Who do you believe comes out of the East and why?

My gut says whoever wins the 2nd round series between Milwaukee and Boston is going to the finals. I give the edge to the Bucks but not by much.

I have no idea.
I feel we've said everything there is to be said about those teams and there's only one way to answer this. Get this 1st round out of the way and lets play.

Why Toronto? Pascal Siakam. That's why.

Boston or Milwaukee

I am voting Raptors. Just the feeling I get and it is based on nothing.

Seems like a safe bet based off the prior years.

Truthfully, Sixers and Celtics don't belong in the same conversation as Bucks and Raptors.
I think it's 50/50 right now between the latter too.
Gotta see how they do in round 2.

Toronto. Talent, Experience, depth, variation.

Only issue is Lowry obviously

Celts

I'd love it to be the Bucks, but I'm getting 2012 vibes from these playoffs, so I'll sadly say Celtics. I see Boston/Houston finals.

Celtics or the Bucks.

Do you think Giannis' supporting cast will keep it up when they're playing a team like Toronto. I even think the next best after Toronto is Boston. Again the Celtics' experience and defense is really strong, think the Bucks just need to get more playoff reps in for the other guys.

This is literally the third straight year the bucks are in the playoffs . They have playoff experience

A couple first round exits is still relative inexperience to players like Kawhi and Kyrie.

Raps.

The other 3 teams are the "sexier" picks for media but the Raps gonna pull a "Spurs" (ironically), quietly sneak up and take it!

Celtics but if not than the bucks. The people saying Boston has no chance are kidding themselves.

To be fair, you guys haven't looked good at all this season.

To be fair I know it isn't you directly but all I hear from raps fans is "people put too much stock in the regular season , or the regular season means nothing" then uses the regular season against Boston. They have looked good this regular season. I think people undersell the sixers minus dipo and forget how good they played minus the last week or two of the season. Their defense is very good and Boston is up 3-0 which is more than most teams can say this year so far.

There's that Boston bravado I haven't seen since preseason :wink:

Something something "adding 2 All-Stars" something something "60+ wins". I think that was the gist of it.

Nobody could account for Hayward taking so long to get back to form or brown starting the season off so bad but the team is clicking now and everyone is playing well
