Is this sustainable? How can we be more competitve without destroying the current system...so many questons
guess we will have some answers soon with the first round.


Those are my thoughts too as I don't think we will do much damage in the playoffs this year (absolutely hope I'm wrong!). I think a lot will depend on re-signing Vuc and maybe T-Ross. If we re-sign those guys, we will most likely need to make a trade to change up our line-up in a meaningful way. I think the most likely option is to keep the team the same and hope Fultz is the guy he was at Washington. If Fultz regains his form from college, we could keep the rest of the team basically the same and be comparable to Indy/Philly (not elite, but 2nd or maybe 3rd round of the playoffs). I think this is what WeHam is hoping to do as it gives us a longer window while Bamba, JI, and Fultz grow and develop together which could eventually lead to us being an elite group.

If I'm Orlando I am playing everybody and going out and winning that game against Char tomorrow and praying for Miami to beat Brooklyn in D Wades last game. If there is any team we have the potential to upset in a series its Philly imo.

Vuc always gives Philly fits and we have played them as tuff as anybody this year. Getting the 6th seed would be huge imo.

I would be very surprised if Clifford let off the gas in the last game of the year, especially if Charlotte is still alive for the playoff spot.

Clifford seems to be one of the "respect for the game" types who wouldn't roll over in a meaningful game even if it's meaningful for the other side more than his side.

If we have a legit shot at Philly I wholeheartedly agree. Philly would not want to play Orlando in the same way we don’t want to play Toronto. I would rather play Milwaukee over Toronto.

I agree, I want Philly.... We'll still probably lose but I think we might be able to make that series interesting.

So.. elephant in the room.

JI is/was in the protocol. Can he play against CHA or even game 1? We didn't notice anything serious in the game so why is he in it? What scares me is that if he suddenly complains minutes AFTER the said incident that caused it.

So any updates on our org doctors about it?

I don't think it was a concussion. Wasn't it a elbow to the jaw?

He tweeted he's good :)

I read he’s in the concussion protocol. Not sure how many days and things he has to pass before he’s allowed t come back. Assume he’s out tomorrow

Serious question. If Detroit wins tomorrow night thst gives them a season record of 41-41. When was the last time all 8 playoff teams in the East were atleast a 500 ball club?
