Never would've guessed this. It's mainly a team of role players outside of Ja.

A great fitting team can dominate the regular season. Ja will show his worth when game is on the line

Ja missed 12 games in December and team went 10-2. It was very early in the season and there was an 80 pt victory against OKC which might have influenced the numbers a little.

Anybody watching the bulls bucks game tonight? Either way, we win. We either gain more ground on the bulls or we move to the 3rd seed.

The line that gets me.

But again, we're going to do it in layers, and when we feel it's the right time to look at that, if we do so at all, because the work environment is an important environment, we're going to make that determination.

Can you even imagine if this is just permanent and Kyrie is just screwed? lmao

I can do that in my sleep. Safer too, no risk of injury if you're just laying in bed.

Ojeleye is on the Clippers now?? Going from JB-JT to Giannis-Khris now to PG-Kawhi?? Semi's wing help keeps getting worse.

They're a machine. Doesn't matter if CP out. Monty should be COTY. Don't overthink it.

The Heat may loses this one, to the Warriors.

No Steph, no Klay, no Draymond. Heat are not a threat.

A Stanley Johnson-led Lakers team, made up of YMCA and G-league players, is giving the Sixers a nice fight.

Besides Boston, I think the team that looks the best in the East going into the final set of games is Milwaukee. They seem to be getting into really good playoff shape.
You never know what is going to happen in the playoffs, but I really think we are going to see the C's and the Bucks fighting it out to see who is going to represent the East against the Suns in the Finals.

Dangit. I knew the account was familiar. My bad.

Kyrie Irving is averaging 44 ppg on 62% shooting in last 4 games. Definitely don’t want the Nets in first round. Getting 1 or 2 seed might be best way to avoid that possibility as they could conceivably run the table and get the 6 seed.

But since when does Kyrie make his teammates better? Nets have lost nine straight when Kyrie scores less than 38.

That's my thinking too. Want to finish ahead of them for home court advantage. Bucks are s complete team but have one potential flaw in Giannis postseason, late game free throw shooting. Also wouldnt be shocked at seeing a Mavs Celts finals. The Mavs retooled as we did and are better for it. They may come out of the West as the Bucks did last year in the East. Stoked for how it's gonna playout!

I agree he is a beta and can be a liability at times. But when a healthy Durant is the team leader, Kyrie knocking down shots like this is dangerous.

Knocking off the Nets in the first round before Simmons has a chance to get healthy and play is best way to keep them out of finals. I prefer it be the Bucks or Heat but if it’s Celtics so be it.. In the playoffs it often comes down to making shots. If our team has an Achilles heel it’s that a lot off our guys can’t be trusted to make shots and that’s where the Nets have a big advantage against everybody - they have the best 1-2 shot makers right now in NBA.
