I’ve been thinking we’d sweep Orlando, and beat Cleveland in 5. But the 4 games against Orlando would probably be more physical than 5 against the Cavs. I think we’d be able to score fine on them though, I don’t think they’re ready to be defending Tatum and company in the playoffs lol.

Cavs would probably have Mook Morris on Tatum. Talk about unfair :lol:


Magic, on the other hand, will give that task to Jonathan Isaac. I don’t think JT will like it. Let’s go Cavs!


Isaac will be unplayable on the other end of the court against the Celtics. He’d foul out of every game anyways, length is cool and all, but he’s not strong enough to defend Tatum in the playoffs.

The simple act of just playing russell west brick alone should be a firable offence.. They are literally way off of him daring him to shoot while his man clogs up all of his teammates.. You can use statistics auto I test.He is a disaster.. How does Ty Lue not see that???

Shooting is in the eye of the beholder.

1 ring does not make a coach great.

Calling a lot of timeouts is the mark of a great coach. :lol:

Still honestly up to your best player. The generational superstar makes the coach imo. Coach is essentially a babysitter. If they can manage the egos and have a good staff behind them, they can win a title with said superstar.

Pop hasn't won without Duncan. Spo without Lebron. Phil without Kobe/MJ. Kerr TBD w/o Curry. Then there's the one-hit wonders in Doc (KG), Carlisle (Dirk), Lue (Bron), Nurse (Kawhi), Bud (Giannis).

On the other hand, Magic length is more annoying to score on.


I prefer the Magic because I want the Cs to get reps against a great defense. And the Magic are ideal because while their defense is elite, their offense is horrendous so I don’t think they would be a real threat to send the Celtics home

If Mavs close out, it’s another year where those MVPs don’t win a title.

If the Clippers are eliminated, Jokic would be the only former MVP or Finals MVP still playing in the postseason. Then if the Nuggets don't make the Finals, it would the first time since 2009 that both Finals teams don't have a former MVP.

Jokic is the last former MVP standing.

Tatum has an opening here. Changing of the guard. Passing of the torch. Ascension to the throne.

Have to give credit where credit is due.

Kyrie's been playing well since he behaved.
