Damn dude I didn't realize Philly had lost 8 of their last 9 games.

And they got a winnable game tonight against the Wizards but after that it’s @Cleveland, vs Miami, vs NYK, vs Cleveland, vs Milwaukee, @Boston

On February 27th there’s a non zero chance they’re like 2-14 in their last 16 or something crazy lol.

They're basically a 20-win team without Embiid this season. They've got enough of a cushion that I doubt they fall out of the top 10. But them avoiding the play-in entirely would probably require Embiid coming back a little sooner than expected AND them playing a good bit better than they are now.

God I wish we could've found a way to get Gafford for Bobby. Dallas looks tough as hell with Gafford/PJ Washington.

Outside of that 50 pt game Maxey has been pretty awful too during that stretch

So Detroit is just dismantling the clippers in LA currently. What do we make of this?

Everyone loves to make excuses for LA teams but this time I don’t think there are any.

Detroit is going to town, my man.

“Just show more replays of that one three Harden made”

Also, the thunder look awful

Detroit's biggest lead was 12 and it lasted like 6 in-game minutes. There was only one quarter LAC didn't win, and they lost it by 10

On the bright side, the last team they lost to was the Joe Prunty led Bucks.

Prunty, unimpressed, scoffs at the Cav's success.

Yeah, the Cavs have lost I believe 4 games since about mid December and 2 of those 4 losses are to the Bucks. That's cool and I am not really all that concerned about possibly playing the Cavs in a best of 7 series. I just want us to get the #2 seed or at worst not get knocked down to the #4 seed.

Just because I want to avoid Boston in the 2nd round, the later we play Boston in the playoffs the better for us IMO. I am not really worried about HCA this season like I was last season. This season for us, it's more about match ups and if the real Dame shows up. I just don't want to get knocked down to the #4 seed and have to play Boston in round 2 because the Cavs went on some weird 35-6 run in the 2nd half the season.

Weird how Garland and Mobley went down and just when you thought the Cavs were toast, they became unbeatable.

Great shot, but how do you let him get such a wide open look? Beal badly misplayed that inbound.

Cleveland has been crazy. They are on an 17-1 run despite a ton of injuries. During that time, they are by far the best team in the league defensively, while also being 3rd offensively. It is absurd to be that big of an outlier defensively while also being a powerhouse offensively all while dealing with a bunch of injuries.

If the Bucks don't win it all, it would be pretty cool to see a team like Cleveland step up and win it.
