Call me crazy, but I think the Sixers can take the Nets. They should matchup well with them. Nets have no answer for Embiid, and Simmons and Thybulle are good options to defend two of the Nets big 3. Tobias Harris is not a bad matchup against the Nets either.

You’re crazy.

Rude.

Why would you say such a thing.

The Nets are definitely vulnerable to the skilled big men.  it is why I thought Brooklyn would give them struggles and Giannis dominated them during the regular season and even game 1.  Not quite ready to give up on the Bucks, but if they lose the Sixers, with a healthy Embiid, absolutely could beat them as they won't stop Embiid and Simmons is one of the few players in the entire league that is both tall enough and quick enough to guard Durant anywhere on the floor.

Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I really do not enjoy watching Donovan Mitchell play basketball. He reminds me of that pickup player that won't stop shooting, but he gets it going sometimes so most people just assume he's one of the better players out there, but in reality, he's just a chucker who scores by the sheer mass of shots he puts up.

The Jazz are getting exposed. Can’t go far in the playoffs when your teams best player is a 6’1” guard. Mitchell is really being bothered by the Clippers size/length and he looks shorter than Rondo. Great regular season team, but Utah is not built for the postseason.

To be fair they're missing their 2nd best player and are relying on their 3rd best player to shoulder the bulk of the offensive load.

Jeepers these refs man.

Blind as.

Consecutive wrong calls.

Out of bounds wrong, then Kawhi catches his own airball.

They need to fix the horrible reffing.
