It's pretty much set in stone man. I want them to keep that energy and bring it here, if they won't I'll be hunting them down under each rock :lol:

Imagine if we could've had Philthy as a 3rd seed too... I would've came all over my phone :lol:

It's both if we being 100 here. Chicago will be easy worm up series and close, also Bucks have tendency to slow start their PO season. What really they took gamble on is Ben factor. If he will be able to go and give us solid 20-25 min... sigh they most likely will regret tanking that game to avoid us. Playing us in a first round would've been much safer bet.

I'm glad we got Saltics for worm ups. It'll give us sample what we need to improve on ( even though we know that already ) and what yo expect going forward. Spanking them and watching their clown ass fans cry themselves into a sleep will be joy to witness.

This team super confident and half ass ing it right now vs this wanna be's teams. At the end of the day I think they know what it is and know that Big Boy coming hungry to prove the world wrong. Being 4-5 wheel on offense will definitely take a lot of pressure out and give him extra boost on D. Some really forgotten who this is. That's 15/8/6 ++ first team shut down Linebacker who can play Safty/Corner at the same time.

Honestly this is the best case scenario for us.

Boston is not that scary. My #1 choice would be Miami. But I would rather face them than Milwaukee or Giannis. We basically have nobody to guard Embiid or Giannis.

Guarding Tatum will be tough. But at least we have guys that can matchup with him like Kess/KD/Claxton etc.

Also if Ben gets going this series he would be better prepared to play in Round 2 vs the Bucks. Where we would absolutely need him.

With all that being said I'm not convinced we make it out of the play in. Let alone compete with Boston in a series.

This team has been a joke all year. Until Nash is fired and Simmons/Harris are back I have no faith.

Nash broke MDB and HB :lol: . I was standing right there on the cliff right after ATL/CHA losses. This Ben news gave me a boost of confidence, add the fact we actually play good in games that have extra meaning to it and it's gravy here.

Not worried about this Saltic trash. BK in 4 maybe 5, will be pissed if they take us to 6.

We may never find out just how well these guys can match-up (and possibly limit) Tatum all game long if it takes only one switch on D to leave him with sCurry, Mills, or Dre instead... Everytime.

Overconfident. Very dangerous.

With Nash, we always find a way to lose.

How about one game at a time?

This.

We CAN beat all of these teams. The problem is, our style of play isn't sustainable. The offense doesn't generate good looks and teams know now to hard double KD and he'll commit turnovers.

On defense it really doesn't matter because we switch everything and over help leaving good shooters wide open.

It's hard to be confident at all. This team is not coached well at all.

The offense isn't great. But we have enough fire power to overcome Nash's mistakes.

The problem is our defensive scheme has been piss poor all year.

All we do is switch even though we don't have the right players to make it work. So it just leads to constant mismatches, which causes over helping and then constant wide open 3s.

If Nash could just play a basic defensive scheme and just get out of the way our defense would be league average at worst.

How can I have faith we can even win a play in game with this level of ineptitude?
