2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[celticinorlando]

It’s going to be Miami in round 1. Let’s get it 

Most likely. Unless the bulls or hawks can dismiss them once and for all.

This does not sound good:

Doc Rivers on the concern level with Giannis Antetokounmpo's left calf injury:

"That's a good question. High. But he's Giannis. I think everyone probably feels the same way as I do right now. We're just going hope for the best."

They're doomed, if they are not already with Fraud Rivers on the sidelines.

Hope Giannis recovers though.

At halftime, the Clips up on the Suns 66-33 at halftime.

76ers on a roll with 6-straight wins.

Heat outlasted Hawks in 2OT. Pacers smoked Raptors.

Window's getting tight for the 6-8 bracket. Well, window's getting tight for particularly the 2-6 seeds. as they're all basically 1-2 games within each other.

All the discussion about the play-in spots has revolved around the Pacers, Sixers and Heat.  But the Cavs and especially the Magic could drop out of the top 6.  The Magic have a game against the Sixers and two games against the Bucks.  The Cavs Pacers play each other so that's a guaranteed loss for one of them.  Both the Sixers and Miami hold the tie break over the Magic.  Miami holds the tie break over the Cavs.  Not sure about the Sixers Cavs tie break since they split the series 2-2.  So its possible the Sixers and Heat could both jump into the top 6.

Did you catch the lakers? Definitely hear when they beat the raptors, nets or wizards. Not a peep when they play solid or good teams. Hope all is good.

So the Lakers are 9th in the West with 45 wins.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee is 2nd in the East with 48 wins.

The lakers have had the best health from their top 4 players of any team in the league. Especially insane when you consider Lebron is 39 and Davis is nicknamed street clothes. They have been this team all year. Their odds of finals are now even higher +2500.

lol absolutely enthusiastic tp for most misleading stat of the season (even if accurate). I’m not even being sarcastic, that’s some top level stuff. But for full picture The 7 seed in the east, the 76ers  has 45 wins. The 7 seed in the west has 46 wins. lol. All the teams have the same records.

thank god the sixers went on a win streak. not that i'm not confident in beating them. but who wants a round 1 slug fest. this is a #3 seed masquerading as a #7 because of Embiids injury

looking like sixers will face milwaukee....and dont be surprised if they upset them..so we hopefully would only have to face one of the two.

76ers look more like a true #2 seed masking on the 7-8 seed. They are easily the second best team in the East with a healthy Embiid, Maxey, Oubre etc. They have also improved in the coaching department, so they are more respected in that regard now than they were when they had Brett Brown and Doc Rivers.

I agree with you in this for sure. Tp. I am a lot less confident of dominating them in last playoffs cause of the coaching upgrade. Brown was pretty awful as a head coach (good developmental guy). I don’t believe he has even gotten an interview since Philly. We all know docs career since leaving Boston. That being said this team does still probably have a bit less top end talent than say last year when harden could still win them a game or two.

If the sixers get the bucks in round one, they win that series in 6 games.

Heat are really going to be pushed in the play in by the bulls or hawks. It would not surprise me to see Miami miss the playoffs.
