Pablo Torre dropped a lengthy interview with Oscar Schmidt and it's a lot of fun. Full of gems like "So I was talking to Senna..."

Oscar and Drazen carried Jordan-sized chips on their respective shoulders I'll tell you what. They got fired up and redirected them flames right out the fingertips.

Heat did us a solid tonight beating the Cavs. Let Giannis rest up tomorrow too.

Seeding is going to be really interesting this year. Embiid is back at practice, if he's back for the playoffs would be nice to avoid them in Round 1. 3 seed at least you know who you are playing before the play ins and we have nearly 0 chance of home court in the Finals anyways.

I still say let's get Miami, Philly, and Boston. Not ducking anything and ready to shut EVERYBODY up.

The rest of March is really big for Philly. 5 games against teams over .500, 4 of which are on the road, and they finish the month @ Toronto. If they can go 3-3 that'll probably be enough to keep the Bulls at arms length, but if they go 1-5 they're at real fear for falling into the 9-10 line. And the Hawks are a very flawed team that I don't think a lot of people would be scared of in a 7 game series. In a single game, they're the ultimate team that can beat anyone on a given night.

I'm fine with Magic, Cavs, Philly, and some random West team that had a few upsets. I just want Giannis to have a second ring and dont give a crap about anyone else.

Everyone lost their **** when Bledsoe just walked the ball instead of inbounding (for some reason, people didn't care as much when Jrue did it) but that at least happens in pick-up and practice. This is not even close to a natural basketball sequence and my brain just hurts looking at it.

It's not about "ducking." Would you rather play a 7 game grind it out series with our old injured roster or play a 5 or 6 game series where you get some rest? ECF and Finals will be tough no matter what, much rather take the less strenuous route to get there.

Harden said that he wanted to wake the team up a bit after a few minutes of coasting since they were up 20. :lol:

Celtics have a 6 game lead for overall #1 and a cupcake schedule. It will be interesting to see how they rest guys down the stretch. Sometimes you can give players too much time off, especially with a week between the end of the season and their first playoff game.

Brandon Ingrams going to be missing some time. The knee should not bend that way.

I'm hopeful that won't be as bad as it looks. That's like the Giannis injury. However, as Ingram is a human, not a Greek God, he'll probably miss a few weeks.

It also could be an ACL. Obviously crossing everything that it isn't.

Someone said (probably reddit) that he will have some of the most hilarious/bizarre plays as career highlights for a HOF when he's done.

I understand the value in that. It'd be a lot more satisfying to beat those 3 teams though.

Same as Giannis IIRC
