Don't worry, if a team every need a revival it's always against the Magic. The Bucks will be fine.

Have some faith in your team they're the #3 seed best they've been in a long time.

How do you have Victor that high on the defensive end?

Luka is the only Pg you take over Brunson in 2024 and feel somewhat good about it............absolute insanity Mavs had both

Brunson is a superstar and playoff riser to boot. A 6ft player who isnt a great athlete, doesnt have much explosiveness or speed................being this good is ridiculous

11 pts on perfect shooting, 2 blks and 4 assists in the last 12 from Wemby for such terrible defensive plays by Spurs at the end of 4q.

Not saying that because I don't trust my team but Bucks had our number for a while now. Jonathan Isaac and Franz Wagner will probably be out due to injury so that's that. Truly not really caring, the fact that Orlando has played as well as they did this season has been an awesome surprise.

I think with Indiana winning today. They will get 6 seed.

So bucks are playing 4D chess and sliding to the 3 slot on purpose 2 slot will guarantee 76ers or heat.

I see the ref crackdown lasted about four minutes.

Biggest threat to them at this point is probably the 76ers with Embiid at 100% capacity?

I expect Boston in the finals, but they were probably more favoured against Miami than they will be in any round this year. Theyve lost to less talented teams their last 3 trips to the playoffs i believe and 4/5 if you include the bubble loss to the Heat. They may finally have amassed enough talent to be choke proof, but i can never 100% trust them.

You're crazy if you thought a multi-title winning dynasty core was less talented than the 22 celtics. ridiculous

The 22 Warriors? I dont think anybody thought otherwise. The only reason they won is because the Celtics underperformed (namely, Tatum being outplayed by Wiggins). I dont care how many titles they won, C's best player should not be outperformed by Andrew Wiggins

MIL ending up facing IND would be awesome since IND beat them 4 times and have little beef with them (Giannis ball incident).

Curious to see how this laker game plays out without Lebron….

They tried that a few years ago and it cost them Middleton and home court in a game 7 whete they were sent home.

Tanking to hunt FR match ups is so soft. That being said, I don't think that's what is happening. The Bucks are just ass

The East seeding is going to be crazy. Magic could be 2nd seed or 7th seed.

Have some faith in your team they're the #3 seed best they've been in a long time.

Pssssht. Lol

You my friend have never heard of the Magic curse. Let me give you some example.

1. A 40% 3pt shooter? Sign with the Magic and it becomes 30%

2. A scrub ready to be released? Play us and Magically make 5 straight 3s and get crowned as a Magic Killer.

3. A team in a 5 game losing streak? Play us and your team magically transform into the 96 Bulls.

4. Every outcome in 3 games simultaneously has to happen in order for the Magic to get eliminated from the IST tourney? Hello '23 Decemeber

We have faith. Lol

This Spurs-Sixers game is frenetic.

Mamba Mentality · Post #439 » by **Mamba Mentality** » Mon Apr 8, 2024 1:41 am

Nets might just be the sorriest team in the league. Barely gonna hit 80 against the Kings, really?

Don't forget losing the Laker 1st rounder from the Dwight Howard trade on a 1.2% chance.

Who wins?
