Looking good to start playoffs, just need everyone else up.

Hope Terry is healthy, this is his first stinker in a week or so, I believe


I think Terry will be good to go by then. The good thing is he's been on a heater lately heading into the post season.

That 2 seed up for grabs in that cluster of teams. Bucks have Boston next on their schedule which they'll probably lose. 2 games vs Orlando and a game vs OKC.

Spo needs to offer up his thinning hair as sacrifice to the gods and go with the Rick Carlisle dome. And then we will win the championship.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

We need to stay ahead of Philly record wise. That way we'll play them at home in the play in. Then again we've been better on the road. This team is frustrating lol.

I'll take the Bucks. We both sucked so its intriguing to see on which team would suck more.

yea same. We beat them last yr so it helps and they have Lillard now vs Jrue. Lillard is not good defensively, thats good for us.

Gladly take the Bucks. They've now lost 4 in a row. They're 1-6 last 7 games... they play magic twice, Boston, and thunder.

Those two magic bucks games will be fun. Magic could end up in 2nd place. Pretty exciting for Orlando and that franchise. Point is, the way the bucks have been playing, 2nd seed completely up for grabs.

Just want that 7 seed. :cry:

He's not at all, this is Jovic when you actually give him the ball instead of relegating him to a 5th option who stands in the corner who waits for crumbs. Jovic has heart/toughness/skills it just seems Miami fans/Spo are the only one's who don't realize it.

Why freeze him out for the entire 2nd quarter after he sat 6min in the first? (to play JJJ/Robinson?) He did a great job defending Hali/Siakam (did all his damage vs everyone not Bam/Jovic) when they tried to go at him.

Highsmith needs to start games (so Jimmy does not have to guard the best wing) and also be brought in to defend someone hot (TJ) he should have be guarding TJ after he made his first few.

I think you misunderstand me. I’m saying he’s playing incredibly well. He dropped 16 in a half, which is well above probably any half he’s played in the pros. I’ve been a Niko stan since we drafted him, so you’re having a go at the wrong guy Poku!

Not having a go at you I'm saying this is a normal game for him (not incredible) if you involve him in the game every game just about he has these spurts where he puts up 6-8 points in no time and this time Spo let him play more and actually let him be like a 3rd option rather than a distant 5th option. This is a normal Jovic game its just he got touches which is a rare thing.

Interesting enough, TJ's Per36 this year is just under 20 points and a tad under 11 assists with a .571% TS%.

I’m still extremely disappointed in this result lol. If we win and get 6 I genuinely believe we make the ECF without much worry. Now the 6th seed is gone and we have to win on the road in Philly to get 7, don’t like our chances there but we’ll see. I still believe we make the ECF without a doubt if we get 7 but if we’re 8 we’re likely cooked.

Just disappointed this long ass season has come to this when it shouldn’t have.
