Even after the Luka trade they were supposed to be vulnerable at center when the trade with Charlotte was rescinded. Why isn't that hurting them more?

LeBron has been on a good stretch since all-star weekend and the Lakers arguably have an easier schedule. They're a bad matchup from going home early. Might not even make it out of the 1st round if they're matched up against Houston, though Warriors/Lakers series might be pretty fun.

Vando has always been a legit weapon, just was rarely healthy.
Also LeBron is playing well off the ball
Also you have to imagine that there is some favorably luck going their way

It will be interesting to see first hand what their team looks like. is this legit, or is the NBA on a mission.

Since we're acting like hypothetical trades were an option we should have traded for Jimmy

Wonder if Bridges' offensive game would be better if he were on the Celtics.

5 best teams if you pretend KAT doesn't play for the Knicks.

Do we have more talent than some of this teams? Yes!

Over the past 2 or 3 weeks have we’ve been playing better basketball than them? Absolutely not!

Then perhaps you could have said that. Because any given week a team can be playing good basketball. ORL was playing great earlier in the season.... Detroit is playing great right now I think ...does that mean we should put them over teams with better records? Absolutely not!
