Maybe Traore or Fleming.

I was really hoping for Saraf and Fleming...if we end up with only one pick I would be fine with either....

Wiggins was on Coby White and Bam was on Giddey. I’m guessing Wiggins gets first draw on lollipop with Mitchell and Highsmith terrorizing him off the bench.

Wait, was Jovic actually available today??
Would have been good to give him some reps in garbage time even though it was short.

He wasn't.

Larrson was, though.

Nah. Don't see it. But if heat win game 1 against Cavs, its gonna get interesting. Gotta get through Hawks first though

First time around here?

The Hawks without Jalen Johnson are not a playoff team. If ATL wins on Friday, Cleveland will sweep them. They just don't belong, period.

Would be a real shame to wallop the Bulls only to go cold and lose to the Hawks.

I think MIA can actually push CLE to 6-7 games.

Wow, we played so well I actually forgot about Pelle

Hate to say it but it bodes very well for us. Didn't even have to play a key rotation player

Nah. The Spo vodoo doesn't work all the time. It didnt last year. And we just dont have the gunners we had in the 2 final runs. Struss, Caleb, Duncan, Gabe all at any game could get on a heater and rack 3 back to back threes.
Aside from Herro, Burks is the only guy I feel can go on that run. The level of shooting explosion isn't the same to make me believe they can pull it off. And the games the role players weren't hot, we had Butler

Wouldn't it be funny if we and GSW got on a run and met in the Finals?

No, the reality will break and we will all cease to exist then. You might as well bet a dollar on it if you daydream about such a thing.Should be 100k to 1 odd or more

How funny would it be if somebody scored 101 points in a play-in game? Imagine what the discussion about whether they broke Chamberlain's record would be like.

What you talking bout Boston? If we beat Hawks, it is only Cavs. Orlando is playing Boston. We are playing off with Atlanta for 8th seed only to play 1st.

If we think Duncan can be bad and hunted on defense, you do not want to see what they would do to Vuc. At least Duncan is a plank of wood; Vuc is a wet napkin. He also makes as much as Duncan for one year longer

I'm sure eddie meant we'll face Boston in ECF :wink:

Herro was amazing and Duncan hit some shots but rest of the team could do better. We are in a good place. Davion needs to play better. Up 20 we could have sprinkled in minutes for the bench. Clearly our playoff gameplay is different that what we showed in the season.

Spo puts together real gameplans for the playoffs. He's coached almost 190 playoff games and has only lost 10 out of 33 series total. Don't be surprised if we beat the Hawks and give the Cavs a scare. This team is playing a lot better than the one that got smoked last year vs Boston.
