Playoff seeding predictions

[TheNetsFan]

Looking at the schedual both Cavs and Bulls look likely to fall, for Nets to overtake them will depend on when Simmons is unleashed.

I can guarantee you Bulls won't fall lower than 5. Their depth ( quality of it to be specific ) definitely is an issue but, DeRozen, Zack and Vuc is enough to keep Craptors at 6.

I agree. The top 5 field is set though the order is not.

Idk how it would happen but my dream is Philly first round, Bucks 2nd round, Celtics conference finals, and then we beat the Warriors in the Finals

We can pencil Philthy to 4-5 seed with confidence

They want Bulls - can't blame them for ducking the Nets.
Lets see how Bucks and Celtics react.

Did the Heat and Bucks lose on purpose today? Lol..No one wants to be the first 2 seed.

Yeah but Bulls can easily jump into top two seed. Their schedule allows it and they'll get Ball back soon. Coruso looked solid first game back.

Saltics also been spanking Philthy on a regular, they playing with fire right now. Praying to get Cavs or Bulls? They might just pack it up right now and get them Cancun tix.

[GTR11]

Remaining Cavs schedule, they don't even no where Caris or Allen be back. They can easily slide to 9th seed.

Mon vs LAC
Wed vs 76
Fri vs Den
Sat vs Det
Mon vs LAL
Thu @ Tor
Sat vs CHi
Mon vs ORL
Wed vs Dal
Thu @ ATL
Sat @ NYK
Sun vs 76
Tue @ ORL
Fri @ BK
Sun vs MIL

I see 10 losses at minimum here.

My preference list. The way I'd love to see seedings end up:

1. Miami vs 8. BK
4. Philthy vs 5. Bulls
_______________________
2. Bucks vs 7. Craptors
3. Saltics vs 6. Cavs

Last team I'd like to face be Bucks. Well coached and tough out.

Heat is fluke af. I'd love to expose fat washed up boy and Jimmy. Give me Philthy in a second round so I can troll their board.

Besides Cavs who should be 8 seed and weakest team. There won't be a cake walk match up to NBA finals in Beastern conference. Yes EC is now what WC used to be.

I feel Nets would get past Miami with KD/Kai available...... There's that famous word.... The Bucks/Celtics match would be a great matchup and biggest match in the second round. Nets would blitz either Philly/Chicago as both teams have Bonafide choke artists; Demar Derfrozen will go ice cold in the playoffs and the Pig Fat Larden will be screaming for foul calls while his team has to play 4-5 on defense. In a perfect world, this is what would happen but when you have a political figure and a basketball player sabotage your season, you find it hard to believe anymore..... It's sad that even a political figure can use tyranny to stop a team and a player doesn't want to help the team or even request a damn exemption.

[Hello Brooklyn]

I think the Cavs are cooked.

Ideally they move to 7th so Ky can play vs them.

Also hoping the Bucks move up to #1.

Then its Nets v Miami in round 1.

I really don't want Bucks in the 1st round. I don't think we can handle that. Especially with Simmons possibly being rusty.

Then its probably Philly 2nd round. Who I think we have a shot at beating.

And save the Bucks for the ECF.

If Kyrie is available, I am not scared of any of these teams. Not one.

Miami is the biggest threat. They have the defenders to throw at Kyrie and KD. Tucker/Morris and Lowry/Butler with Bam rim protecting. they have shooting, They have guys who have been to the finals/won a title and they have an elite coach

I'm not saying we cant beat them, but thats our biggest hurdle. Milwaukee is tough but we steamroll them.

Easiest path i see:

-Beat Cavs for 7 seed
-Stomp philly as the 2.
-Bulls/Boston beat milwaukee, we beat either of those in 5 or less
-hope milwaukee/boston/bulls beat miami --- we beat any of those 3

ideally Cavs -> Philly -> Boston -> Bulls -> Denver

thats the easiest. for what i want though...

Cavs -> Philly -> Boston -> Milwaukee -> Golden State or LA

i want to take on all challengers but avoid miami

I don't see Miami as a serious threat at all.

Yes they have good defenders. But you need someone to matchup with KD in the playoffs.

I don't think Butler can be that guy. Lowry looks washed.

Why should I seriously fear them as having the offensive firepower to beat us?

Philly/Milwaukee have Giannis or Embiid.

PJ tucker played durant as well as anyone in last years playoffs. and its not about 1 on 1 matchup either... they can switch 1 through 5 and put a good defender on him. they have depth where if someone gets in foul trouble they have 2-3 outstanding defenders to throw at him. and defensively as a team they are good enough to double and recover.

I mean, they are the 1 seed for a reason. their coaching advantage is enormous. I think they could beat us in 5 even with a healthy kyrie

Pj played what KD was dropping 40 on him.

Keep that energy because there's good chance we going to see that fluke ass team in a 1st round.

Also, mark me here. Come April 18 I believe mandate will be lifted. Around April 20th is when Ben will be available 100%.

I will be here and calling you out all day. Bet on that.

Yes I know it'll be during PO time and I'm confident on it.

[GTR11]

Let me be clear. I'm not scared facing Bucks at all. It's just first round match up pretty much guaranteed early exit.

They the best team as of today. Simply because flat earth creature won't get vaccinated.

[Jay555]

The thing with Bucks is that they will play dirty again. Either Kai or KD goes down, that’s it for us. With Miami, I donot like PJ on KD. Yes, KD dropped 50 on him. But PJ’s physicality will wear him down.

Regardless who we are playing in the first round, the league would milk that series and make sure it’s going 7.

+1 on the Bucks, they've got team cheap shot over there between Portis, Giannis and that other dude who's name I can't think of right now but who's got a punchable face (Just remembered - Grayson Allen)...

[Hello Brooklyn]

The only positive of playing the Bucks is they have no one to guard Durant this time.

PJ Tucker guards KD better than anyone in the league. Who exactly is supposed to guard him now? We know Giannis is too scared to ever guard the best player on the other team.

No shot anyone else could do it.

[MrDollarBills]

As it stands now, we face a dire scenario in the play in game.

Road game versus a well coached Raps team, no Kyrie. The odds of losing that game are fairly high.

Say we do lose, we most likely end up in a win or go home scenario versus Atlanta...and that would also be a game without Kyrie.

KD is literally going to have to put up superhuman performances just to get us into round 1. This is not sustainable. Kyrie needs to get vaccinated.
