Yea I rather stay between 3-5 for the playoffs. I want nothing to do with miami. Not becasue we can't make it competitive but becasue they would flud kia center and I would Hate that for our home games.

Although if we where to get 3 the heat could easy creep to 6 and we get them anyway like that.

That is why I think Milwaukee is trying to avoid the number 2 seed. They don't want to see Philly.

Poison pill. We get the 2nd and facr the Embiid-led PHI or PO mode Jimmy with Bam/Love injuring our players


Is that also the reason why MIL is losing? :o

I don’t think Mil is losing on purpose to avoid a team or get a certain matchup. They are vet team and they are just taking it easy for the playoffs.

Hank is great, sometimes posts some clips and pictures during the game on Facebook which is nice to get close to the action.

But MIL is one of the teams that can neitralize Embiid one-on-one. They should want PHI

Naaaah. 6-7-8 is still too fluid for MIL to be game planning on who they want to match up with

Just last week people thought the Magic would be in the play in, now people are talking about the second seed. Fans can be bi-polar, lol.

It’s a relatively small gap one way or the other.

would you feel good about a single elimination game against the sixers? I still wouldn't. We would then likely play Atlanta... which have owned us. The team did what they needed to do to these last few games to almost assuredly miss the play-ins. NBA matchups are definitely a thing.

They can't neutralize anything right now. Their defense has been bad all year. They are having PTSD from last year.

BTW... this got me thinking with an earlier post.

Who you got? Lily or Paige? Both girls rumoured to be connected to our heart and soul Suggs.

I wasn’t speaking about wanting to play in the play ins, nobody does. I was speaking more of the overreaction of fans who feared they would have to play in the play ins and now they are speaking about possibly being a 2nd seed.
