tnx from changing title name.

OT: can't wait for playins to end so we can dig deep into predictions.
West is crazy entertaining. Dallas- Clippers will be series for ages, Suns- Wolves thing will be straight fire.

East is strange, from talent & injuries perpsective, two out of 3 best teams from East are in playins. Bucks are doomed without Giannis.

Oh and mad props to OKC that menaged to win West with starters being: 21,21,22,24 and 25 yeras old.

Hawks- Pacers game was crazy.
Turner had 31 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks in 22 min.

This is incorrect as far as I can tell. Orlando would not have been a 7-seed after the Bucks win.

If the Heat had won that game (and every other game's results were the same), Heat would have the same record as us with 47 wins, as well as Philly, and we lost both tiebreakers.

But what's done is done! Can do that for a lot of results.

Knicks knowing results and still playing to win in OT was so damn dumb. They will look like fools if they get bounced in first round.

Cavs tanking game was suprise, i did not see that comming.

Miami might give them the tougher series. I don't think Embiid's knee is going to hold up a whole series.

Oh look Embid might have come back early and now is reinjured as if he came back to quick....

47 wins was not enough to make the playoffs. There I said it.

Chi - Atl either are doing it right or very wrong.

Miami won more games then I thought.

Either Philly or Miami can give Boston / NY trouble, maybe even upset them.

Chet played all 82 games btw.

The whole thing about him being injury prone because of his thin frame I really feel is not going to come to fruition.

He literally lost an entire year due to injury.

His injury had zero to do with his physique. It was a v unfortunate and totally random accident that screwed up his foot. Lisfranc injury. Nasty.

Just like Embid wasn't potentially coming back too soon after injury?

Not sure if that was you or Soul that said that.

I am happy for Chet though. I hate for any player to be injured.

Like, its amazing how many "freak injuries" professional athletes have. It's almost like they are prone to pushing their body way past its natural limitations. or something.

It was the wet floor in the Crossover tournament.

Penalty @basketballrob - not asserting the incorrect grammar of "or something" when correcting someone.

5 yards penalty, fair point still made.

He slipped on a wet spot in a summer Pro-Am. Just bad luck. Nothing to do with him being thin or weak.

A wet floor took out Trevor Ariza too back in his time with us when he was really becoming a great player. Sucks. but definitely happy for Chet and even more happy for our very own Jonathan Isaac this season :clap:
