OKC stays atop the West. SGA with the clutch jumper over solid D. We'll just have to beat them Wednesday.

SGA with a huge shot and stop to win the game

Will Minnesota be roasted by Kendrik Perkins and other twits in the media after an embarrassing home loss to The Bulls ?

Seems to me that it's only us who have our title credentials called into question after a loss to a lower ranked opponent?

I prefer both those teams win and the Nuggets stay as the #3 seed.

The Nuggets are going to dominate the West in the playoffs and reach the finals no matter what. Most likely will repeat.

Nuggets will not repeat because the Celtics will defy logic.

Knicks weakened with all these injuries. None of the teams really that formidable to begin with. It would be a shame if BOS doesn't come out of the East tbh.

KP will have to figure out how to magically defend Jokic for that to happen.

The Bucks are VERY formidable.

I literally will quit the Celtics for a year if we lose to the Heat. And by that I mean, Joe should be fired.

I agree. However, as I've been saying the Heat are the only team other than Golden State that can stop the Celtics. JT and JB are not really able to overcome adversity in crunch time and both guys are more or less mentally owned by those two organizations. Both also have elite head coaches, Joe is nowhere close. Lets not forget random Heat scrubs shooting 3s from anywhere on the court and making them at will. Thats obviously not even mentioning Bam and Butler.

For the people saying "well what about the Bucks" I'd respond with, who is their head coach? Doc Rivers is not a threat to coach a team to the finals. The Heat are the real threat and I hope to christ they get the 5th or 6th seed so someone else can do the dirty work for the Celtics.

Not really. They are very well known chokers, they hired a coach who is also a well known choke artist. Sure, Giannis has a ring, but you can't sit here, compare rosters, and say that the Bucks have a roster thats even close to Boston. Then again, if Middleton isn't healthy we all know the games don't really count, so maybe the Bucks would win by forefit?

Absurd efficiency at his age and with his injury history.

That's why I said they will defy logic.

Who knows, they might not need to defend Jokic and the Celtics still win.

It's 27/29 for the Celtics. The two they've yet to beat -- Nuggets and Hornets (2 chances still).

If the Celtics lose all their remaining games and OKC lose one more game, it will only be the 4th time since 2000 that a season didn't have a 60-win team (or win % equivalent in a shortened season).

If the Sixers don't want to exit in the 1st round then they should avoid being the #8 seed.
