Miami Heat quietly moving up. Coinciding with Herro injury lol. Have now won 5 straight and 3rd in East.

Who cares what happened in previous seasons.

The sixers are who they are, and we will be laughing at them once again when they bow out in the second round. You will see

Yeah, I wasn't particularly "laughing at them" after the series last year lol. Went a tough 7 games against a hobbled Embiid, which probably contributed to our demise in the Miami series.

One coworker wasn’t all he ****. Unfortunate.

Celtics fans struggle with objectivity if you’re going to use “do it in the playoffs” as a crutch for the Sixers. They’re really good this year, right with Denver imo.

If you want to be objective then let's not ignore the Sixers playing a ton of games at home and playing a bunch of really weak teams. The best team they played other than the Cs was probably the Pacers aka the team we beat by 50. Let's see where they are after 30 games.

They were smoking the number 1 net team in the NBA up until a fake come back, iirc.

Not saying they’re the second coming but this is the first time they’ve had a really good coach in over 10 years and Maxey is legit. No Harden or Butler drama, everyone knows their role. Some of you are setting yourself up for disappointment if you think it’s fool’s gold.

Rockets beat the Nuggets. Denver bench only had 8 points.

Ime Udoka is special as a head coach. Lots of things went wrong last year but I think losing him may have cost the Cs a title. I like Joe but Udoka is a leader of young men regardless of any of his issues outside the gym.

I'm glad the Bucks didn't get Ime

That would have been a disaster for the Cs.

The playoffs are going to be epic this year, lots of great teams and parity at the top.

Why help Miami?

SGA is a beast. Buckets looked easy for him. Clippers banging their heads for letting him go.

The Grizzlies are just two games behind to making Marcus Smart exactly like Kevin Durant. Currently one game behind to Smart being exactly like Wemby.

They got PG13 in return.

A case of sacrifice future for present.

I kind of like the one year tank for them. Grab Ron Holland on the wing.

Didn't Miami's playoff run also coincide with a Herro injury?

I think Kawhi wanted PG13. I doubt they trade SGA straight up for PG13.

The Wolves looked legit good. They are really big and athletic.
