Yep and DWade turns into Father Prime when he plays the Sixers, gotta look out for him as well

Playoff Wade is just another beast in general man, thanks for reminding me haha. I'm prolly gonna write a series preview for my digital journalism class that'll be done either tonight or tomorrow. I'll make sure to post it here. With lotsssss of Heat bias lmao.

He'll be fine. When they go under his pick and rolls he just steamrolls to the basket. You can probably scheme for him a little better during a series, but with his passing ability I don't think his numbers will dip much at all, if any.

Philly might go to the Finals if Embiid is back for the 2nd round.

We've actually done a great job on Simmons when we've had all our guys. Winslow, JJ, and J-Rich have all gotten a piece of him and done extremely well, especially in the last 2 games vs. him. we can also hack the s--- out of him late in games, something that Spo has shown he's not afraid to do. there are a lot of ways you can stop a guy like Simmons, I mean we even did it against LeBron. We'll wait and see

also if the sixers go to the finals i will post a video of me eating my middle school football cleats. that is not even happening with a healthy embiid lol

Screen shotted lol

Philly's path to the finals would likely be Milwaukee, Boston, Cleveland. I know they're an inexperienced playoff team but that's not exactly am impossible feat especially considering how they've been rolling lately. Boston is banged up quite a bit anyways, and yes Bron can turn it up to another level in the playoffs but the Cavs defense has been consistently horrible all year, and their team is still a mess most of the time.

I've felt it was Bron's year to come out of the east basically every year I can remember in the past decade, but this year I'm a lot less confident in that. I'd give Philly or Boston a decent shot to win the east, probably as good a shot as the Cavs honestly. Still not sold on the Raptors, we'll see...at the very least at least the East is more interesting than it's been in past years where you knew the Heat or Cavs(whichever Bron was on) would pretty easily make the finals.

Idk looking at the box scores he's more or less done what he's done all season. Embiid did his thing too.

Why not? You can tell me inexperience but the Thunder made the Finals in 2011/12. Miami will be a tougher out than Boston or Milwaukee. They looked unstoppable against Cleveland without Joel as well. If you're asking me to pick I'd go with Cleveland, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Philly beats them.

Sad if the Bucks can’t beat this version of the C’s. Most ppl had projected them as the 3rd best team in the East outside of the Cavs and Celtics going into the year.

 

Apr 12, 2018

Should be top 4/5 minimum especially with Jabari back. No idea why they decided to fire Kidd halfway through the season.

 

Apr 12, 2018

Box score doesn't do it justice. We've done a great job on him, particularly at the end of games. I believe we were without JJ and maybe Winslow for a couple of them too. Like I said, I think Fultz has the opportunity to destroy us on the defensive end. He will prolly put the clamps on Dragic or J-Rich.

That Thunder team didn't have 2-3 rookies playing 35 minutes per night. Yea, they were young, but they weren't this young. I will agree that the Sixers do kinda have that 11-12 Thunder look/feel to them tho. I think they ultimately win the series, but if they make it to the Cavs, they will destroy them. I'm serious. With K-Love back, they are a different beast and have had a great end to the season that seems to be flying under the radar. Unlike the Raps who have all of a sudden struggled on D, will probably be without some bench guys (OG and FVV) and are looking like a possible 1-8 series loss. yes, i still believe in the wiz for some reason lol

I think Stevens can pull this series out in 6 unless Giannis goes 07 LeBron on them. Bucks are horrendous, it's not like they were just tanking last night against Philly to play Boston either. That beatdown cost them a pick. J-Kidd wasn't a great coach, but either is there interim guy apparently lol

 

Apr 12, 2018

and we are beating philly if embiid misses game 1. then we win the 2 at home and win it in 6. prediction... any other hot takes??? i have a few

Spurs take Warriors to 7 w/ Kawhi healthy

Rockets don't make the WCF

Raptors lose in first round

 

Apr 12, 2018

I mean KD and Russ were 22/23 and that team probably wasn't as deep as the Sixers are, although obviously they had better top end talent.

 

Apr 12, 2018

they still had some experience tho... going up against that Laker team the year prior I believe, and that team had 3 future MVPs. i don't think the deepness of the teams really matter that much either, with rotations being shortened up in the playoffs... that's also why i think the raptors are a little overrated. yea, their bench is amazing, but how many minutes are they gonna be getting to blow other teams out when their starts are playing 40min a night?

 

Apr 12, 2018

I saw Blazers/Pelicans game 7 would fall on one of my days off, was thinking of getting tickets just in case..would be cool to see Lillard and Anthony Davis in a huge game 7, plus the blazers fans here are nuts and it'd be fun.

You guys think there's a decent shot that series goes 7? I'm leaning towards no tbh, but I mean it's not too unlikely either..I'd guess probably Blazers in 6 but really not sure, tough to say.

 

Apr 14, 2018

Thunder 76ers or Thunder Cavs finals. I take thunder in both.

 

Apr 14, 2018

An unbiased take

 

Apr 14, 2018

Kawhi Leonard is a hoe

 

Apr 14, 2018

JaVale McGee will be the finals MVP this year btw

 

Apr 14, 2018

I'll give the snake (Bryan Coleangelo) some credit..... The Illyasova and Belinelli pick ups were crucial.
