If the Celtics don't win the East it'll be because the wrong guys got hurt or they straight up choked.

The West playoffs will be fun.

I don't know what the general consensus is but to me the Knicks are a more dangerous playoff team without Randle.

It might still be true, but with their full team healthy after the OG trade they were I think 12-1. So the hype was there to have everyone healthy, and that OG kind of helped negate Randle's downsides.

Randle is a bit like what Midds is for us. He does some maddening **** at times but when paired with OG and Brunson, he makes them a better team. This will hurt the Knicks (but not DDV's usage :D)

Figure this math equation out for me.

Jimmy Butler: +10 in 40 minutes
Terry Rozier: -24 in 33 minutes

Heat lose by 4.

Rockets run was fun but looks like Warriors are safe now.

I hope Denver tries to win this game tonight. Down 6 with 9 minutes to go

Clippers playing PJ Tucker and having him guard Jokic....
Not going well defensively

He really annoyed and limited Joker in the 3rd. Not sustainable, obviously.

The refs deciding that they should be the stars is so disappointing

Is it possible we have a "Heat" like run where the team looks sluggish and just waiting for the playoffs to start only to look like a well-oiled machine?

What's that old phrase? Anything is possible.

The only thing to count on is Prime Playoff Giannis and a fantastic starting 5 net-rating. I guess anything is possible indeed.

The best thing about being bipolar is one can become manic (or hot) at just the right time.

Maybe we see Dame, Khris, and Beasley get hot in the playoffs because we know as long as Giannis is healthy he will bring it.
