6 seed seems more and more inevitable imo...hawks won’t lose. Knicks we will see but it is what it is

Yep. Hawks have a cake schedule while the Knicks is pretty tough. May come down to the last game against NY.

Behind Joker and Embiid, I think K.O might be the most productive BIG in the NBA since the Allstar break. even had 8 asst and 3 blocks tonight to go along his typical + 50% shooting from 2s and 3s

lmao big words from a stiff big who is getting his ass handed to him by a trash team. Pacers are a disaster this year. Are all of their coaches bald white guys? They look like Dr. Evil and Mini Me on the sidelines.

Grass isn't always greener with coaching changes. Good coaches become victims of their own regular season success way more than people realize.

Hopefully they love their new shot profile.

This season is really Nate McMillan's revenge tour which is almost as surreal as the Knicks being a good team

Our national nightmare is nearing an end.

Best news of the day so far, seriously.

Guys, read this. It is 100% worth it. Nate Bjorkgren seems like a HORRIBLE manager of egos

Get feeling, we are going to get lucky and make the ECF yet again. And Washington will help us. I think they win the play in thing and then knock off a top team. If we can win some games and get a little luck than we only have to beat the Hawks or Knicks and then the Wizards and we are in the ECF. We are due for some good luck right?

I love the part about TJ Warren, after having previously being coached by Bjorkgren, immediately requesting a trade when it became public that Bjorkgren was to be hired by Indiana. And then just opting for elective surgery to completely avoid him. TJ Warren is my new favorite basketball player.

A perfect example of how basketball is not just about X's and O's.

Relationships matter.

If the players don't like the coach then it's game over for the coach.

Washington as usual isn't deep but they have Beal, Westbrook and some really strong supporting players. They also play all out and with great pace. The Wiz and the Pels are 2 teams I usually record when available.

So true but like some new wave singer it goes both ways.

I don't know about the Wiz knocking off a top team, but one thing's for sure, the Celts have not had a complete team for most of the season.

If the Celts' core players are all healthy in the playoffs, anything's possible.

Only team that I don't think the Celts can beat is Philly.

But Celts can beat Brooklyn and Milwaukee.
