Play off matchups

[MrDollarBills]

This is total war. We are going to kill these **** ing pricks.

They caught us in all three games without the BIG 3, while they had both of their All-Stars, Tatum & Brown.

... and we still swept them in all three games.

Now THEY are down an All-Star, Brown, and our gun in fully loaded.

Their Winter of Discontent begins next week

I'm not saying we can't beat the Wizards but we don't really need to get into a tough series in round 1. Westbrook and Beal are top 20 level players. They aren't going to roll over the way you guys think they will.

The Wizrds wouldnt have been a tough series. it would have been a beatdown sweep with multiple blowouts. Tonight highlight basically everything that had been noted above:

-Tatum is the best player between the 2 teams
-Boston is a tough playoff tested team
-Boston has a great coach, Wiz have an awful coach
-Russ isnt half the player in the playoffs when it becomes more of a halfcourt game
-Beal is kind of empty stats and really has no bigger impact then someone like kemba

We will beat boston. They can make it a 6 game series on coaching alone. we could beat them in 4-5 for sure, but its likely 5-6 with how big of a coaching advantage and how playoff tough they have proven to be,

Boston it is. Tatum with a monster game. He is the one we have to contain and Kemba who has been a disappointment this year suddenly started showing up. We match up well though so no worries. Pacers went on a shooting spree so Iam sure 76ers will be seeing them. Beal and Westbrook looked done for.

Both of them are playing hurt now, which is too bad because I believe a healthy Wizards team, with both Beal and Westbrook at 100%, would have given the Sixers are much tougher series than Indiana.

I have to check my temptations right now.

Well healthy indy team will be running that Wiz team out the gym if we going to say could've would've crap.
Turner
Sabonis
TJ
Caris
Brogdan with Lamb as 6th man. What happened to Indy this year is a tragedy.

True, but then again they wouldn't even have been in the play-in. They'd probably be the 4 Seed.

Let's also consider that we get Indy's second rounder this year if they lose to Washington. We don't need that pick this year, but it's likely as high as it will ever be.

I think we definitely want that pick to get pushed to next year or owned outright 2023, we have 2 this year already and need roster spots for vet signings. 2022 looks like a great draft again, then there's the chance the one and done rule gets dropped as well

I just looked at the 2015 draft where Booker was the 13th overall pick. I saw the 12 players selected ahead of him and all I can say is a lot of GM's will never stop kicking themselves in the arse.

To be fair, he couldn't even start on his college team. He developed like crazy the summer before his lone season at Kentucky. Herro was similar, it's hard to project shooters when they don't have sizeable roles in college or prestigious high school resumes.

Ah thank for the explanation ... LATE BLOOMER ... now it makes sense.

I was looking at that draft board like, how did this dude drop to 13?
