Playoff seeding predictions

[GTR11]

We need to win out. This team absolutely must avoid a Toronto play in scenario at all costs.

No more excuses.

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.

[TheNetsFan]

I just hope that we manage to cross paths with Philly.

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.

Trust me they won't, they just juggling around for match up reasons. They absolutely don't want to see Bucks who been abusing them, and they don't want to see Saltics. You can see it for yourself Tuesday and Wednesday after next one, those games be close until them two just choke them to death. I just happen to watch those games, vibe is brutal if you a bull fan, being treadmill team reality kicks in .

Philthy is dumpsterfire and Harden not being 100% is definitely a big boost of confidence. You know it man that's why you want Philthy too . Anything else will be cherry on top, you ruthless man

Analyzing the seeding today, I see Miami falling to 2 and Milwaukee going to 1, again for some reason, I feel Nets will go through Miami-Philly-Milwaukee in that order. I don’t feel Philly or Miami post a big threat. I think it will come down to Bucks-Nets.

Toronto probably doesn't want to play us in Barclays, but at home they will have us at a huge disadvantage.

Hopefully they can play their way into the 5th seed while CLE and CHI drop down.

Meanwhile, we need to ensure that the Hornets don't overtake us. Those losses to DAL and MEM are haunting us right now.

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

The more I think about it, the more I want to see Harden lose early in the playoffs. I wouldn't pick Sixers over Bucks so I am all in on that.

[Hello Brooklyn]

I think Miami is an ideal first round matchup.

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.

[CalamityX12]

THing is, teams that are energetic, hustle type teams are the ones that gives us the most problems... we don't have horses on our team to match Miami one for one IMO. Throw a MUCH superior tactical Coach to aid them, Miami isn't necessarily a sure thing to play against.


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.

Got to see how he performs snd hope his back doesn't flare up.....

It's still hard to gouge with the unknowns

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.

[TheNetsFan]

Of course neither Utah nor GSW can do us a favor. Now only a half game up on Charlotte.

When the last time we were 100% healthy and for how long? Same goes to Miami.

They can't score or shoot, their starters offensively challenged. Second unit live and die depending which Hero will show up. All that crap can fly during regular season, come playoffs it most definitely will get exposed.

My preference miami simply because they have no answer for Kyrie. Curry and Patty will have tons of open looks. Also Robinson will be unplayable, we exposed him during our match ups, what you think going to happen during playoffs.

Also Saltics with addition of White, AL and Thies is way different team than last year. Both Tatum and Brown improved due to system. Somehow Ime got that entire team to buy in and play hard, they started pushing fast breaks, moving ball and scoring much easier. Iso Tatum and Brown no more. That translated to their defense, players started to play for for each other and switch on point. R.Will, Tatum, Brown and Pritchard definitely benefiting from addition of Ime, White and Al.

Bum ass nix just spanked miami like they a lottery team. D league 6's with half of their players that don't belong in NBA beat them etc etc. Miami is fluke, Spo is the only reason they not picking at 10.

Here how it stands:

BK -> Best team all around with mediocre coach.

Second tier

Buck, Saltics

Third tier

Philthy, Cheatles

Rest of that trash is either treadmill teams or just Ping Pong all day.

[Claud]

Not afraid of any team, but preferably would love to avoid the Bucks for as long as possible.
I know we can beat them, but would be a tough series with Brook being back + them being current champs.

[HardenGoat]

Philly and Bucks are the top teams and Nets. The others are not going to win 7 game series against these teams. Healthy Nets will beat Bucks they proved it last year as long as Curry can make it through effectively or Mills reverts to his sharp shooting form. I think the finals will be Nets vs Philly.
