoring has dropped

#

but his defensive stats went up

#

lol its weird

tall temple
#

denver's past 10 games have been relatively easy for them

#

in terms of "who's the better team"

celest zephyr
#

They have a somewhat tough schedule ahead of them

#

Knicks, Jazz and Nets in a row

tall temple
#

embiid is second in PER

celest zephyr
#

but it gets easier after that

tall temple
#

didn't even know

celest zephyr
#

Yeah Jokic 1st, Embid 2nd and Giannis 3rd

tall temple
#

embiid could actually take 1st if he turns it up soon

celest zephyr
#

the 3 mvp canidates imo

tall temple
#

like, if he drops 50 against chicago again

#

we'll probably see him first

hazy jacinth
#

bro wtf AD should drop 40 tonight please

#

god this is an awful season

tall temple
#

injuries suck

celest zephyr
#

Yeah you guys got hit with some serious bad luck

tall temple
#

i wouldn't wish an achilles tear on my greatest foe

celest zephyr

nothing you can really do about it

tall temple

its the schedule to blame

#

and adam silver

haughty moss

yeah schedule was brutal

#

took it's toll

celest zephyr

Yeah think about

#

how many injuries

#

we had this season

#

it was brutal

open sail
#

i hate the play in tournament

celest zephyr

Technically injuries have slightly dropped

#

but we have way more stars injured this season

open sail

and injuries have been terrible

#

ye

and also refs are just trash

celest zephyr

They have always been trash, bad schedule or not AkainuLUL

Don't jinx it bro

i do the thing

where you unjinx yourself

poof

#

god forbid Embid were to get injured right before playoffs

that would be such a horrible way for the season to end for Philly

What are your predictions for conference finals for both East and West?

tall temple
#

utah/phoenix v lac or lal, philly v brooklyn or milwaukee

open sail
#

lakers and phoenix, nets and philly

celest zephyr
#

Yeah i can agree with that

#

unfortunately with what is happening to the Lakers right now

tall temple
#

if NY and ATL play against eachother in the first round, im praying atl wins

celest zephyr
#

I got Clippers and Utah in the West

tall temple
#

we just obliterated them

#

twice

celest zephyr
#

Philly and Brooklyn in East

haughty moss
#

philly/bklyn maybe lac/la

tall temple
#

im leaning more towards philly vs milwaukee

#

tbh

#

just, injuries

#

i have a feeling that they're just going to plague brooklyn

celest zephyr
#

True I am predicting with best case scenario for each team including a healthy Nets

haughty moss
#

I would put them but I just don't trust the supporting cast rn

#

we'll see

#

playoff a diff level

tall temple
#

if everything plays out how i want it to, brooklyn might not even get to the conference finals

#

that is, assuming harden or kds out or something

#

that side of the bracket is stacked

haughty moss
#

if harden healthy it might be curtains for the rest lol

tall temple
#

yeah

#

miami has to turn up

celest zephyr
#

Harden's situation is concerning though

#

especially getting re injured

tall temple
#

i think they're the only team on that side of the bracket (currently) that can stop both milwaukee and brooklyn

#

perfect matchups

#

like you can have bam on anyone

smoky fable
#

I don't see Miami going as far this year

haughty moss
#

just another team who's been dealing with injuries

celest zephyr
#

Yeah I was about to say

haughty moss
#

they've been getting better lately tho

celest zephyr
#

They are unfortunately plagued as well

#

actually

#

every team is plagued

#

to a degree

haughty moss
#

2 weeks left to rest up

celest zephyr
#

Harden comes back for final game of the season supposedly

haughty moss
#

unfortunately some still need to play due to seeding

#

ah that's good

celest zephyr
#

Nets want to play it cautious I assume

#

he could probably play sooner

tall temple
#

but you really dont want to risk him getting re-injured

celest zephyr
#

ye ofc

haughty moss
#

yup

bro please let the lakers win this game

zhaire smith trade was worth

that pick we got was part of the tobias trade

elton brand was making MOVES in the 2018-2019 season

smoky fable

I don't know if that pick was worth tobias harris

That heat pick. Too bad none of the highschoolers were able to be eligible then. That's why it got so much attention.

actually, looking back

when he first got here, i thought he would be a good role player for us

he averaged 8 pts on good enough 3pt shooting

then, the next year came

he literally didn't even make a three against boston in last seasons playoffs

#

tbf he only played 5 mpg
