Huge respect for Miami, but if we advance I think Milwaukee being out is good news. They were a terrible matchup for us.

Having said that, I do think the additions of Crowder and Iguodala make the Heat a bit more of a tough matchup for us than earlier in the season.

They likely hire a developmental coach. Suited for a rebuild and their young guys.

Think Tatum gets All-NBA?

Rooting hard for the DEN v. HOU and BOS v. MIA final four.

Obviously no LA is nice, but mostly just because unpredictability is danmed refreshing after the last few years.

I’ve said it in other places before their series started - but I would have much rather had Milwaukee, you know exactly what you’re going to get. Miami is a complete crapshoot to game against.

If we make it to the ECF, it’ll be a damn interesting series... that’s for sure.

I guess not.

I think that’s already settled. 3rd team i think. Though he’s been underperforming in this series so far.

I’m okay with us beating the Lakers in the finals, though would prefer the fresh storylines of a series against the Clippers.

Don't go soft on me man! Every game they don't lose is a wasted opportunity.

Don’t get me wrong I’m always happy with a Lakers loss. I can’t really root for the Rockets but I know who my enemies are.

I think there might be room for him on the 2nd team (he’d have to beat out Embiid and Butler, which would be great but is no given) — if not id be surprised if he doesn’t make the 3rd team.

I love Rondo and hate watching him do this.

Bar Fight · Post #873 » by **Bar Fight** » Wed Sep 9, 2020 3:28 am

I hate the fact that the Lakers have Rondo because I can't help but root for him.

The combined effect of my Laker hate and LeBron hate.

It's too bad D'antoni is a **** playoff coach. Houston should really win this series.

Respect. I like Giannis, but would’ve less if he demanded out. But..... don’t sign the Supermax and keep your options open. Don’t ask out, but no need to commit unnecessarily early either

I hate rondo. So dang good in the playoffs!!! Without him Houston would be at 2-1 at least!

Post #879 » by **djFan71** » Wed Sep 9, 2020 4:03 am

Officials seem so slow to call timeout when 2 guys are so obviously injured on the floor. I hate seeing them laying there while the game continues on. Esp serious looking ones like Covington.
