2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Who]

Orlando need a guard in there instead of J Isaac. That big lineup for ORL has struggled for them all season. They need to play that young SG Caleb Houstan. He is a guy who can shoot.

Fultz cannot shoot. C Anthony is getting killed by Mobley in switches. Gary Harris is injured. The coach needs to trust Houstan.

Giannis Antetokounmpo acknowledged that, despite trying to push himself to be available to the Bucks for the playoffs, he was "not close" to returning from his strained left calf, adding that he could run at about 30-40%.

well hopefully Giannis is healed up by next season.  Would have not been worth it to try to play.

I think that strain was worse than they were letting on, as they didn’t release a grade at all. But for over a week after the injury he was still limping around. KP didn’t seem to be limping or even using the boot after two days, so hopefully that means it’s not as serious.

[Who]

D Mitchell = 28pts in 24min. 13-20 FGA.

[Neurotic Guy]

Mitchell hurt?

[celticinorlando]

Mitchell hurt?

Yes. Knee isn’t right. He’s gutting it out but it is really hurting his defense

[Moranis]

Not sure either team can score enough to beat Boston 4 times

Yeah neither team super impressive so far.   If Allen remains out for the Cavs I think I would probably want them vs the Magic.   If Allen is back it is a toss up to me.  I have no idea who to root for.

Yeah, if J Allen is out. That negates the loss of Porzingis.

Makes BOS the overwhelming favourite again.

Boston was already the overwhelming favorite.

No, they are not.

Yes they are.  As of this moment, Boston is still a fairly heavy favorite to win the title at +130.  Denver is next at +245.  Orlando has the worst odds at +40000 and the Cavs are 3rd worst at +5500.  In other words, the Celtics are the overwhelming favorite to not only beat Cleveland or Orlando but to also beat the Knicks or Pacers in the ECF.  Those are the current as of this exact moment odds on Draftkings. 

[Who]

Orlando should bring in Mo Wagner.

Try to give their offense a boost.

[celticinorlando]

I think Cleveland would get Boston’s attention more than Orlando

Not sure Cleveland would like guarding Boston. Small guards. Struss can’t guard.

Allen isn’t going to be near 100 percent.

Mobley can be bullied.

Morris and Thompson are ancient

[Who]

Magic need offense. Coach goes with M Fultz.

Bad decision.

Edit: Fultz scores a bucket and sets up two threes. What do I know.

[celticinorlando]

Mitchell and that gimpy knee

Boston was already the overwhelming favorite.

If that Cavs team is fully healthy I would call Boston solid favorites. Not overwhelming. But C's should still easily beat them in 5 or 6, if it goes 7 something went wrong or they got in their own way.

[Who]

Mobley only 3pts 3reb. Playing great D though.

[celticinorlando]

Get past Mitchell and garland there is no one on the cavs that concerns me offensively.

[CelticSooner]

Wagner is annoying.

[celticinorlando]

Boston should beat both these teams in 5
