I will be hugely disappointed in The Kings if they don't run GSW into the ground today...They are OLD and slow.

LOL, not as disappointed as Bruins fans if they lose game 7.

I loved hockey much more than basketball when I was a kid. I know they’ve had some injuries but I feel like every time I get excited about the Bruins they lose in just.. wtf fashion :lol:

If we make it to the ECF in one piece we should absolutely run over both these teams. Im talking 5 games max. With Embiid injured this could be the easiest path to the finals we have ever had.

Expectations have to be at an ALL TIME high right now.

Yeah, I'm not buying that. The Knicks ostensibly kicked our ass all season. Not that I'm saying their better but their size has been an issue all year for us. NYK is long and athletic. And Barrett and Brunson have been consistent problems for us. If NMiami gets out of this matchup they will be battle tested and it's hard to knock Jimmy Butler out 4 games. With either team it would be a physical matchup. Wouldn't be easy at all.

We didn't even "run over" the Hawks lol

I'd prefer playing the Heat in the next round if we get there but I'm still finding myself rooting for the Knicks. Something is probably wrong with me but I just like them. They play tough and as a team.

You’d certainly think if there’s one year everything would pan out well for us, it would be this year.

With that being said, I haven’t seen a copious amount of positives from us so far this year. So much sleep walking, so many inconsistencies and we often play like a team that doesn’t have the experience that frankly, our core does have. It’s a little concerning.

I still think there’s more than a solid chance we come out of the east but thinking these guys are going to walk over anyone is probably setting up for disappointment.

We made that harder than it had to be though and you know it. That should have been over in 5 and we gave it away. So yea I guess we can do the same with these other teams, but if we played our best it should absolutely be a quick series.

I agree with you. Im not saying we would I’m just saying we should. I’m hoping now that the games are getting serious we won’t sleep walk through a game like we did in game 5.

Like I said, they should if they come out ready for business. We will see if they decide to change or not.

I actually love this Miami Heat squad. As much as I hate that entire franchise and all they stand for, I love this current group of guys minus Tyler Herro that little greasy ****.

Guaranteed we're gonna make mistakes along the way.

Jimmy Buckets straight up Moss-in dudes on those outlet passes

Kevin Love would go to the Heat and become a player again. Thank goodness we got Muscala.

The NFL draft has already happened right ? Because Kevin Love's outlet passing clinic might have gotten a few team interested :lol:

Cs definitely wouldn't run over the Knicks. That series actually terrifies me.
