Don’t be surprised if you see Embiid follow in AD’s footsteps & demand a trade to Miami.

Not getting carried away , but imagine both LA teams crash out in Round 1 after all the hype. Everything will really be blown wide open.

I was thinking same thing EVEN BEFORE I saw your post. LOL.

Highly likely this is not gonna happen - but wouldn’t it be sweet to see Rockets/Thunder winner VS Blazers and Nuggets/Jazz winner VS Mavs in WC Semifinals?

Would be so refreshing & great to see Dame & Luca competing instead of the overhyped Queen & the Claw.

And meanwhile, we hopefully finish off the Sixers very quickly, then **** up the Craps & then crush the Magic in the ECF (after they ‘magically’ beat the Deers & the Heat).

I think I speak for everyone when I say it would be great to see the Lakers get bounced in the first round.

Feels like at least one of the LA teams or the Bucks will fall out in the first round.
This is a weird year.

Give the people what they want... Boban vs. Tacko in the NBA Finals.

So the #1 seed Lakers, the #2 seed Clippers and the #3 seed Nuggets all look like they are going to have their hands fulls in their opening series.

Imagine the beautiful chaos if all three lose, second round of (4) Rockets vs (8) Blazers, (6) Jazz vs (7) Mavericks.

Obviously unlikely to happen, but man that would be some March Madness level nonsense.

Jazz are definitely winning that series. Better roster and better coached. If nuggs has Barton and Harris at full strength it would be different but those are the only quality guard/wing defenders they have.
And mike Malone sucks

Heat without Bam in the game are quite mediocre. Dude is awesome.

Listening to ESPN jerk off Miami's "culture" is so nauseating.

Man How does Miami find so many good undrafted guys? Duncan Robinson is automatic. Heat may have a chance to make it to ECF.

Bucks giving the Magic and old fashioned Beatdown.

Yeah. Bucks losing to magic game one doesn't lead me to believe in upset at all. Now Lakers blazers is another story.

Yeah, the Blazers came from nowhere. They were like 11th seed or something.
They're not a traditional 8th seed.

Middleton is ass, so weak, does nothing at either end if he is not scoring.

Not really. Vuc doing whatever he wants when he wants. Too bad he has nothing around him otherwise Bucks would be in real trouble. It is still a game even with Fournier chucking and bricking a million 3s and midrangers alike. Fultz might actually turn out to be a steal for Orlando someday soon.
