Don't hold your breath man. Harden went down with calf injury at the end of the Laker game. Philthy coming out the 1st round is very unlikely even vs a team like Bulls. Also Bulls clearly calling their number and will sit DeMar accordingly.
You think Harden will show up vs us during playoff series. After that Kyrie match up I have my doubts.
All and all I got no hard feelings towards him and actually thankful things ended up the way it did. It's just Harden really needs to reconsider the way he manages things in his daily life. Partying throughout the night and than go play took a toll and will take double affect from now on. Not our problem though

Bulls are calling their number? The Bulls are in danger of falling to the play-in.

Craptors don't want no part playing BK either. Their beats and media changed their narrative real quick after mandate news broke down. Avoiding play-in tournament is their priority.

I don't think the Sixers will hold the 3 seed. Boston is too hot. agree with Milwaukee finishing 1st.

In an ideal world, you want Celtics finishing 4th. Let Bucks/Celtics rip each other in the second round so they would be mince meat come ECF time.

id rather milwaukee/philly do that
boston is a non-threat. philly still has embiid/harden at the end of the day

I base this what I see from our team...

Enter Ben Simmons...... Shams reporting that he is expected to play should scare the opposing teams, why? Because Shams is accurate with his reporting. Simmons will certainly be rusty but as the PO goes on and adjustments have to be made, he will defend appropriately and break the opposing team's fans hearts when their star players average less than their average. The opposing teams definitely don't want Simmons back because they know what it would to do them.

We will be at a huge coaching disadvantage. But there is not much comparison talent wise.
Butler is not all that.
Milwaukee is the team I don't want to face.
Philly I think we could beat. But Embiid is still a pain in the ass to deal with.
And Boston we could probably figure out how to beat.

Miami is really really good. they are deep, they have no holes and they are built for the playoffs in that they can not just switch 1 to 5 but have elite defense with any matchup they have. Lowry has been elite switched on bigs and Bam elite switched on small.
They can shoot, they can get to the FT line, they can get out in transition, they can pick and roll.
they are the best team in the east not counting whatever we end up being

Miami just got swept by the same Bucks team we nearly beat with just KD.
Whats the big difference?
A washed Lowry?
They have no offensive force that can match KD.
Not even a top 4 team in the East. I would take MIL, Phi, Bos and us over them.

A washed lowry is a big upgrade for a team whose enormous weakness was Pg.
they also get a healthy Bam/butler
they also add Tucker/Morris who are elite role defenders who also shoot it from 3. They also added Martin who always kills us.
put it this way. they have load managed and coasted all year and still have the best record. They would obliterate miami if they played right now.
go watch last years series again. Milwaukee is the luckiest team ever. miami was wounded heavily, then so were us and atlanta.
