Great.

Yeah, I'm not rooting for the stars of the other team to be hurt/injured. Either we're good enough to beat them or we're not

I don’t want any player on any team to get hurt.

But it is bound to happen.

And when it does, you must take advantage of it.
Winners are cut throat - Legend, Mike, Kobe, Ticket, Truth.
Our team is not.

Philly took care of business. They await. C’s need to stop flopping. They should have swept this awful hawks team.

I know this will trigger homers but man, it's a shame this Finals run is going to deserve an asterisk. Giannis, Embiid, Herro ALL out or gimped. And we're completely healthy and stacked. I was hoping it wasn't a repeat of last year but it's even worse. Let's hope whoever gets out of the West is 100% healthy so it's not deemed one of the weakest Championship runs in NBA history. I want us to earn it.

This might be the only time you'll ever see Tyler Herro's name next to Giannis and Embiid

I will take ANY **** chip.

A few years from now, very few will remember who was injured.

Who cares about asterisk???? The dubs won their first without kyrie and Love. The Raps won it without KD and Klay. It’s all part of it. No asterisk. Any advantage we can get i’ll take it.

Miami could steal this series. Bucks need Giannis back NOW.

Diggin' this Heat score. Injuries suck, rather see Giannis out there, but at the same time, nobody was shedding a tear for us last year with a one legged williams.

Bar Fight · Post #1452 » by **Bar Fight** » Sun Apr 23, 2023 1:15 am

Jimmy flails on literally every layup. Giannis can't come back fast enough to send these **** home.

Good grief. The hawks aren't awful. They actually match up pretty well with us. 1 through 9, our talent level really isn't that much more than theirs. They have a much more experienced coach, they have the #3 ranked offense in the league. They have 2 all-stars, a bunch of shooters and 2 good rim protectors.

Sweeps in a 7 game series rarely happen these days. Last year there was only 1 sweep and that was a nets team that gave up before the series even started (former Net Mike james said on a podcast that KD told him on the phone before the series started that they were gonna lose) and clearly Kyrie gave up after our buzzer beater in game 1.

The warriors won the title last year. how many series did they sweep? 0. The C's last title in 2008, we needed 7 games to beat the 8 seed hawks in the 1st round.

We're still the favorites to win the title. This was updated an hour ago:

You'd rather face the Bucks than the Heat/Cavs/Knicks?

JaMarco and I have spoken: Nuggets vs Celtics in the Finals.

I can't believe I'm saying this but......Kind of concerned about butler's injury. If it's serious at all then this game doesn't matter even if/when the heat win. He's on the bench at least but I saw him wince in pain just standing up to applaud.
