Bucks about ready to lose to the Grzzlies again

[celticsclay]

Man bucks gonna lose to grizzlies g leaguers an and Jaren Jackson . I really hope I don’t see another doc rivers has helped this team take from anyone media, here or anywhere. They could obviously still go on a playoff run but that was also possible with Griffin and would only happen because of lillard and Gianni’s, not coaching.

I think it is more likely that we don't play Miami or Philly than it is that we do.

OK, well I don't agree, but we are both just guessing.  In order for it not to be MIA or PHI, IND would have to drop back, lose one game and maybe another, or ATL or CHI would need to beat MIA or PHI, all possibilities.  Most likely though, for it to not be MIA or PHI, one or the other would need to lose two games.

If Miami beats Indiana in a few days, they will move to 6. I think they win that game and do just that.  They have the same amount of losses right now, it isn't like Miami has to pick up ground.  That moves Miami to 6 and I'd expect Philly to beat Indy in the play in.

That would be fine with me.  MIA at 6, PHI at 7, and IND (or whoever) at 8.  ORL and NYK at 4 & 5.  Would be a nice "bracket" for the Celtics.

Although honestly, I am not sure that IND would be any easier to beat than MIA.  I see them as approximately equally difficult to beat.

Miami's catching fire right now. They are THAT team. That team that's built to play spoilers in the playoffs. The New York Giants but in basketball.

I don't want Philly either with a healthy Embiid and a better coach in Nick Nurse.

Just give me one of Atlanta/Indy/Chicago and I'm good

Obvious Bucks tanking is obvious. They're ducking really hard to avoid the 76ers in round 1

Oh man, Milwaukee on the verge of back to back losses to the Wizards and Grizzlies.

Man do you even look beyond the last 2 games when you say a team is catching fire? You’ve done this like 8 times for teams playing .500 ball. Miami was 8-7 in march with 6 of the wins coming against the pistons, wizards, blazers and jazz (3 against the pistons alone). Like come on, you can keep this loosely fact based. By any objective measure in the world Miami is nowhere close to catching fire. They actually played some
Of their worst ball last month of the season.

Miami isn't doing jack this year. Beating Portland and Wash isn't impressive.

If they win their next game though they are on fire.

[Vermont Green]

Milwaukee didn’t have Middleton or Lillard. Still a bad loss.

[celticinorlando]

Man I kept thinking the bucks were going to turn it around. They just aren’t very good.’

Somebody alert Kevin O’Connor.

Grizzlies didn’t have smart, bane, morant and started Gregory Jackson, Scottie pippin junior and trey Jamison. It was an absolutely humiliating loss in a game they were favored to win by 13 points

That was his worst take of the year. They should bring back griffin.
