Playoff seeding predictions

[Prokorov]

We were better last year. WAY better coaching with Dantoni.

Jeff Green was a good 3 and D guy we don't have this year. Joe Harris before he forgot how to shoot. Griffin was also playing really well.

This year we have no good defenders basically. Just Bruce Brown whos undersized.

We are a much better team roster wise. worse coaching.

Jeff green was good. but no way he trumps the additions of curry, drummond, and a healthy kyrie. blake cant even crack the center rotation on this years team (although maybe we should). We also have some depth. we were basically playing 5 guys 42 minutes at the end of that bucks series. we have a legit 8 man playoff rotation this year with Mills, Drummond, and Dragic

speaking of dragic, our PG rotation was mike james, chris chiozza, and a fat 1-legged harden

Drummond is not useful in a playoff series.

Jeff Green was a good defender. Harris was decent. Curry is better offensively but much worse defensively than both those guys.

Blake was way better last year. Could make his 3s.

Drummond was huge helping us beat milwaukee earlier and in general is good resistance. He also helps us not get destryoed on the glass when they go big. we did not have that last year and well... got destroyed on the glass.

Harris was not good defensively. neither was jeff green. greens defense was a huge issue for us most of last year. offensively great though especially vs milwaukee.

Curry brings great shooting. and he has sustained it in the playoffs. he also provides ball handling depth. something we SEVERALY lacked vs. the bucks last year.

bucks losing PJ was huge.

Nash has run Durant into the ground so honestly i am not expecting much even if we do make it out of the play in tournament

Both KD and Kyrie missed half of the season. They just came back no?

[GTR11]

Today we most likely will see who's going to be 2 and 3 seed. Have to side with Prok and Calamity here, no way I'm picking Bucks to win tonight. Much rather smoke Saltics as a worm up series.

Saltics calling our name right now because Udoka and Kyrie stuff. They also know it's the best time to catch us. With healthy Joe and Ben they know it's not going to be competitive by any means.

We also want Saltics because we don't want to get into wrestling fight right away. Giannis gave KD fits this year and actually making shots now. So even losing PJ hurts, they improved internally.

Pretty much as a last year. The winner of Bucks vs BK series will come out the EC. Rest of them clowns can't hold our towel.

Don't get it twisted I'm not scared of Bucks by any means. I'm just saying they head and shoulders better compared to others, and in ideal world you don't want yo see such team right away. Second round... sure let's get it on.

Yeah honestly toronto scares me more then boston/philly/bulls and maybe even miami cause its 4 games with no kyrie. other then that for me thi is the order of my concern:

1. Heat - mildly scared, i think lowry/bulter have load managed all year.

2. bucks - capable of beating us. not scared

ENORMOUS GAP

3. Toronto - great coach, no kyrie, makes me nervous, we probably get by

4. Playin - even at 7/8 seed we need to be beat just twice, not 4 times

5. Philly - 5-6 games, we stomp them

6. Boston/Bulls - 4-5 games, never in doubt

So you/we need to cheer for a Bucks and Craptor loss today. This way Philthy will have only one game remaining vs Indy. They not going to lose that game simply because Indy tanking. Wich means seeding end up like this ( Hypothetically )

1. Maimi vs 8. ATL
4. Bucks vs 5. Craptors
__________________________

2. Saltics vs 7. BK
3. Philthy vs 6. Bulls

This will be great scenario for us. We question our effort evry other time. Won't be case vs Saltics and Philthy. A lot of personal stuff and bad blood in here. We actually FINALLY will have some type of rivalry to talk about Nothing can beat trolling Saltics and Philthy clowns.

Celtics ducking #2? Shocking, because losing would mean a strong chance at #4 & a first round date with Toronto (unless Philly loses to Toronto today).

[CalamityX12]

Do you fear Milwaukee? Last year we all know we were stomping them until Kyrie went down and were 1" away from beating them. This year we have fared well against them...

-Loss by 19 on opening night, no Kyrie after a weird training camp. Harden fat + targeted by regs

-Win by 3, in Milwaukee with just Kyrie

-Loss, in overtime, after being up 9 with 3 minutes to go. but we outplayed them all game

We owe them one for last year. id love to see them.

In long 7 game series yes I do fear MIL. I won't let their jeykll n hyde season to fool me. Come playoff time, the physicality will be high along with the swallowing of whistles.

We don't have the brutes to match. If we're not hitting an abnormal 3pt % the other matters of scoring is not in our favor due to Coaching.

Their bucks, Giannis and Middleton, can play at a high level at a much more realistic runtime than KD and KY who probably will be runned to the ground, whether leading up to that series or potentially throughout the 7 game set.

Ky went down that forced Harden to play but must part we had a better supporting cast last yr vs this year.

That loss in OT vs bucks just days ago, that happened even without Middleton playing after the F2 foul.

We definitely owe them but their brand of style to be physical than us, faster than us, quicker than us along with actual on court system/structure is something I do want to avoid early.

our supporting cast last year was trash? jeff green and who? joe who couldnt hit a shot? Mike james? Blake? A worse version of bruce brown?

Jeff Green was fantastic last year... Crucial player thru the season and provided a lift when he can in the playoffs. Don't necessarily play down his contributions just by rebuttling it, please also factor in he was injured in the playoffs. He was playing hurt and not even 100% IIRC.

Harris was awful, we may have our own disappearing act version of him in Patty. That's a TBD.

Giannis is also much better from before while we are currently grinding Kevin into ground black pepper.... he's getting so much wear and tear in a short span.

The rumors about Horford and Brown are just that, rumors. They’ve both implied that they are good to go against anyone recently. If anything this injury report confirms that they are likely good to go if they play Toronto. Dunno who started these rumors the last couple weeks, but it is what it is.

Welp that does it. That 8th seed looking very attractive to me right now.
All that tough talk from Saltic clowns . They scared to death.

This is huge news. Pretty much guarantee that Kess will be logging some min. Remember these games when KD didn't pass to JJ when he was in the corner 3, he does pass to Kess.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Wow the Celtics are overtly tanking to miss the 2 seed.

They want no part of us. This basically ensures that Milwaukee gets the 2 seed. A disaster scenario for us in my view.

We probably don't get past the first round now.

Whoa whoa...pump those brakes

there's zero guarantee that we even survive this play in. I can absolutely see us getting beat by any of these teams in the qualifier.

Even if we're not afraid of losing to the Bucks, we should want to avoid the toll the physical and sometimes borderline dirty play imposes.

[TheNetsFan]

Charlotte and Milwaukee won, Boston and Philly lost. Worst case scenario for us tonight. Likely means Milwaukee will be 2, Boston will be 3 and Philly will be 4.

8 seems like the better seed, but you don't want to have to go through a one and done play in scenario.

[Hello Brooklyn]

Bucks are likely the 2 seed. I don't see us beating them at all. Like no chance.

I'd rather us tank and try to get the 8 seed.

[Jay555]

Bucks are the worst matchup for us..Not to mention they would try to take someone out in the process..

[Hello Brooklyn]

Who the **** would even guard Giannis? Last year it was Griffin who Nash won't play.

Hes no longer a FT liability which saved us so many times.

[GTR11]

In a good news we won't have to worry about Harden. Bad news is that we got Ben dilemma now. Not having him for Bucks series changes everything.

[HardenGoat]

In a good news we won't have to worry about Harden. Bad news is that we got Ben dilemma now. Not having him for Bucks series changes everything.

You mean resigning him. Harden is playing like he’s either hurt or washed right now. If you avoid the bucks by going 8 seed you will face playing Toronto second round without Kyrie half the games. Probably still safer than a potential Bucks first round exit though. Philly now has to play Toronto first round without their best defender in Thybulle for road games. Covid is still an obstacle
