So what is the consensus for tonight? Heat or sixers?
I prefer the Heat lose and then have to deal with a streaky bulls or hawks in a one off.
For the sake of the Celtics path, 76ers need to win to do some damage (and get damaged) on the other side of the tough bracket.
I'll swallow the pill and potentially face the Heat. Just hope they don't have another magical run again...getting sick of the Heat.
I'm willing to bet the Heat aren't going to be a historical outlier for two years in the row. Celtics would roll them.
If Philly gets #7, I just hope somebody on that side of the bracket puts them down before the ECF, as one of my favorite joys as a hater is seeing the process yet again fail to advance past the 2nd round.
New York/Philly will be an enjoyable match up to watch, I see potential for a 7 game slug fest. Unsure of Giannis's health, I think the winner of New York/Philly would be the favorite to go to the ECF (assuming Embiid holds up).
