Actually I just noticed, NYK lost as well so MIA is just 1.5 back of NYK in the standings, and both teams play each other next Wednesday in a game that also determines season tiebreaker. MIA has a legit chance at the 5 seed with NYK dropping to… the 6

More reason to make sure we get the 2 seed and not 3. NY and MIA are two teams I DO NOT want to face in the first round

I’m not that scared of Knicks in playoffs for whatever reason.

I’m not scared of the NYK, but that doesn’t mean I want the C’s to play them first round. Knicks play hard and are physical. Same goes for Miami.


Side note- IT4 is doing halftime analysis on NBA TV. Could be a good second act for him. Hope it works out.

If the Bucks win tomorrow night against the Nuggets, then I will fully concede the 1 seed to them. I know it's still unlikely anyways, but if we want a slim chance then we probably need to get to next Thursday's game 2 games behind them. Then beat MIL and hope a team like PHI beats them while BOS wins out and potentially gets the 1 seed on tiebreaker. That's the only real path I see.

But if MIL wins tomorrow, I don't see it happening. They'd be 3 games ahead of us and I do not see them losing to Indiana/Detroit next week. We're not making a 3-game difference up in a span of 1.5 weeks even if we beat them next Thursday night

The 2 seed to me feels very likely though compared to the 3. PHI's been red hot and Embiid's been the MVP, but their schedule gets very tough over the next week. We could also help our own cause by just beating them again in early April.

I really don’t like the Suns. Can’t stand Booker.

Mavs are currently out of the play-in. LOL

Nice job, Cuban!  :laugh:

Also, Tatum>Luka.

Somehow Kyrie has made Luka look mediocre

How anyone likes watching the flopping, foul grifter Embiid is beyond me. Going for his 21st free throw halfway through the fourth.

Embiid has more FTAs than the entire GSW team  ::)

He has 40 points and half of them are legit from FTs
