So if all things held firm our next game is against Philly to determine the 7th or 8th seed?

Jovic's height is such a huge plus. He might not always come down with the rebound but he taps a lot of balls out to our guys. Even in defense on entry passes his hands are active poking away balls.

The 7th, if we lose then we'd have to play the winner of ATL/CHI for 8th. If we lost that as well then no playoffs at all.

So it took 5 years into the Jimmy/Bam/Herro build to add another scorer in Rozier and height at the 4 in Jovic. This is sad man.

I don't want to say it was wasted because we got to some Finals and ECF appearances, but we didn't maximize on what we had.

Nets are ass idc if Embiid is out or not, Hawks doing exactly what we did last time in Indy so can’t complain there, and the Magic are a tough team and swarming Dame and living with Portis torching them over Dame.

Is what it is. Kudos to those teams for not coasting 82 games out of a season and taking care of business today


All facts. I still think we beat Philly in a play-in game regardless so it is what it is.


I hope you’re right, if not it’s gonna get ugly

This Love injury is concerning. Hope it’s not something that lingers, as we need his steady contributions badly.

Not sad, that’s the game. Roster building is hard. The path forward is not always linear. We try and we get some things right and try again

Feels like Bucks are board watching and happy to lose to Magic now. Put Heat vs Philly to ensure Boston has to play one of us in round 1 so banged up in round 2 to play Bucks.

Yep we don't deserve the 6th seed that's just the honest truth.

If all the teams win that we we're hoping would lose, at least let the Bulls beat the Knicks. I do not want to face new york first round if we win our first play in game for the 2x7 matchup.

Not going to like going 46-36 and being a 8seed or not even making the PO is kind of crazy
