Any action from the Bucks or Celts deadlier than this?

Said it before... Boston and bucks have better 2 way talent. IE their defensive first guys are better offensively than a Tucker or Reed and their offensive guys that they were actually going to rely on in the playoffs aren't Niang defensively.

But the Sixers offensive upside is special comparatively to even Boston... Even if they don't maximize on it.

I think we’ll more likely to win if our edge is our top end talent, while they have to rely on their edge that Grant Williams or Joe Ingles is better than George Niang or PJ Tucker.

I can say the same thing with the Knicks or Hawks.

In theory if you call get good enough defensive play from Harden and Maxey lineups vs elite competition

[Bum Adebayo]

It's not just about talent, we should know this already after losing against Hawks 2 years ago.
My hope is that Embiid and Harden have had time to gel, unlike last season, so I expect to fare a bit better, but Celtics are still our kryptonite.

[Sixerscan]

Harden no Embiid minutes are up to +3.8 over 1100+ possessions. Feel the best about those minutes since they gave $100 million to Embiid’s backup.

Every time he shoots it of off Harden’s pass, I expect a bucket. He’s that good

We have the 2nd toughest schedule remaining, for comparison:

Bucks have the 15th toughest schedule, Boston is 23th and Cleveland 29th.

We have 5 games over the Cavs on the loss column but the Cavs have played 3 more games. Basically, we're 2 1/2 games over them. I think this next game against them is gonna be vital for our seeding, we can get to second and maybe (with a lot of luck) first, but i think is more realistic to try to stay where we are right now.

By the time we play both the Bucks and Celtics again, is highly probable that the seeding is gonna be set.

[M2J]

There actually a very realistic shot Philly can land Brooklyn in the first round. That may be the easiest team to face in the league in the first round. Definitely want to avoid NY or Miami in that round. Not because they'll lose, but because of the toll it could take physically.

The second round is going to be tough for anyone in the East.

celtics with a fat L to the rockets. 2 Seed is there for the taking..

Kangs are leading as well. Sabonis is beasting!

Still got 20+ games left so lots can happen, but yeah BKN and MIA seem most likely atm. BKN is clearly the worse team now but has a 3-game cushion, and both have pretty equal remaining schedules.

There's also a chance we move ahead of BOS but we still got a much tougher schedule. Who knows, though, maybe this little skid continues. They've lost 5 of last 8.

A Bucks loss to the Kangz would be huge! Both Boston and Milwaukee losing on the same night is a big win for us!

[Sixteen]

Nets & Knicks are both going to be tough outs if we play them. They're playing with no expectations while there is a ton of pressure on us. Well, maybe not the nets. I don't see Mikal thriving in the playoffs where you can scheme for him, but the knicks for sure. It would be dope to see the Knicks vs Celtics. I think Knicks could upset them

[Negrodamus]

Nets will be swept by whoever plays them.

Everyone is for himself and I find their team is divided between the old guys and the new guys. Vaughn’s rotation making it hard for two groups to sync together but I guess its because he has no time.

Looks like the Bucks are going to win tonight. Oh well. They are super deep

Best offensive rating since the All-Star break:

128.1 — Kings
125.3 — 76ers
124.2 — Hawks
123.3 — Pacers

Offense is king. Defense is for peasants

Yeah, evidenced by the Pacers and the Hawks.

Edit: The Kings are also third in a conference where teams are barely over .500
