Game 80: Magic at Bucks - 4/10/24 - 7:00 - OTA
No Giannis and on a B2B. Magic also on a B2B, they lost at Houston Tuesday night.
East is garbled. We're 2 up on Orlando. 1-1 against them, 2 to play. They also play Philly. I don't know the tiebreaker if we finish 2-2 against them. We're one up on the Knicks, they most likely win out (Celtics with nothing to play for, Nets, Bulls). We split with them. I don't know the tiebreaker. Cavs also 2 behind us. We split with them. I don't know the tiebreaker.
Please no one else get hurt (I'm talking to you Khris).
Go Bucks.

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Just get to 50 wins, that should be good enough for #2

I'm expecting to see Giannis: Questionable.

2 seed looks really bad right now. Gauranteed 76ers/Heat possibly without Giannis. We should have been trying to drop to 4th and resting Giannis the past few weeks but now it's imperative that we drop. 2 losses to the Magic propel them above us and the Knicks have a soft schedule. Though if I were Boston I'd be looking to beat them and keep the Bucks in #2/3.

It's kind of the opposite. Win 2 against the magic and sixers will pass them

Anyone we play in the playoffs is going to be tough. We go through this every year - let's get this matchup, let's avoid this one - none of it matters. If the Bucks play their A-game throughout the playoffs, they will win the title. Problem is, their A-game has shown up very infrequently this season.

Yup, way too bunched up to play that game. FAFO

We're looking at a first round matchup where Giannis potentially misses some or all of it... We 100% need to be playing the matchup game.

Matchups certainly MATTER but with Giannis out for most likely the rest of the regular season, we just need to play. Magic-OKC-Magic is already going to be a tough stretch. If we get an unfavorable matchup in the playoff seeding and lose, they were never doing anything this year so why not try to get homecourt for as long as possible.
We should try to hold on to the 2 seed. This is a MUST WIN.
120-104 is in my head for some reason

76ers with the new no fouls push from NBA is probably the easiest playoff series we've ever had.

Some of you are assuming the Sixers even win their first play-in game.
1.) They can still easily catch the Pacers or the Cavs (who face each other), then you move to #3 and still get them
2.) We have had a tough time with the Pacers this year too
3.) Sixers might lose to Heat in the first play-in game, of course then we face the Heat
All I know is the Celtics better not face Chicago or ATL in the first round.

Are we sure Giannis is missing the whole first round?

He's got 10-days to heal up at least (depending on whether Game 1 is the 20th or 21st). He's not missing the 1st round.
