Pacers & Sixers are tied right now at 42-27. Indiana owns the tiebreaker due a 2-1 series lead so Philly needs to finish 1 game ahead. Here are the remaining schedules:

Pacers: Lakers, Heat, Rockets, Heat

76ers: Trail Blazers, Suns, Raptors, Rockets

Depends on which teams rest their starters. I could see MIA resting guys in their last game if they have 4 seed locked up.

Predictions:
Pacers go 2-2 splitting the games with MIA and going 1-1 vs LAL and HOU.

Philly goes 2-2 losing to Portland and Toronto.

Agree, but for other reasons. Embiid won't play on back to backs. They lose to Portland. crap shot about the Suns, raptors or rockets depending on who is playing those games or resting. Doesn't really matter at this point since no real home court advantage. Teams just need to get chemistry and be healthy as much as possible.

Doc sitting Kawhi for the game then sits PG with 5 mins left in a close game. They do want the healthy Blazers to be the Lakers' 1st round opponent. I would too.

They only have themselves to blame. Clippers were playing their deep bench guys in the clutch, come on.

I think we can pretty much book it now that we'll be playing the Sixers. I can't imagine Simmons being back for any of that series. Embiid is Embiid but I think we have a distinct advantage everywhere else.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

This is also why I respect Vincent Poirier. Celtics are the only NBA franchise he's ever known. Has never switched teams even though he's yet to win a title with them.

Cavs think they can trade for Simmons. He is flawed but better than any player on that trash dump of a team. It's funny they are serious

Holy **** what a shot by Mitchell. Would be nice for them if they can win this one, but honestly that was an insane pure shot by Donovan Mitchell.

Edit: and he tied it with less then a second left. Nice finish here.

Still not a good fit with Drummond. Simmons needs to be paired with a spacing big like Porzingis or Jaren Jackson, not bigs who live in the paint. But ultimately, Simmons needs to improve his outside shot for someone who has the ball in his hands a lot, at least to the point where opponents can't just double/stray off of him.

Crazy 3 with 10 sec left by Mitchell. Ferguson goes 1-2 from the line and then Mitchell tied it on a floater lay up with less then a second. We got OT baby

Weak defense by Gobert there, just lets himself get pushed underneath the rim by Jokic. Not my dpoy.

Mitchell does it again! Jazz up by 2 now. Dude is like 10/27 or smth and he never seems efficient but sure does look clutch.
