Toronto is no joke.

They overachieving right now and I'm ready to expose them. Saltics, Craptors and Heat are the teams I want to see first two rounds. One's you game plan for them they fluky as it gets.

I want no part of Toronto.

Saltics are just not that good. Heat are a pain to play but very reliant on Jimmy Butler.

Same. Unless we've got KD I want no parts of Toronto. They have a ton of depth.

Knicks fired Fizdale, but Mills and Perry need to be packing their bags too imo

The Knicks make everything awkward.

Look at Mills!! **** ing snake in the grass. They should have fired the man last night FFS

I warned Knick fans all summer that their front office was **** ing up with the roster and here we are.

I'm not worried about them because they can only do that during regular season. Come playoffs they will show their true colors.

Comon man. Toronto is coming off a Championship.

Even without Kawhi, Siakim, Van Vleet, Gasol are all big game players.

I would way rather play the Heat or Celtics.

Well we can agree to disagree here I guess. I'm pretty confident with us being better come playoffs. Will they be able to keep up with us scoring wise and Allen/DJ vs Ibaka/Gasol match ups can surprise you guys. I also want that Lowry vs Kyrie dueling to showcase who's better PG, Din vs FVV etc.

I think any of those 3 teams would be possible to upset though. With the Saltics being the weakest of the 3.

Philly/Milwaukee we would have not shot.

I don't know about that and it's tough to predict how teams will be looking when it going to matter. I think Bucks clear favorite because they got that continuity and Greek still improving. They definitely separate themselves from other's in that department. We got enough talent to challenge them but our chemistry not on their level. It's no coincident that teams with continuity have strong starts beside Miami. It's a long season and we definitely going to change our opinions with adjustments these teams doing. However I'm pretty confident that we can make a lot of noise and change opinions one's we start hitting on all cylinders with entire mob healthy. We are a very scary team that most would like to avoid.

Its great to know that we are one of the best run organizations in the league

[GTR11]

I'm telling y'all this Craptors, Saltics and Heat teams will be nice warm up games for 6's and Bucks.

Man I like your optimism, but I don't see it.

Not sure we even finish better than the Pacers.

Hard to tell right now. 6's unlike rest pretty much set with their roster and their starting five haven't played much together just like us. I'm not going to predict how their team will look like come playoffs. It's not a big of a set back this early so a lot of things can change between now and than.

I can see Raps and Heat slide down with their uncertainty, but to me it's more about match ups. I'll take 5 or 7 seed if it means avoiding Bucks as much as possible. I will welcome any other match up.

If we can get Irving and LeVert back I think we can catch up to Indiana and Miami.

Now Jaylen Brown is defending Kyrie's good name. Problem is, he's also calling out his coach and front office in doing so. In fact, he's calling himself out without even realizing it. In a recent interview with Brandon 'Scoop B' Robinson of Heavy.com, Brown was -- of course -- asked to address the downfall of Boston's 2018-19 season and to what degree Kyrie deserves the blame.

Here's what Brown said:

"Kyrie got a lot of the blame and was undeserving. It wasn't his fault that certain guys couldn't take a step back. It wasn't his fault. That was the front office and the coach's fault. He gets a lot of that blame because he was the star. But a lot of that should be on the organization and coaching staff. It's in the past. Kyrie is in a better place in Brooklyn, somewhere his roots are. He'll be fine."
